TRUE DETECTIVE on hbo - matthew mcconaughey, woody harrelson, michelle monaghan, fukunaga, pizzolatto

xpost otm

Ok people! But it does fail to create a sense of 20 years ago, it absolutely fails for me but w/e.

I haven't been to those Louisiana areas but rural Texas, if you ignore the cars, still looks like 1974.

what are they supposed to do play more candlebox

Woody and Matthew dance to lovefool, make eyes through big aquarium

look all I'm saying is that if they were jamming to walkmans and wearing reebok pumps, it would be much cooler

psst: it's all joeks xelab :)

So far they've used the black angels and 13th floor elevators, holding out hope for butthole surfers in the next episode

next week's episode has already leaked, i think xelab will find his concerns have been addressed, let's just say this show really 'sells the drama' ;)

Or zz top's I got to get paid
xp

is that winky because there are more boobs

or wait, 90s boobs somehow

90s boobs

:D

Really want to try quaaludes now.

ok fuckit i'm watching ep1 again

is there anything to be made of why we get to see the interviewers with Mcconaughey but all of harrelson's statement is pov direct to camera, no side conversations etc?

i just noticed it this time

and it looks like harrelson is at the same copshop they worked out of

you see the interviewers later i think?

love how you get slight hints of personality from the interviewers--one is rather slick and ingratiating and the other seems a bit more emotional. A nice moment when harrelson says "you're on to something new" and he just gets a cold stare in return before interviewer #1 brings him back on topic.

What was up with that picture in the home of the victim's mother? Mac kept staring at it, at first I thought it was a KKK pic but they cut to it and it looked like ppl in witch hats on horses w a girl standing in front

Also, it's weird there was this huge ass owl staring at them in the church at the end but no one says damn homie look at that owl up there

that picture was really disturbing. And the dolls!

yeah that photo was weird

I just want to say how gorgeous the intro/title sequence is.

otm

I'm on vacation and I figured out how to stream tv to my iPhone - just so the gf and I could watch e02. We caught 01 by pure fluke while flipping channels in a previous hotel.

I'm already bored with Harrelson's home life / affair stuff, such old hat. Casework only pls.

no way. adds shade to the way he's trying to put himself over as the good cop to mcconaughey's "bad cop".

once you know he's *that* kinda cop, you start to wonder what else he's capable of. it's good storytelling

I guess? I had just seen every one of those beats before and they were just so damn tiresme to watch. And the fact that he's remorseless about it tells me that nothing interesting will happen w/ the wife character. Which is too bad, 'cause I like Monaghan a lot.

oh please

He doesn't seem remorseless to me. He wasn't sobbing into his hands in a confessional booth - but he's obviously not proud of himself.

yeah i dont get that from him at all. dude's got a lot of guilt

his whole "you do what you gotta do to do the job" spiel seemed p straightforwardly delivered to me, but we'll see if the remaining eps prove different.

paused to look at that weird photo in ep2. yikes.

sure doesn't look like klan. no robes or hoods - they're like tall skinny pointed hats

hard to make out if they're women or men on the horses

next week's episode has already leaked, i think xelab will find his concerns have been addressed, let's just say this show really 'sells the drama' ;)

I mean, you're probably joking but I just ran to my "sites" to see if E3 has actually leaked and nothing :(

loved that beat of mcconaughey taking his own pulse after the lockerroom dustup

no idea wtf it means but i dig it

he talked in the episode about all the violence in his past undercover work and ensuing anxiety, I think he was checking how much the tenseness of the violent moment with Harrelson made his heart race. whether from excitement or anxiousness I took as ambiguous.

haha I just watched episode 2 thinking it was episode 1. Worked very well as a first episode!

apparently they kept owls and hawks on set to scare off songbirds because they were too loud and it was interfering with the filming

If this ever takes off Breaking Bad style expect lots of photos on Facebook of people posing with their Big Hug Mugs.

my god.... those tits

my major problem with smoking in this show is how he lights up in the car with the windows up, scene after scene

paused to look at that weird photo in ep2. yikes.

sure doesn't look like klan. no robes or hoods - they're like tall skinny pointed hats

Pretty sure they're Mardi Gras costumes as seen here:

cool yeah that might be it

am i the only one that thinks they saw a huge owl in the rafters of that church tho?
