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

ooh an LA one would be cool. TO LIVE AND DETECT(IVE) IN LA :D

would def be cool if they stuck around, but if this season finishes as strongly as it's started it will be interesting to see who they get--I have to imagine a lot of good actors would be lining up for it.

That last post was towards s1ocki.

yes

tho technically hbo hasn't picked it up yet.

True, but considering it's their highest rating premiere since Boardwalk Empire, it's safe to say they'll go again with it.

I expect we'll hear something in the next week as they usually renew after the second or third episode.

this is almost certainly winning some major emmys (though facing breaking bad's final year is a problem obv) so yeah it'll be back, that's a foregone conclusion.

you can certainly call Matthew McC for the best tv actor golden globe already tho

i think it would be cool if next season they were dinosaur detectives and they had to solve dinosaur crimes

heres what that would be like

woody the dinosaur sez 'do you think a dinosaur can love two women?'

mcconaughey the dinosaur sez 'i dont know if dinosaurs can love'

&they're wearing mega tight shirts

nihilism and tight shirts go hand in hand.

dinosaur detective should be set in the late 60s. mcconanagahey can hold his joint like a joint.

yeah but things are pointing more toward the Woody character, not as the perpetrator, but for something. He just gets pwned all over the place in ep 2. His philandering is found out by Cohle (who then threatens to break his wrists), Cohle single handedly extracts the bunny ranch info while Woody waits in the car, both his wife and boobalicious call him out on shit (his wife even calling him a chickenshit in response to which he makes the craven 'even your mom thinks you're a ballbuster' comment) and most notably at the bunny ranch by the proprietor. Constant stream of humiliation has to be taking a toll.

hes def on edge and/or kinda unstable too -- im sure hed normally let his father-in-law get away w/ his old crank bullshit but he calls him on it; plus giving a wad of $ to the young prostitute is being overly personal/sentimental

pro tip: turn on your cables subtitles for these eps -- the writing is so sparkling & also dialogue is often tough to hear clearly

Sure thing gramps

also, get off my lawn

some meaty menswear wide shots in this ep:

woody be eatin ass.

ass cake

all I can think of when I see their superior is Murry Wilson

all I can think is hey that's Ben from Veep and then I want to watch Veep again

i really hope woody doesn't wind up as the perpetrator in this because that's been done to death. can't remember where (prime suspect maybe) but it seems too obvious.

i would have eaten her ass too. damn.

imagine next season when he's a dinosaur

it was like they had to cast someone extra special hot for woody to cheat with to make michelle monaghan as the harried housewife seem less silly

this faded memory of a town sure has a lot of pretty ladies in it

so many hot nubile young sauropods

t did occur to me that the drugged-out hookers are a little too photogenic.

i can smell the stegosaur

Hope Fukunaga stays on for a second season. Easily one of the best looking shows on TV.

Same DP as Top of the Lake and Snowtown. I suspect he deserves a fair share of the props on that score.

There’s been talk about doing a second season of the show, but with entirely different actors. Is that something you would be involved with, in some way, or do you feel like you’ve made your mark on True Detective?

FUKUNAGA: I made my mark. I’ll be involved, as a producer, but it’s the next director’s job to bring that to life. I wish them luck. It’s a marathon.

his It movie could be cool though

oh man yeah I would love to see that now, based on TD

i don't get why people think either of the detectives is responsible for the murder? i'd say they end up catching some dude with pressure from governor's office & pastor cousin, have a hunch it isn't the right guy but life goes on, maybe do smth that forces them to stop being "true detectives" and are now being called back cos some other similar murder just happened.

mayeb the show is a secret true blood crossover ("true") and its a vamp thing

mmm i could get into that. and mcconaughey gets off qaaludes and on blood.

speaking of qaaludes, weren't they long off the market by '95?

way long i thought, maybe he was trying to buy expired-ass southern quaaludes

rmde at all of you - cool creepy halfway decent show comes on tv & all you want to talk about is maybe their suits were too tight

did I mistake this for I Love Tailoring

haha otm

tho I did notice the suits but idc

this is dope tho im psyched

*mainlines the secret truths of the universe*

otm re the birds mentioned upthread in the voiceover he talks abt being tuned into the secrets of the universe so I think he saw the symbol in the birds and knows hes gonna find something in the church

I've got Nic Pizzolatto's novel 'Galveston' cued up on my kindle for my long haul flight in a couple of weeks *super excited*

apparently they're already pushing season 2

my theory its not that they arrested the wrong guy its that it was a group of guys and they only got one of them, hints at this are the arrangement of the naked Barbie being menaced by the four kens in woodys kids room and the existence of the cult task force cause thats what it is a cult

i like it.

i have no idea my head is so full of POINTY HATS WHAT ARE THE POINT HATS seriously though those boobs WHAT IS THE SPIRAL hey owl ANTLERS ANTLERS ANTLERS

I was assuming the pointy hats were some kind of Ku Klan Klan type of thing but maybe not

nah man I paused that scene on my tv, they're just hats, not hoods. you can see faces. the clothes don't look like cloaks even. it's fking weeeeeeird as shit.
