TRUE DETECTIVE on hbo - Season Two

Fresno is one of the cities along with Terre Haute, IN & Vancouver, WA that I have gotten instant, lets-get-the-fuck-out-of-here vibes from.

Amarillo for me

xpost Apropos of nothing, you just completely blew my mind with that. I had a dream as a kid about Carol Burnett owning a vineyard (which I only really remember because it was maybe the most boring and interminable dream I ever had) and I thought it was completely a product of my imagination.

does anyone else feel like the promo spots HBO is airing for the final season of true blood and the premiere season if the leftovers look like they're for the exact same show?

True Leftovers

i thought they were ads for a new show about Louisiana called Treme Bloodtective

In a discussion about his shift towards long-form television as opposed to big-screen features (both "To Live and Die in LA" and "Killer Joe" are being mooted for TV adaptations, and we've plenty on both in the upcoming interview), Friedkin name-checked a few shows that he felt had taken the place of films as the topic of water-cooler, or "coffee machine" conversation—"Homeland," "24," and "True Detective."

At the mention of the last we couldn't help but let him know that we had him pegged as one of the five directors we'd like to see direct a season of the show down the line. Would he consider it, we asked, if they came knocking? He paused a moment, looking a tiny bit surprised.

"I am considering it." said Friedkin. "I like this writer [Nic Pizzolatto] very much. I've met him, and he's the real deal as far as I'm concerned. Now, all the new seasons are different so I'm not committed—this new season has nothing to do with the last one. Except for him and his sensibility, which I think is extraordinary."

Pushing a little to get him to confirm that he's in the mix, Friedkin remained positive but circumspect.

"I'm… I can't say much more at this time. But I'm a fan of his writing, even though this will not be a continuation of what was done before with (Matthew) McConaughey (with whom obviously Friedkin has a relationship after 'Killer Joe') and Woody Harrelson. So what you can say is I'm a huge fan of his writing, I've met with him, I like him, I like the direction he's taking with this."

"Did you guys see Homeland last night? Wow!"

"My favorite part is the relationship between Claire Danes and the terrorist guy!"

"Or that little kid who is always practicing karate, he is so awesome!"

I love Friedkin but I dunno if his strengths would really be best-served in a longform TV series

better get one great car chase out of it

I love Friedkin but I dunno if his strengths would really be best-served in a longform TV series

― Οὖτις - i get this but i kinda think this show is an exception, to live and die in l.a. stretched out into episodic form could totally be a season of true detective.

friedkin did an episode of csi

there were an unprecedented number of crowd scenes

hopefully Wang Chung will replace T Bone Burnett

Along with Farrell, Taylor Kitsch is being floated. RIGGINS!*

(I just like to say "Riggins!" when possible. I'm not exactly endorsing him being cast.)

i'll watch it for sure, but when i think about the problems of the td script i don't think of william friedkin as the guy who can navigate us past them

i guess i should say "i would watch it for sure" as we're just working with a bit of cryptic confusion in an interview

we're faced with the very real prospect of COLIN FARRELL starring in the next season and you're worried about Friedkin maybe directing a later season?

I won't watch anything with colin farrell in it, in case that wasn't clear

If you can't cast ugly people in a show like this, where can you cast them anymore?

i'm cool with colin farrell starring in this television show

miami vice: the movie: the tv series

colin's done some fine work, just been in a lot of bad movies

i mean there are reports that there are 4 leads and maybe there's still a heavy that hasn't been announced, but if the biggest star in the show goes from MM to CF that's kind of a downgrade just in starpower, never mind that i wouldn't put In Bruges or whatever CF's best performance is up against any of MM's best roles.

my heart is def not a-flutter imagining colin farrell doing rust cohle monologues but a) wasn't exactly jonesing for Mateo to speak them either before he did and b) no reason to assume Colin would be asked to play a knock-off rust cohle anyway

I'd be down with Farrell as long as it's a McConaghey-like performance where everyone's going, "Wow, this is amazing, completely unlike any acting I've ever seen before from Colin Farrell!"

i will say if Farrell was being asked to replace Mateo as Rust Cohle in True Detective: Legacy I'd be unenthusiastic. And that's basically the situation William Friedkin would be in, respective to Fukunaga.

I don't think McConaghey's performance as Rust was unlike anything he'd done before, it was pretty close to his more recent roles in Mud, Killer Joe, etc.

Only know him from That 70s Show movie.

I polled his most recent stuff but can't find the thread bah

Farrell would be fine, I'm sure. Much more worried about Riggins tbh.

the more i think about this the more TD needs at least one lead every season with CHEERS on the resume

Colin Farrell & Tim Riggins?

YES PLEASE

biker gang meth head stash house shootout episode was already probably the most mannish non-mann thing ever, i'm fine w/ this

"You know, humans are things that labor under the illusion of having a self; an accretion of sensory, experience and feeling, programmed with total assurance that we are each somebody, when in fact everybody is nobody."

"Well if there's anybody who should be an expert on being a nobody, it's you, Cliff."

{LAUGH TRAK}

Cheers was filmed before a live studio audience >:(

See, the preacher, he encourages your capacity for illusion. Then he tells you it's a fucking virtue. Always a buck to be had doing that, and it's such a desperate sense of entitlement, isn't it?

I mean, touché.

Would watch if Farrell's sidekick was Rhea Perlman (as Carla Tortelli)

hopefully Wang Chung will replace T Bone Burnett

Also for the O Brother, Where Art Thou? miniseries.

for real...slash film will be reporting soon

Vince Vaughn & Colin Farrell

"You're drunk!"
"YOU'RE drunk."
*blood*
The end.

this cld be us but u playin
