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?

yeah, that article could have used a few sentences of context. I think Nikki Pizza was responding to criticism about his female characters or something. Good to know he has a woman friend tho.

well it's set in California and presumably the subject is conspiracies so I'll assume Pynchon is the starting place right

it would be cool if the show got some older actors in the mix. i feel like Damages is a high water mark for modern cable drama casting, so many vets got to go on that show and do something unlike their previous roles and usually kill it.

I don't think it's totally crazy to throw TCoL49 in with that bunch and my understanding is Inherent Vice is playing with a similar sorta frame but I haven't gotten to it yet.

"Good to know he has a woman friend tho."
A woman friend who is the wife of T-Bone Burnett (who coincidently does the music for the show). Not sure this counts.

reportedly Justin Lin (Fast Five, Community's paintball episode) is in talks to direct the first two episodes.
While I consider myself a fan of Lin, and don't even hate the actors being batted around, this thing seems destined for the biggest backlash. I can't say I'm surprised they still want to call it True Detective, but I almost can.
― da croupier, Friday, 5 September 2014 19:27 (nine years ago) link
like, unless the new directors go all-in imitating Fukunaga's style (and since he directed the entire series, it WAS his style), all that will carry over is a script by Enrico Polazzo and maybe a credit sequence full of sad cops and lady butts
― da croupier, Friday, 5 September 2014 19:30 (nine years ago) link
feel like its kinda cool to get a different director as long as its someone good
― lag∞n, Friday, 5 September 2014 19:33 (nine years ago) link
don't get me wrong, i might watch a new HBO detective show with a pilot directed by lin or william friedkin starring vince vaughn and/or colin farrell. I just wouldn't hear that and assume "oh that's true detective season 2"
― da croupier, Friday, 5 September 2014 19:36 (nine years ago) link
Has anyone caught Lin's non-f&f stuff?
I saw better luck tomorrow but that was in high school
I know he did some flick about the naval academy
I feel like if he was given a non action movie space to work in he could flex and come up with something good... And as good as helming the F&F franchise has been for him, it's certainly pigeonholed him
But yeah if he does this F&F style there will be a lot of lol's
― 龜, Friday, 5 September 2014 19:36 (nine years ago) link
feel like somehow people's personal distaste for NP has carried over into this idea that fukunaga is some master stylist who elevated boilerplate material. which strikes me as a big stretch. I don't want to parse credit, but I think they'll be fine without him. obv it's a whole new story/characters so there's a high risk of failure no matter what.
― ryan, Friday, 5 September 2014 19:38 (nine years ago) link
i got better luck tomorrow from netflix recently (as i said, i'm kind of a fan). Not without note but obvious juvenalia (endless narration, corny montage tricks) and def not gonna win cinematography awards at sundance like fukunaga's debut did
― da croupier, Friday, 5 September 2014 19:39 (nine years ago) link
And if it's like any other TV show in the world, it has a boilerplate stylebook.
― the one where, as balls alludes (Eazy), Friday, 5 September 2014 19:40 (nine years ago) link
but that's the thing - it's not totally "like any other TV show in the world." Fukunaga directed every episode. It was basically a miniseries.
― da croupier, Friday, 5 September 2014 19:41 (nine years ago) link
whether or not he's a "master stylist" isn't an issue so much as that he has style
― da croupier, Friday, 5 September 2014 19:42 (nine years ago) link
and that the style was part of what made the show distinctive
oh def agree. he knocked it out of the park.

idk most tv shows have many different directors over the course of a single season while visual cohesion is maintained, but it might be kind of cool to keep the writer and switch the director and actors up so theres still some continuity but it also has a self contained seasonal aspect
― lag∞n, Friday, 5 September 2014 19:43 (nine years ago) link
fukunagas style was a lil heavy hand imho

I just mean the "NP is a lame pseud whose script was saved by great acting and directing" narrative strikes me as way off. (lame pseud stuff notwithstanding)
