RockRaines Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 21, 2015 -> 06:34 PM) With her behavior the last two days, I wonder if Audrey is bipolar or manic depressive. Even if I wanted to, I cant lay around all day in bed. She's just a spoiled little baby that is pouting now that her game is up. She played a crap game from the outset and it finally caught up with her. Even if you are the biggest target in the house there is a way to play that and stay safe, instead she decided to pout and out every alliance she knew about.

Heads22 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Supposedly, TD is going to have an orgy scene, possibly with Ani, in one of the upcoming episodes. Good enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShandyMan Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Everyone should go check out Tut on spike's website. It's a 3 episode (1.5 hours each) mini series. Absolutely fantastic, I meant to watch one episode and 4.5 hours later here I am.

Boopa1219 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 20, 2015 -> 09:43 PM) Please elaborate. The tracking shot from the first season was incredible, one of the best action sequences in TV history. The shootout in last week's episode was entertaining but nothing special. I guess I don't get the comparison. The shootout at episode 4 was amazing, one of things that made it better than the long shot from the first season was that I didn't know who was going to survive, we all knew that Rust was going to make it out alive, we just didn't know how. In the shootout, I really feared for all the characters. Why I really like it? The shootout was a perfect mix of grit and glamour, while being very grotesque. Not because of the gore that was in the scene (Dixon gets his head blown off and a civilian is shot in the head at point blank range) but because of how realistic it was. This want just mindless action either as there was a ton of character in this scene, this is especially true for Paul, who steals the scene. Throughout the previous three episodes we have been hearing about his military past and that payed off here in a big way as he single handedly wins the gunfight. Remember the rain of gunfire that the cops encountered when they came onto the scene, Paul gets them out of it. Remember the scene where Paul is in Ray's car and he is talking about not knowing who he is and not knowing where he belongs, in the shootout he was right in his element. Another thing that made it very realistic was the added presence of the civilian protesters and the pimp at the end. Imagine a shooutout breaking out in the middle of the Baltimore Protest? Imagine all the innocent people being shot by misfire and stay bullets. You see that in True Detective. I also like how the pimp at the end realized his impending doom and was like f*** IT, so he kills the hostage prompting Ray and Paul to kill him. It was really well shot as it was easy to follow while going back and forth between the three characters' perspectives, while making you feel like you were right in the middle of the action. The way it was edited allowed for natural intensity and it didn't rely on a filmmaking trick (long shot) to create tension. The best shootout since Heat.

I thought that the shootout was one of the most intense 15 minutes on TV I can remember. It felt real because there wasn't some of the silly dialogue you sometimes hear in scenes like that. The perspective switched between the three characters, and each of them looked truly scared and amped up. And their reactions when it was over (along with the wide shot of the bodies all over the place) were realistic, too. No high-fiving, smiles, etc. Just them gasping for breath, looking around stunned. Excellent stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not dull, more has happened in the first 4 episodes of season 2 than all of season 1. And the psychosphere is larger this time around. While season 1 was lighter and easier to grasp, season 2 is full of allegories, clues, suspects, etc while being very dark. Nic Pizzalatto defnitely put a lot into the first few episodes of the second season and is really taking his time to tell this story and based on the first 5 episodes there is going to be a serious pay off. Watch every episode of the season again and after each episode read these or just read them, this season is anything but dull. http://www.polygon.com/2015/6/30/8869875/t...cters-plot-help http://www.polygon.com/2015/7/7/8901145/tr...iew-walkthrough http://www.polygon.com/2015/7/15/8962955/t...t-mexican-drugs http://www.polygon.com/2015/7/22/9011429/t...plot-help-recap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gooch Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I found McAdams and Farrells' characters fascinating. The Motorcycle guy is alright, and Vince Vaughn is just not believable to me. Maybe it is bias because he has played so many comedy roles. I loved him acting in Swingers and thought he could pull this off (I know they are nothing alike and Swingers is still mostly a comedy). I was bored after the first episode (Colin Farrell beating that Dad up was badass), but the shootout brought me back. Dialogue was extremely slow for awhile. I thought the shootout was brilliantly shot and had me on the edge of my seat. It brought my interest level back up and I thought the last episode was really good as well. I am actually interested to see where it goes now, as opposed to not caring before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season has been an absolute chore to watch, and if it wasn't only 8 episodes long, and didn't have the True Detective name, I would have dropped it already. Despite being predictable, last's week revelation about Ray's wife's rapist was the first interesting thing to happen this season. The murder of Caspere is a giant Who Cares, as is the corruption and criminality related to OOOOOH a railway line deal. Even after reading those links (I have no interest in rewatching the episodes), I'm not sure what kind of complexity with clues and suspects you're referring to. Simply having 90% of the characters be shady folks doesn't make for an interesting mystery. Caspere was shady. Frank is shady. Blake is shady. Osip is shady. Chessani is shady. Tony is shady. Ani's dad is shady. Pitlor is shady. Holloway is shady. The DA is shady. Lt. Burris is shady. Dixon was shady. Geldof is shady. The Senator is shady. The corporate guy is shady. The mystery in season 1 was bizarre and compelling. This one is boring. And Vince Vaughn and Kelly Reilly are producing some of the worst scenes on television.

Brian Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 TD s2 is definitely dull. I didn't see the shootout scene but have trouble believing it could be better than the big scene in s1. I love long tracking shots/takes. It takes a lot of time and effort to block and execute those and lets the action seem natural and real rather than cut cut cut like Michael Bay.

It was good. now move on Yeah, I don't know if Fox thought it was going to be as good as it was (or at least it didn't seem like they did). Maybe it was more that they had delays in releasing it? But I guess they had clauses to protect them in case their was a season 2, but those clauses had expired. Supposedly Fox now is thinking about bringing it back. I didn't know what to expect (and I don't like M Night or haven't since Signs which has to be like 15 movies ago). That said, this was a really well done show. Ending could have been a little better but other then questioning the last 5 minutes, lots of action, etc, good twists. Maybe Night should do some more tv (vs. movies). Then again, he'll probably overthink it and ruin that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
