do you see the world more as Rust or Marty?

For me, I agree "the honorable thing for our species to do is to deny our programming. Stop reproducing, walk hand in hand into extinction - one last midnight, brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal."

How 'bout you?

i've always felt like more of a background character. an extra that shows up a few times, maybe in a suit, or in overalls, depending on the context, you know.

For people who thought Cohle's philosophy was simply hogwash, be aware that you're calling Arthur Schopenhauer and Friedrich Nietzsche hogwash. Just be aware of that. That is not, in fact, a college freshman stoned eating a pizza talking about life; that's Arthur Schopenhauer's thoughts on life.

Every southern friend that I have says that they grew up knowing a whole shitload of guys like Marty, that Woody Harrelson nailed the attitude of a middle-class southern white father. None of them ever met a guy like Rust.

I'm ambivalent about season 2. I was excited when I heard that they had Brad Pitt in talks for one of the leads, but then they hired Vince Vaughn and Colin Farrell.

I think he would've been well-cast as a detective in a limited-run TV series. :colbert:

That film had more in common with Angel Heart than it did with LA Confidential.

because its all about his dead daughter and spiritualism, finding some kind of heaven, and it doesnt fit with the character or the theme imo

i guess im ok with the lack of justice in the story but i feel like the end skates over it without dealing with CARCOSA CARCOSA THE YELLOW KING at all. it built it up and didnt really address it or even adequately dismiss it

what? it goes back to the rape cult from early creole settler days (pre carnival carnival) and the yellow king poem

basically just confirmation that Erol Childress wasn't the leader of the cult and that Marty and Rust didn't catch everyone

[edit] i ran out of netflix queue, i might watch the series again this week and see if my opinion has changed
