HBO Television Show: True Detective

[Bi_3]

I think the director already said its going to be a mystery based on reality but with supernatural touches and a very strong creepy vibe. The first was almost shot a as a horror movie, which tracks because she made one in the past.

First season had a lot of that, hell even in the finale they almost full five into that route, so its very cool they are doing it again.

Ok. That shot of the “The Thing” video tape made me nervous.

[VinylGuy]

Nah it was a cool nod to the most famous horror movie based in a distant snowy base.
It made me want to rewatch it soon

[Ello Sailor]

Yeah, I loved it. Give me all the creepy snow shit.

[Ensign9]

I also felt like the final shot of

Spoiler: show

the researchers frozen in ice

was taken straight out of the Dyatlov Pass mystery

Not great; not terrible.

[Ensign9]

I think that was good but I’m not positive yet. Looking forward to next week.

That movie is amazing. Even the remake was good.

I wonder though what the generational breakdown is there, how many people think of "The Thing" versus how many think of "30 Days of Night"?

i've seen the first three seasons. but admittedly, i remember very little from season three. i understand that season 1 had some easter eggs/references to this season. so my question: do i need to catch up on those seasons before watching this one?

the prequel? because the carpenter movie is actually a remake.

Good call with 30 days of night...

not at all

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I think I just stumbled across a documentary about the dyatlov pass on apple tv that I might check out

Stuff You Should Know did a great single episode on it. I think there's another entire podcast limited series all about it too.

cool

this all kinda reminds me of my Lost TV days, too

I like this weird, real life mystery stuff

[Ello Sailor]

Lost TV

I disagree. You should definitely rewatch season 1 because:
A) it's a masterpiece
B) it looks like this season may have some pretty close linkages to it

[VinylGuy]

nah i dont think this season will be close to one, maaaybe with a few callbacks but thats it

[epilogue]

After only one episode (which is in no way enough) this season kicks S1's ass.

But let's all calm down and see where we're headed.
