I think the secret to motorcycle cop isn't that he's gay it's just that he only wants to gently caress machines the reason he sped fast on the motorcycle at night after loving that girl all day was so he could finally cum with his one true love.

In that way his deviant sexual lust lead him to a victim of deviant sexual lust the show is very poetic.

Nah, it's just something Lotsapizza got from Hunter S. Thompson:

quote:

Months later, when I rarely saw the Angels, I still had the legacy of the big machine—four hundred pounds of chrome and deep red noise to take out on the Coast highway and cut loose at three in the morning, when all the cops were lurking over on the 101. My first crash had wrecked the bike completely and it took several months to have it rebuilt. After that i decided to tide it differently: I would stop pushing my luck on curves, always wear a helmet and try to keep within range of the nearest speed limit…my insurance had already been canceled and my driver’s license was hanging by a thread.

So it was always at night, like a werewolf, that I would take the thing out for an honest run down the coast. I would start in Golden Gate park, thinking only to run a few long curves to clear my head…but in a matter of minutes I’d be out at the beach with the sound of the engine in my ears, the surf booming up on the sea wall and a fine empty road stretching all the way down to Santa Cruz…not even a gas station in the whole seventy miles; the only public light along the way is an all-night diner down around Rockaway Beach.

There was no helmet on those nights, no speed limit, and no cooling it down on the curves. the momentary freedom of the park was like one unlucky drink that shoves a wavering alcoholic off the wagon. I would come out of the park near the soccer field and pause for a moment at the stop sign, wondering if I knew anyone parked out there on the midnight humping strip.
The into first gear, forgetting the cars and letting the beast wind out…thirty-five, forty-five… then into second and wailing through the light at Lincoln Way, not worried about green or red signals, but only some other werewolf loony who might be pulling out, too slowly, to start his own run. not many of these … and with three lanes on a wide curve, a bike coming hard has plenty of room to get around almost anything … then into third, the boomer gear, pushing seventy-five and the beginning of a windscream in the ears, a pressure on the eyeballs like diving into water off a high board.

Bent forward, far back on the seat, and a rigid grip on the handlebars as the bike starts jumping and wavering int he wind. Taillights far up ahead coming closer, faster and suddenly—zaaapppp—going up past and leaning down for a curve near the zoo, where the road swings out to sea.
the dunes are flatter here, and on windy days sand blows across the highway, piling up in thick drifts as deadly as any oilslick … instant loss of control, a crashing, cartwheeling slide and maybe one of those two-inch notices in the paper the next day: “An unidentified motorcyclist was killed last night when he failed to negotiate a turn on highway I.”

Indeed… but no sand this time, so the lever goes up into fourth, and not there’s not sound except wing. Screw it all the way over, reach through the handlebars to raise the headlight beam, the needle leans down on a hundred, and the wind-burned eyeballs strain to see down the center line, trying to provide a margin for the reflexes.

But the throttle screwed on there is only the barest margin, and no room at all for mistakes. It has to be done right … and that’s when the strange music starts, when you stretch your luck so far that fear becomes exhilaration and vibrates along your arms. You cane barely see at a hundred; the tears blow back so fast that they vaporize before they get to your ears. the only sounds are the wind and a dull roar floating back from the mufflers. You watch the white line and try to lean with it … howling through a turn to the right, then to the left, and down the long hill to Pacifica… letting off now, watching for cops, but only until the next dark stretch and another few seconds on the edge…the Edge… there is no honest way to explain it because people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over. the other—the living—are those who pushed their control as far as they felt they could handle it, and then pulled back, or slowed down, or did whatever they had to when it came time to choose between Now and Later.

But the edge is still Out there. Or maybe it’s In. The association of motorcycles with LSD is no accident of publicity. They are both a means to an end, to the place of definitions.

Literal rape fetishes aren't super common

Yes they are.

From 1973 through 2008, nine surveys of women's rape fantasies have been published. They show that about four in 10 women admit having them (31 to 57 percent) with a median frequency of about once a month. Actual prevalence of rape fantasies is probably higher because women may not feel comfortable admitting them.

Does this rape fantasy differentiate between being grabbed in an alley by a homeless guy after a night at a bar and having Fabio come in to your candlelit room where he totally forces you to make love to him?


Edit: Actually it does. Read the article after I posted and the results do differ a lot when the term "rape" is used between when "overpowed by a man romance novel style" is used. Soo kudos to me.

Sufficiently kickass.
I'll admit I'm a few pages behind right now, but I just wanted to say that while there's a number of critics and sites who are doing a pretty good job at covering this season so far, it seems that for every good article published in regards to two episodes that have aired, at least two are published that are simply God-awful. I'm not saying that just because I disagree with their subjective takes on this aspect or that. I'm talking about honest-to-gently caress terrible reviews that spend more words crafting catty jokes about the accusations of plagiarism in season one, nitpicking actors'--even the ones in minor roles--past career decisions, or making speculations that we don't really have enough information to come to yet than they do talking about any part of the episodes' content in a significant manner. Somewhat needless to say: the most common offenders are the more minor sites and blogs, but still, it's annoying.

Thinking back on it, though, with the exception of the plagiarism BS (as the accusations hadn't been made yet), all of this could be said about the first season, as well.

Is the consensus that Velcoro died? I was thinking it was bean bag rounds or something, didn't notice any blood.

I'm also hoping that he didn't, because I thought he was one of the more genuinely interesting characters. I was sorta iffy on Colin Farrell when he was announced, but I thought he did a really good job so far. Vince not so much, but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt, I don't think he has completely stunk it up yet, which is what I was expecting.

Serious question, why do a lot of people say/think that Ray was the main character/the most interesting character etc.? Not interested in disputing that - it's an opinion - I'd just like to know why. Personally speaking, he feels the most 'traditional' of the mains to me - a crooked detective with aggression and substance abuse problems. Even Antigone the tough-as-nails-mean-girl feels like less of a trope.

I thought that Velcoro is the most convincingly 'authentic' main character so far. I think the others (except Ani perhaps), are more much more caricaturish, than anyone from season 1. Mcconaughey was also over the top in season 1, but similiar to Farrell, I think he made the character believable. Velcoro is a cliche sure, but the character seems authentic to me. Like it could be a real person more or less, I feel much less so with the others. Even most of the minor roles seem way over the top to me, the drunk fat cop, the mayor, etc. even the pimp and the hooker. Vince's wife and the russian mobster guy are reasonable too I guess. It's not that I dont like the anguish of repressed gay motorcycle guy, but he doesn't seem real to me.

That article is saying the same thing I was, that while some women are definitely into it, many aren't into it to the extent that it's a literal rape fantasy. That's why I used the word "literal", I was being literal. I know from experience that a lot women are into some kind of rough sex/being overpowered, but only one woman I've known in the Biblical sense thought of it as actually a "rape fantasy".

You apparently don't understand what the word literal means.

And yes, 32% of women admitting to still having them when rape is used instead of forced still makes it "super common", the exact opposite of what you claimed.

I think a very good scene would be the scene from the first episode where Vince Vaughn and Colin Farrell stare at each other for what felt like 10 minutes being sad but this time the mustache keeps swapping places like first it's on Colin but then it's on Vince and Colin's clean shaven and then it's back and forth back and forth while Sad Girl sings about broken wings or some poo poo.

It would lead the viewer to ask the important question: is this all a dream???
