So excited... especially after the goddamned trainwreck of True Detective Season 2 (Seriously hope HBO learns a big lesson with that one).

South Korean TV spot campaign for Force Awakens has started. Only one new shot, but god drat the arrangement is great.

I'm not sure what they would learn as season 2 was pretty good. I know people were hard on it right out of the gate because it was a little slow to start, but it seems like most people have turned around on it.

TVIV is a horrible place to get opinions about TV shows. If it is hated there then you can be pretty positive the show is actually quite good.

That's pretty hyperbolic, much like TVIV!

True Detective season 2 was good, I enjoyed it, but I don't think it's anywhere near as good as the first season, and even on its own merits it had several significant issues. I do think it's worth watching, regardless, especially now that you won't have to wait a week between each episode.

True Dick 2 was an absolute catastrophe, but a fun one to watch unfold. i do hope there's a season 3.

True Detective 2 is a mustard bog with a lot of plot and no story. There are legitimately interesting ideas in the premise and even in the plot, but the narrative completely fails to serve those ideas in a compelling way. A lot of things happen offscreen that really should be happening onscreen, and the key players outside the main 4 don't have enough screentime and/or characterization to get the audience invested in the struggle against them. I would not recommend the show.

Every episode of True Detective was good. TVIV drunk watching and forgetting people's names and then blaming it on bad writing was infuriating.

Sinister turned to garbage when it turned out some demon was forcing kids to do the killings but the videos/titling were disturbing as hell and were far and away the best part of the movie. Don't have high hopes for the sequel.

I was too distracted by Ethan Hawkes oddly feminine sweater thing that he wore the entire time in that movie. JUST TAKE THAT poo poo OFF MAN.

I am now more convinced than ever that Darth Revan is the big bad, that shot is way too similar to the dark side ending of the first game to be coincidence.

I just remember watching the beginning of Westworld as a kid and being super disappointed that this cool future film turn into a loving western and then I never finished it.

I'm sure it's a good film but limiting it to that one setting always seemed odd to me.

How did you come to the conclusion that True Detective is Rightfully Not Good? I want to take a peek into this school of criticism.
