Kirsten Dunst has completely turned it around, not sure why she was so blah in episode 1 but right now I'm enjoying her performance more than Plemons and I kinda hope she ends up murdering him and becomes the focal point of the show or something. Basically I hope she's this season's Lester Nygard.

Me too. I am enjoying watching her scheme and come a bit unraveled. As the season progresses, I hope she goes all  on everyone. Ret-con that poo poo and let her stab little Molly.

Really hoping that their plotline spirals out of control and Fat Damon ends up murdering the Gerhardt's and the Kansas City crew just to continue trying to cover up Rye.

AbstractNapper posted:I really liked that scene as an artsy thing the director thought of,, and in my mind they didn't actually have the dialogue at a different time. Yeah, I think it was a conversation that never really happened. It's just them communicating through their body language. It illustrates the husband's uneasiness and nervousness and the wife's naive confidence and reassurance to "her paladin." It was a really well done scene.

Didn't someone draw a map up earlier that had all the locations of whose who and from where? Like obviously the KC mob is in KC, the typewriter guy was in Fargo, etc.

I love Kirsten Dunst, Virgin Suicides was great. She did some shlocky stuff with Spiderman and I didn't like that weird movie she did where she takes her shirt off and the moon crushes her, but I love my lil snaggletooth. Shes great so far IMO. My friend was telling me he doesn't like the cast because of her and meth damon, and apparently he doesn't like ted danson....... wtf. He likes the season, just "not the cast" whatever that means. I think so far things are about as perfect as we could have hoped, look at True Detective 2....

And for another Breaking Bad comparison, it'll be a total Heisenberg move.Also Dunst is still hot as hell, and I really like that she looks more like a normal person now. That shot when you see her chin get all ugly like us civilians  .

So It Goes posted:An interview with the creator. He also explains every goon's randomly favorite pet-peeve: split-screen. It's really not a random pet peeve. He's misusing a technique that is commonly used for a very specific reason. Everything you do on the screen means something. If you zoom in on an object, we assume it's important to the story. If an actor is out of focus in the background, we assume he's not important. If you show actor A taking a poo poo, and cut to actor B looking at a turd in a toilet, we assume that he's looking at the turd of A, and B is in the same place but at another time. The audience, unless given clues to the contrary, will assume that the second scene happens after the first scene, and the third scene will take place after that in the timeline of the narrative. For this exact reason, we also assume that two things that are shown simultaneously on screen is happening simultaneously in the narrative. Which is why split screens exist. The interview is fantastic. He can't explain it himself. He claims it's used for catching up with several characters at once, so we don't forget about them, like in Game of Thrones. It has never been used like this in the episodes so far. Then he reveals that it's something he does in editing, and the directors didn't know about this when they shot the footage, or were unwilling to shoot like this to accommodate his hack whims. Which explains why it looks so amazingly out-of-place. Apparently Keith Gordon, who directed episode 7 and 8, shot specifically with split screen in mind, so it will be interesting to see the difference. And then he says "and it has the added benefit that it looks like a seventies film-making trope". gently caress you, Noah, you god damned hack. You are editing this like a bored receptionist designing a office party flyer with excessive clip art.

Why can't they just use split screen as a stylistic visual choice as opposed to a storytelling method? It's kind of unconventional, but who cares?

I enjoy the split screen because they're showing fairly simple scenes in them that don't require a huge amount of investment to understand before glancing at the next one. "Oh, those two are driving cool. That guy is also driving, neat." Second season has so far suffered from not having Billy Bob, but it's otherwise still knocking it out of the park.

The split-screen parts have been pretty neat but now every time it gets used in the future I'm just going to remember it as "that thing that one goon got really mad about for no good reason."

AV Club had a video about it where they point out the similarities between Milligan's and the Gerhardts' confrontation with Lou. They both "end" with someone patting Lou, both crowd Lou and they both end with the victor leaving. They're supposed to be juxtaposed, I think, because Lou win's the Gerhardt confrontation but loses the Milligan confrontation which gives the situation something of a hierarchy.

"Red Man" (have they called him anything other than that yet?) is a scary dude. "He seemed real angry." "Yeah, I got that part. Got any other Einstein insights you wish to contribute?" e- Wow, FX might have had a very brief nip slip there. Been flirting with it for years.
