I think he'd qualify for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama, at the Emmys. This year, Major Dad won for that weepy ABC show with Jess Mariano, so I could see this outcome.

Am I wrong, or do guys who play serial killers well to the degree that the Kemper actor did (forget his name) not typically get awards? I see inspiration roles and biographical roles get more awards than anything. Also, he played Kemper so well that I'd be no-poo poo scared of the actor if I saw him on the street.

He nailed it. Watching interviews with Kemper then this dude playing him, it's so uncanny.

His voice is fantastic. Also he's the son of Julie Wilson which is just loving awesome. I would imagine that he and Groff just bonded immediately over that fact.

I don't think there's anywhere to watch that show now, though. Profiling is a load of bull, but I'm willing to suspend my distaste for it because this show is excellent.

I should have drawn a bit more attention to that, because it's insane and amazing and weirdly fits with what we see of Kemper: quote:For 27 years prisoners at Vacaville have been recording books--best sellers, textbooks, mysteries, science fiction, Westerns, children's books and cookbooks--on tape for blind men, women and children all over America.

So did Smiley Smile, an experimental album that is more sonically adventurous than most popular music at the time. Meanwhile in 1977, Can had already done their most interesting work and were coasting. Neu weren't making music as a group. I never liked Amon Duul, so I don't know what they were up to.

It's been mentioned in this thread already but Fincher's Zodiac is a pretty good cooldown movie to watch after this show so you won't have that hollow feeling of having to wait at least a year and change for season 2. Also it's one of his best movies so there's that, too.

I’ve watched Zodiac but not properly so need to see if it is available on one of the streaming platforms I subscribe to. Just finished this, was wary that the finale was going to be a damp squib but the ending pulled it out of the bag with finesse, can’t wait for the next season.

i wish the show had less of their personal lives because it's the weakest part of the show and the music choices are terrible (psycho killer? give me a break) but the actual mindhunting parts are insanely good. too bad profiling is bullshit.pentyne posted:Yeah I can't imagine people not wanting to learn more about Kemper. Listening to him talk he is spellbinding and a complete shock compared to the typical media portrayal of deranged serial killer. He's made no attempt to whitewash or pretend he's anything other then he is and it is insane. they have kemper interviews on youtube and a lot of the dialogue on the show was taken from them verbatim. even the "now you've had sex" line.

Considering Fincher directed Episode 9 it was probably intentional, but the amount of food Ford and Debbie grabbed during the supermarket scene was ridiculous. My wife and I cringed each time Ford tossed a glass jar into the cart. Who does that?! He's the real monster.

Also what was up with scenes in the laundry room? I'm assuming it was supposed to be eerie and also a sign of being colder? Also gently caress that whole tickling thing. Dude literally gave him a like 5 warnings and he didn't change. Like what did he expect? And his wife acting smug and bitter about, cmon man, Holden gave him a break. Also the doctor seems a bit useless aside from the mental exercises.

Buckwheat Sings posted:Those jars of sauce are 100% broken. I expected more from a Midwest kid. The tickling thing annoyed me: I'm assuming they were trying to make the principal seem more sympathetic when the wife confronted Holden, but it's so ridiculous. All he had to do was listen to the parents, the PTA, his colleagues, and the FBI. He had so many chances. That plotline would've been a lot less ridiculous if the principal met with the drama department and created an elaborate play. Something with a musical number about how he doesn't diddle kids. That would've probably calmed everyone down.

tickling - I found it hard to believe there wasn't a dad that was just like "Stop touching my kid or I'll gently caress you up" Everyone just kinad went with it. Although to be fair, Holden basically said that as THE FBI and it didn't faze the guy so...

I think the fact that guy was so committed to it in spite of all the warnings says it all. If it was actually as innocuous as he claimed, a rational person would stop anyway...even if he thought it wasn't a big deal, other people did so why pick that battle? I didn't have any sympathy for him on that basis. Holden made it very clear: stop touching students or this will get worse for you. The fact he wouldn't or couldn't stop makes it a reasonable concern that he'd escalate his behavior.
