I'm watching two movies in a row where Vince Vaughan plays a southern drug dealer. In this one he goes to jail, and I'm just loving baffled by this. Why even chain him at all? You've restricted his movement almost in no way. He beats up prison guards throughout this movie and not once do they think, hey maybe we should get chains that actually reduce his ability to kick everyone's rear end? Anyone who's been in jail knows, you can't even get your hands to your mouth the way they're chained. You can walk ABOUT a foot for each step. Because, duh, the chains are there to make sure you're completely without ability to kick prison guard rear end edit:  who could have seen this coming Our four foot-long chain policy proved to be our downfall!  And then when he gets the jump on the guards, what does he do? CUFFS THEM FROM BEHIND BECAUSE NO poo poo credburn has a new favorite as of 05:37 on Feb 3, 2024 |

I heard the season coming out was meh, but then I heard it was good, what are your thoughts? and yeah, s2 was still decent and if it had been any other shhow or followed any other performance it would've been fine to good as a show. But S1 was legitimately amazing on many levels and it was a hard act to follow.

S02 had some good scenes but everything after like the fourth episode is garbage and it has a pretty good climax but a garbage ending.

Isn't season 4 basically like "whoops found like 20 dead naked people all frozen in some weird kinda orgy", with that sheriff lady who has brass dimples installed? I have not kept up with the series since about 20 mins past the first episode of the first season.

Fun fact: Despite taking place in Alaska season 4 of True Detective is almost entirely filmed in Iceland. Presumably for Tax reasons.

Android Apocalypse posted:I'll still contest that season 2 is good but will always pale in comparison to the glory that was season 1. I'm watching the series for the first time, finished season 1 last week, got distracted by watching Band of Brothers, then started season 2 and am about halfway. I think it does the neo-noir style really well and most of the performances are strong, even Vaughn, who I think if you look at him like a loser small time criminal who's not half as smart as he either thinks he is or wants people to think he is, then the convoluted dialogue makes more sense. The season's main failing seems to be that it wants every character to be Rust-lite but as a result of that you don't have any "grounded" character to react to all the philosophical ramblings, which is where season 1 far surpasses it. Woody being like "WTF are you talking about you psycho" was an important part of the first season and so far in season 2 nobody is really doing that. I guess McAdams detective is kind of like that but it doesn't gel as well. Also, the amount of time that passes in season 1 really emphasizes how this kind of depravity can be concealed inside such a uniquely insular culture while corrupting those who come in contact with it. also Alexandra Daddario's boobs

Season 4 was not supposed to be True Detective at all but HBO slapped the brand on it and they wrote in a few random (so far) easter eggs for S1. There are like 8 scientists who were found naked and frozen in a big pile, there is some kind of mine that's poisoning the town, and a bunch of tension between white and Inuit people.

Okay, shoot me in the arm or leg or whatever, you'll still have to dig my grave yourself because now I'm incapacitated by pain/wounds. In any case I would rather die screaming than labor for free

I think the idea is that most people don't want to die and are probably willing to buy a little extra time even if it's .unpleasant, maybe even with a desperate hope that something will happen to forestall the execution altogether.

Was it Joe Pesci in Casino who said you dig the hole first before you drag someone to the desert to kill them, otherwise you're hanging around for hours and more likely to get busted? I feel like it was Casino. E:

I would offer to trade them the shovel for their gun, and when they'd say "Why would I do that? It's already my shovel!" I'd go, "No it's not."
