I really enjoyed the first three episodes of this season of True Detective, watching them week to week, and didn’t get the criticism raised in the thread. Last night we caught up with episode four and five and while I thought they were cluttered, scattershot-feeling messes overall, they were enjoyable. As episode five ended I was thinking “Well, after a languid first three hours maybe they’re rushing to get a bunch of plot balls up in the air at the halfway point so they can have another five episodes to resolve them in a satisfying manner. Sloppy, but acceptable.” The I found out next episode is the last, which fills me with… rude humor, let’s say. I still think it’s the best season since season one, but that’s mainly due to how hard Pizzolatto dropped the ball the last two times out. Also, I have a feeling this is going to turn into an entertaining spectacle as they try to resolve all the mysteries and character arcs in a single episode.

So I just found out that Madame Web is technically a period piece. And no I don't just mean that it's lousy with broads, it's actually set in 2003 for some reason.

"They're called 'B movies' and 'B movie parties' are cropping up both in real life and on the internet. Participants purposely watch bad movies, sometimes providing their own commentary which can come in the form of jokes or even criticism of the movie as it plays. However amateurs aren't the only ones obsessed with this new tread. It's also big business on streaming platforms where certain popular channels can reach millions of views per video with would-be movie critics screaming 'AAAAAIIIIIIDDDDDDS! into their internet camera'."

The annoying part is (at least when I was looking around before) some of the actually bad ones have been replaced with "RiffTrax presents..." versions and it's like gently caress you, I wanna just watch this with friends and enjoy it. ...who am I kidding I'll watch it in depressing silence, but the extra commentary doesn't help.

They really go out of their way to remind the audience that the movie takes place in 2003 with some insane needle drops. Also, at some point they cut to a giant mural of Beyoncé's first solo record.

Also, at some point they cut to a giant mural of Beyoncé's first solo record. when Jay-Z was hired to produce the soundtrack for Fifty Shades of Gray, also starring Dakota Johnson, he made the clever decision to use the lead single from that album "Crazy in Love" (clever because Fifty Shades is famously about a really hosed up romance, and also because Beyonce is his wife so he probably made some $$$) that's struggling towards being interesting
