TV/MoviesRe: Is Spiderman The Best Comic Movie Adaptation? by RayMcBlue(m): 10:25am On Jul 07, 2014
Spider-Man's movie adaptations are atrocious to say the least. X-Men series, Incredible Hulk, Blade Series, and TDK are all better adaptations by a stretch.

The format of the show is wide open.
“I tried to make the format as broad for my tastes as possible in the sense that, yes, this is almost the ‘True Detective’ version of a buddy cop movie hunting for a serial killer,” Pizzolatto said at TCA. “And in that way, it even touches on a lot of those tropes while, I hope, subverting and making them entirely new through the character work. And, you know, there could be a season that's much more of a widespread conspiracy thriller, a season that's a small town murder mystery, a season where nobody is murdered and it's a master criminal versus a rogue detective or something.

Even the title, ‘True Detective,’ is meant to be, of course,
purposefully somewhat generic before you even get to the there are deeper indications. The word ‘true’ can also mean honorable and authentic and things like that. But all the previous incarnations of anything titled ‘True Detective’ was an anthology; right? So as long as there is some crime in there, I think the series format can approach it. I mean, theoretically you could tell Faulkner's ‘Absalom Absalom!’ as a season of ‘True Detective’ because it's told as a mystery story.”

There will be more than one director this time.
Season 1 owes much of its gorgeous, moody aesthetics to Cary Fukunaga, but logistics will prevent him from shooting every episode in Season 2, as he did in Season 1.

“We don't have any plans to work with one director again,” Pizzolatto told Buzzfeed. “It would be impossible to do this yearly as we need to be able to do post while we're still filming, like any other show. There's some great guys I've consulted, and we're all confident we can achieve the same consistency

colossus2: I thought Strike Back has Season 5. It ended in Season 5 or was it Season4? I can't recall anyway. It is a lovely series.
Scott my man and Stonebridge smiley
Strike Back currently has 4 seasons as of 7th July 2014. The 5th Season is billed to premiere later this year, the returning cast and additional crew will be announced at later date.

Initially scheduled for summer 2014 (June), the season had to be pushed back due to an off-set injury to series star Sullivan Stapleton (Damian Scott).
TV/MoviesRe: True Detective Official Fan Thread by RayMcBlue(op): 5:27am On Jul 07, 2014
It could take place in Southern California.
Pizzolatto said in an interview with BuzzFeed's Kate Authur that he's “been reading about the last 40 years of Southern California government.” He also signaled that the show is leaving his home state of Louisiana: He said he hopes the new season “presents new characters in a new place with authenticity and resonance and an authorial voice consistent with this season. Dominant colors will change. South Louisiana was green and burnished gold.”

‘True Detective’ Season 2: What I Know So Far

https://p1cdn01.thewrap.com/images/2014/03/true-detective-618x400.jpg

The next season of “True Detective” will be about “hard women, bad men and the secret occult history of the United States transportation system,” says series creator Nic Pizzolatto.


Matthew McConaughey won't be back.
The show was always intended as an anthology with a new story each season. The surprise survival of both Rust Cohle and Marty Hart at the end of Season One suggested at least one could return, someday. But McConaughey has said he never planned to stay beyond one season.

Episode 8 Recap: Season Finale

The scarred killer is shown in his home, a large, messy house. He lives and has sex with his mentally challenged half-sister, spouts his philosophies in a variety of voices and accents, and keeps his father in a shed out back which is covered in arcane paintings. His father is chained to a bed, gaunt and barely living with his mouth sewn shut. He is also shown painting a school building, where he watches two girls spinning in circles and uneasily makes eye contact with a young
boy.

Cohle and Hart interrogate Geraci, getting him to talk by showing him the cultists' tape of the Fontenot sacrifice. They learn that the sheriff at the time of Fontenot's disappearance was named Childress, and covered up her disappearance. They hit another dead end in the investigation, until Hart notes the significance of the Erath "spaghetti monster"'s green ears, and the possibility that the green may have come from paint. Searching through photos they took in 1995 while trying to find Marie Fontenot, they find one home that was painted green by a small business called "Childress and Son", which employed a man with scars on his face.

Driving to the home of William Childress, the owner of the business, Cohle instinctively recognizes it as the home of their killer. Errol Childress, the scarred man, flees and is pursued by Cohle into a large overgrown labyrinthine structure in the woods - Carcosa. Hart bursts into the home and corners Childress' half-sister, and forces her to show him where their telephone is located, as there is no cell phone service in the area.

In the innermost chamber of Carcosa, and after observing several dozen corpses in various states of decay, Cohle hallucinates (or really sees) a spiraling vortex on the ceiling, similar to the black spiral symbol used by the Tuttle family and their followers. Suddenly he is attacked by Childress, who stabs him in the stomach and lifts him off of the ground. Cohle manages to headbutt Errol, and in doing so frees himself. Hart arrives and shoots Errol, wounding him but not enough to keep the serial killer from throwing a hatchet into Hart's chest. As Errol is about to deliver a death blow to Hart with the hatchet, Cohle shoots Childress in the head, killing him.

Papania and Gilbough, who were called to the scene by Hart, arrive with backup and find the half-sister handcuffed in the house, and Hart clinging to the unconscious, critically wounded Cohle, in Carcosa. After a long stay in the hospital, both men manage to recover from their wounds. The police have been able to find enough evidence to connect Errol to the murder of Dora Lange and dozens of others, including the modern day murders. However, they are unable to find anything linking Errol and Carcosa to the Tuttles, who escape prosecution.

Hart and Cohle accept that they'll never catch the rest, but that they still got their man. Hart sees his whole family for the first time in years and breaks down in tears. Hart wheels Cohle out of the hospital one night and they talk in the parking lot. Cohle reveals that when he was comatose, he felt the presence of his daughter and father, and has come out of the experience with a significantly more hopeful outlook on life. Cohle describes a universal battle between light and dark. Based on the night sky, Hart notes that the dark has much more territory. Cohle responds, "Once there was only dark. You ask me, the light's winning." The two leave the hospital together.
TV/MoviesRe: 24, Season 9: Jack Is Back! by RayMcBlue(m):
Agbogashi: Someone should please please link me to another tv series like 24. I'm really a fan...
Strike Back: More actioned packed than 24. The protagonists: 2 British agents - One English and one American - constantly find themselves in precarious situation as they combat various acts of terrorism. Very explosive and laced with red hot machismo. The action never stops. Each season takes place in a different City in a different country. Currently has 4 seasons.
[url=http://www.fztvseries.mobi/subfolder-Strike%20Back.htm]Link[/url]

The Unit: Action packed and walks one through the lives of the members of top-secret military unit, as they consistently undertake top secret missions in hostile territories, knock heads with their superiors (the Pentagon) and tries to combat their personal lives all at once. 4 seasons available.
Link

Homeland: Probably the most realistic political thriller out there... and probably the best. A young CIA analyst with bipolar disorder tries to foil an enormous terror attack on the the United States home soil by a terrorism kingpin with a grudge. Currently has 3 seasons.

Episode 7 Recap
In 2012, Cohle prods a disinclined Hart to assist him in finding the man with the facial scars by reminding Hart that he, in addition to Cohle, owes a moral debt for what actually took place in 1995. He takes Hart to a self storage facility where he convinces him of the existence of a cult that mixes elements of the courir de Mardi Gras, santería and voudon in its rites and shows him evidence he has compiled linking Tuttle and possibly others in the disappearances of dozens of women and children going back to the 1980s.

Cohle admits burgling Tuttle's homes to obtain proof of his complicity, including photographs and a videotape of the ritualistic sacrifice of Marie Fontenot years ago.
However he denies killing Tuttle, speculating that others believed Tuttle was going to be blackmailed over the videotape and killed him to prevent it.

Hart finds a Ledoux relative who confirms that Reggie and DeWall were connected to the man with scars, and
locates a former domestic who worked for Tuttle's father Sam when they still lived in Vermilion Parish. She recalls a scarred boy who was one of Sam Tuttle's illegitimate grandchildren from his "other" family, named Childress. Hart also discovers that the Vermilion Parish deputy originally handling the Fontenot disappearance was Hart's old friend (and Cohle's antagonist) Steve Geraci, who concealed the fact in 1995 and has since gone on to become a parish sheriff.

Feeling out Geraci, Hart concludes that a coverup of Marie Fontenot's abduction was engineered by then-Vermilion Parish Sheriff Ted Childress. Hart and Cohle kidnap Geraci to coerce the details from him. Meanwhile, Gilbough and Papania are lost trying to locate a rural church Cohle mentioned in his interview and ask directions from a caretaker on a riding lawnmower in a parish cemetery. Impressed by his local knowledge, Papania nonetheless fails to notice his badly scarred lower face before driving away. The man thinks aloud: "My family's been here a long, long time."

Bravoosii: If anyone is being myopic right now it's you. Of all the great books written and songs sung, you mean you can actually pick one? Well, I don't know the type of books you read or music you listen to. Different strokes and all that. For me, it's impossible to have a favorite of the aforementioned likewise a GoT quote.
Surely when one could not pick out a favorite from all the quotes, songs, novels etc, teeming all over the place and very accessible thanks to the internet, then it becomes obvious that the person in question haven't dabbled enough into them.

People get inspired all the time by their favorite quotes, in fact, in most cases, it doubles as life philosophy. The same thing applies to favorite music and books. For example, I work out every morning with my personal best "Simply The Best" - Tina Turner blaring in my ears. Keeps me going and upbeat every time.

People that are indecisive of what they want are those who usually have difficulty picking out personal favs out of anything. When you've figured out exactly who you are/were, everything else would fall into place... that's just the way it is.

Episode 6 Recap
In 2002, Cohle investigates on his own a series of old missing persons cases, linking the victims to the Tuttle schools. He seeks out Theriot, who has since quit the ministry and become a drunk, to ask about Wellspring, a defunct foundation that financed the rural schools while Theriot was a seminarian at the college Tuttle established. Theriot claims that Wellspring covered up child molestation scandals and implies that he was intimidated into silence after being questioned in 1995.

Cohle tries to interview Kelly, Ledoux's surviving victim in 1995 and institutionalized with regressive catatonia, to ask her if a third man was involved with her abduction. She describes a giant man with scars, and begins screaming when Cohle asks about the man's face.

Despite being ordered to stop his investigations, Cohle meets with Tuttle, ostensibly seeking the names of former Wellspring employees but actually fishing for reactions from him. Tuttle complains to the department, misrepresenting the nature of the meeting. Cohle cites this as proof of Tuttle's culpability, but is suspended from duty anyway.

Hart runs into Beth, a former underage prostitute he interviewed during the Dora Langea investigation, and starts an affair with her. A suspicious Maggie checks Hart's cell and finds a picture of Beth. Maggie then goes to Cohle's apartment and seduces him; Cohle, disgusted and infuriated when she tells him she had sex to get rid of Hart, kicks her out. Maggie tells Hart anyway, who attacks Cohle in the department parking lot. Cohle quits immediately after.

_____________________________________________________

In 2012, Papania and Gilbough interview Maggie, now remarried. She is scornful of their motives and denies that the divorce from Hart had anything to do with Cohle. Asked to characterize Cohle, she describes him as a good man with integrity. Hart abruptly walks out on his interview when Papania and Gilbrough again suggest that Cohle may have killed Tuttle in 2010 and been responsible for all the other murders.

Cohle follows Hart and initiates their first contact since the fight. Cohle asks Hart to buy him a beer, saying they
should talk, to which Hart agrees, but after Cohle turns
away, arms himself with a revolver.

Bravoosii: Are you kidding me?! This is just like asking for a favorite song or movie or book. You CANNOT have a favorite Game of Thrones quote.
Don't be myopic. People do have personal favs in everything known to man, be it dogs, foods, novels, hotels, Movies, TV series, and quotes. There is always something out of a common group that stands out for someone to pick and keep.

Take for instance, I do have a favorite song, movie, book and GOT quote:

That wasn't my intention at all. You're entitled to your own preferences just like I'm entitled to mine. Remember, this argument started as a result of your telling the other lady that she may be alone in her opinion of the show, or have you forgotten? Well, she's not.
TV/MoviesRe: Teen Wolf Official Thread by RayMcBlue(m):
@mr.drizzy: Like I said earlier, I would have liked Teen Wolf had it been I were 5 years younger. There's no denying the fact it's an exciting series... for young adults. It's something that I can watch in idle amusement to pass the time as I wait for something better... just like I does with Tom and Jerry Cartoon series or the Simpsons.

Forgive me for saying this but I can't help but look down on any programme, be it feature film or TV shows that originates from the CW and MTV. You see, these 2 channels strictly targets teen audience, most especially the CW.

What is the CW? It's a teen Channel that was formed from the stables of Times Warner group (Owners of NBC, Universal Inc, MTV, Walt Disney Inc and Nickelodeon) and CBS. The channel's main aim is produce shows that can satisfy young adults. Shows like the Originals, Reigns, Beauty and the Beast, and Arrow are not something one can watch and pick some memorable quotes from. The writers are not as well paid as their counterparts that writes for adult channels like HBO, Showtime, Netflix and FX.

Ever wondered why a show - even the CW's Supernatural - from the CW and MTV has never won the prestigious Emmy and Golden Globe awards but usually walks home with the kiddies Choice awards? Ever wondered why? Mull on that.

A show with no memorable quotes, no profanities, no crass humour, no nudîty, and too many CGI's to cover up other shortcomings doesn't interest me at all. I can watch it, sure, but it's not something I can open up a fan page and gush about.

I got no beef with you boy. Obviously, you're a teenager, I don't argue or exchange words with teens, I got standards, you know?
TV/MoviesRe: True Blood Fans (discussion Board) by RayMcBlue(m): 11:40am On Jul 05, 2014
Oh Yeah, Sookie's a bonafide whôre. I mean, that gal got the hots for anything supernatural. She had slept with 3 Vamps: Bill, Eric, Marlo, and a werewolf and current boyfriend Alcide Herveaux (I hope I got the spelling right). Jason's not the only hôrny sod in the family after all.

And she's a big hypocrite too to cap it all. I think on further reflection, my beef with the series is not as much as my disgust with Sookie's sex life which is appalling to say the least and paints a bad image for the show, seeing that she's the principal character. I think she may be retârded or something cuz she's seriously flawed... and in a bad way.

It would served the show's ratings better if the show runners eventually kill her off later in the course of 7th season, maybe and only then will I reevaluate my opinion on the matter.
TV/MoviesRe: Teen Wolf Official Thread by RayMcBlue(m):
Psychodavidovic: You don't outgrow what you really like.
Yes, you do. Take for instance, I used to love Vampire Dairies in it's early days, but after discovering the much more matured 'Being Human' - basically another vampire-werewolf themed TV show, but was specifically made for matured audience, much like True Blood - I couldn't help but realized that the storytelling, delivery and acting in the former was tad childish in comparison... and a little too fantastic and preposterous for any matured taste out there.

I'm sure I would have liked Teen Wolf had I being 5 years younger and unexposed to the sheer qualities of True Blood, Penny Dreadful and Being Human, but alas, I'd tasted the forbidden fruit and seen things, things that had forever modified and improved my expectations and standards, and now... I can't go back.

Episode 5 Recap
In 1995, Ginger and Cohle (still undercover) meet with DeWall Ledoux, Reggie's cousin and cook partner, in a roadside bar. DeWall refuses to do a drug deal with Cohle, but after DeWall leaves, Hart follows him. Hart radios his location to Cohle and the pair meet up near the hidden meth lab in the bayou, where Cohle leads the way through brush, avoiding hidden explosive booby traps rigged to kill unwary intruders.

The pair descend on the house where Hart apprehends Reggie and handcuffs him. Cohle draws down on DeWall, who has just stepped out of the meth lab, as Hart is searching the premises, coming across two kidnapped and abused children, one of them dead. Enraged, Hart executes Reggie Ledoux with a shot to the head. DeWall panics and flees but is killed when he detonates one of the booby traps. Hart removes the handcuffs from the dead Ledoux, and Cohle sprays the yard with bullets from an AK to give the appearance that a shootout had taken place.

In their 2012 interviews (voiced over the actual events) and later before a shooting board, the pair separately relate identical concocted stories of surviving a chaotic
firefight in which Hart managed to kill Ledoux. Hart and
Cohle are hailed back at the station and in the press as
heroes, with both receiving commendations and
promotions.

_____________________________________________________

By 2002, Hart is reconciled with his wife and kids, while Cohle has a physician girlfriend. Hart's daughter Audrey has begun acting out and tensions rise once again in the household. Cohle, a renowned interrogator, is brought in to get a confession out of a robber accused of murdering two people in a store while high on PCP. After confessing, the prisoner begs for a deal from Cohle, declaring that Ledoux wasn't the killer of the missing girls--the real killer was never caught and is still killing. He claims he himself met the "Yellow King," information withheld from the public in the Dora Lange case, and that people high up know about the killer. Cohle beats the man, demanding "a name," but is restrained by other detectives.

He returns later with Hart to find that the prisoner has killed himself in his cell after receiving a phone call (purportedly from his lawyer) made from a public pay phone out in the middle of nowhere. Cohle returns to the abandoned religious school, where he find dozens of stick sculptures, and drawings and black stars on the walls.

_____________________________________________________

[color=#009900]In 2012, Papania and Gilbough tell Hart that they suspect that Cohle, who they allege conveniently led Hart to every clue or lead in the case, has been behind the killings all along; Cohle has been spotted among the bystanders at the scene of the recent killing in Lake Charles that is similar to the Dora Lange case.

Cohle has also been a person of interest in the suspicious death of Reverend Tuttle two years before. Cohle walks out of his interview after the detectives
accuse him, ridiculing them to get a warrant, while Hart is asked in his interview to explain what exactly happened between him and Cohle in 2002.[/color]

Csami: Just because you didn't learn to love it doesn't make it less interesting. 6 according to you might be boring but at least it brought something interesting in the 7.
Sookie's now a complete whôre that can sleep with anybody that caught her fancy. I missed the Sookie of Season 1-4, at least, that version had some dignity apart from being a fang banger.

What's with the fairy tale concerning a certain Vampire goddess named Lilith anyway? Why did the show runners had to bring religious annotations into a series that doesn't really need one?

Season 5 and 6 are major failures IMHO and I wouldn't be suprise if the 7th season toes similar lines.

Psychodavidovic: Hide my face for liking a movie ? huh

You're taking it too serious man.
Point of correction, it's not a movie, rather it's a television fantasy drama series... made for kids.

To each his/her own, but any show that more than 90% of casts are supposedly teenagers doesn't interest me in the least. I used to enjoy shows like those, but I've outgrown them just I did with Cartoons and Animations.

I agreed with her. After forcing myself to finish season 6 albeit with a lot of skipping involved, I finally accepted the fact that HBO had finally succeeded in ruining what used to be one of the best Vampire series on TV. Now, I'd rather watch Being Human (US) or Penny Dreadful.
