‘TRUE DETECTIVE’ producer says they’re “DIGGING DEEP” to get Season 2 done

True Detective.

Looks like the second season of True Detective is going to be the product of intense madness and dedication. I know I’ve said this before, but I’m going to say it again. Because I come from a long line of people who lose their minds and repeat their senile blatherings. You’ll know I’ve truly lost it when you find me uttering much like my Nana did, “IS CAT FOOD MADE *FOR* CATS, OR *OF* CATS?!” while wearing nothing but evidence for the effects of gravity on the human body. For now, yeah, I’m just going to repeat this: I don’t envy the people involved in following up the first season of True Detective.

Howard Stark totally in Marvel’s ‘AGENT CARTER’ TV series

Howard Stark.

File this shit under: Makes Total Sense. Howard Stark is one of the co-creators of S.H.I.E.L.D. (what?) along with Peggy Carter. So it stands to reason that Mr. Stark shall be appearing on the Agent’s upcoming television show.

Matthew McConaughey “open” to more ‘TRUE DETECTIVE.’ BRO DON’T DO IT.

Rust Cohle

Matthew McConaughey has said that he’d be up for doing more True Detective. A factoid uttered from his gorgeous mouth that contradicts pretty much everything he said in the press while the show was airing. My two worthless cents? No thanks. Cohle is one of my favorite characters in TV history, and he established his vice-like grip on my heart in a taut eight episodes. As much as I’d like to see his glorious shitstache and gaunt cheek bones one more time, his return would run contrary to so much of what made the show so fucking wonderful in the first place. Let the wonderful coda the season ended on remain its coda.

Darren Aronofsky adapting ‘MaddAddam’ book trilogy for HBO

Darren Aronofsky

Darren Aronofsky is taking his talents to television! Which these days seems to be the sexier place for narrative exploration for many creative types. Better yet, Aronofsky adapting a dystopian book trilogy by Margaret Atwood? Sign me the fuck up. TV is the NEW CINEMA, and our Ocular Globes are reaping the benefits.

‘TRUE DETECTIVE’ SEASON 2 to have three leads, explore the “PSYCHOSPHERE’

True Detective

Well, I’m glad that True Detective‘s second season doesn’t seem any less bonkers than its first. In addition to letting us know the show will have three leads, creator Nic Pizzolatto has revealed the show is exploring the Psychosphere of California. I have no idea what the fuck this means, but killer. Gnarly.

TARANTINO wants to CUT ‘DJANGO UNCHAINED’ into extended miniseries.

New Django posters in the house.

As much as I loved Django Unchained, it was not without its pacing problems. Primarily like, the last hour or whatever the fuck. So if Quentin Tarantino wants to go back and fatten her up, I’m game. The idea that he would want to split it up into a miniseries? Intriguing.
