Does this guy’s “classic dialogue” include the lines he ripped off from Alan Moore? (Specifically his brilliant Top Ten comic).
Lil’ Timmy is really committed to the “be a raging dickhead on kinja” bit, for whatever stupid/pathetic reason kinja trolls do kinja troll shit.
No I wouldn’t say that, I may be pretty smart but I definitely wouldn’t call everyone a ‘moron’. Why would you say something like that? It’s extremely rude and uncalled for.
Yeah, the main reason I’m skeptical is because we haven’t even come close to maxing out the current hardware on the Series X and PS5. If anything the Series S will likely be phased out.
Love that you started this conversation. Part of the appeal for me of Season 1 was that the *detective* story itself was kinda weak; the bigger message was a meta-commentary on detective stories (and so much else). Hell, even the title was part of that meta-commentary. Looking back on it, with NP’s reactions here,…
I mean, what more could they add to a Pro? RDNA 3? Zen 3? 2TB SSD? GDDR6 24GB? Somehow even faster load times (6GB/s + Read bandwidth?)
The fact that Lopez has taken any of that hilariously baroque season one dialogue and repurposed it should DELIGHT Pizzolatto.
Makes sense considering I just bought a PS5 not too long ago. You’re welcome everyone else.
It was better for the industry when they tried to maintain some mystique and keep some things behind the curtain. Being this petulant - esp when you’re making money off it anyway - just looks immature.
This man is celebrated for 1 season of television; he wasn’t a better writer in season 1 than he was for seasons 2 or 3. The difference was 1) 2 strong performers who really gelled with the material and each other and 2) a fantastic blend of direction, cinematography and production design that was not repeated in…
Seeing how many creators of smash/cult hits then crash and burn without doing anything of note afterward (Nic Pizzolatto! Marc Cherry! Mitch Hurwitz! Come on down!) begrudgingly makes me appreciate Chuck Lorre.
Thank you. Every single season so far has thrived by creating an atmosphere of lurking dread that’s a little occult in nature. Each season then undercuts that atmosphere with “reveals” near the season’s end.
Knowing this I stilll come back each time! That’s how much I love the vibes and take each season’s weaknesses…
Holy crap, no wonder my friends are telling me to watch seasons 1 and 4 but skip 2 and 3...
In Season 2, Pizzolatto literally wrote the line, “I will come back here and butt f*ck your dad with your mom’s headless corpse.” I think whatever mantle he held regarding quality or “classic dialogue” ended right there. Also, so much of what made season 1 what it was the acting and direction. Many of the ideas were…
Coming from Pizzolatto I’d say it’s probably half misogyny, half egomaniac showrunner/control freak.
For a show that coasted so much on *vibes* Pizzolatto sure has a high f’ing opinion of his own fun but stupid writing.
I can’t help wondering if there is some misogyny in this and a lot of other criticisms of the season. Honestly, it may be my favorite season of the show.
The people I know who are watching S4 don’t even know the creative team changed, they just know it got good again after 2 seasons they didn’t like. I tell them it’s a new creative team and they’re super surprised.
Good, and might I add, fuck this guy.
