His name is an anagram for ‘bad killer’, and this movie sounds gloriously terrible enough that that might actually be deliberate.

“It’s a big ol’ sea out there, and a long fishin’ trip. I reckon it’ll be easy to lose a guy in ten days.”

49-year old Matthew McConaughey’s high-school sweetheart, 36-year old Anne Hathaway. Oh Hollywood, never change.

I often wish the media would adopt this sort of policy:

Man I do not want to spend money on this new book but I can’t wait for all of the write ups on it.  

Hasn’t this been an open secret for years now?

That line was actually spoken by the Purcell father to West when he goes to visit in the 90's timeline, which would certainly add up, since they’ve made such a point of mentioning that Woodard has kids.

LOL

I’m a girl, so all my life I have been told that my clothing sends messages to other people. If I wear a skirt that is a little too short or a shirt that shows a little too much cleavage, I am apparently communicating that I consent to being groped or worse.

They know exactly what it means, and they attempt to gaslight everyone (because they are stupid enough to think it works).

It really was a beautiful little scene. Between Dorff’s barely concealed little smirk and Ali’s uncomfortable shifting from playful bitterness to mildly drunken aggressiveness to bashful acceptance with shades of all in between. It even had a dick joke that made me laugh. The interplay between partners is by far my…

Are they going to get that search warrant for the big house in the woods?

I was surprised last week to see Dorff was so prominently featured, but this seems to be a role he’s more than capable of handling.

Walgreens has been around since before prohibition. Scripts for alcohol during prohibition is what allowed them to build their empire. I think they went from like 20 stores to 500 stores during prohibition.

I got distracted during that scene in the car because I was looking up Walgreen’s history (Couldn’t determine if they had a footprint in Arkansas in the 80's, but convenient that their logo has remained essentially unchanged since the 50's.)

Poor Brett Woodard, not only a victim of the war, but of the regional racism of the time, and further alienation that will probably result in him snapping.

I think what really makes this episode work for me — besides all the unraveling of the case and the uncovering of further clues — was the coup de grâce of seeing Hayes and Roland getting the band back together in 1990 to end the episode.

It would be quite bizarre if Lucy’s body were in that bag, since we already know her prints turn up ten years later. I’m assuming weaponry in there plays a part in the 1980 investigation getting FUBAR.

Ahh, this is where many get frustrated with the True Detective series because, it is a procedural, it can be creepy and lurid, but a procedural. But I have to differ with Emily’s take on the children and omissions.

OMG please ask me! I’ll insist your kid stop looking so shitty cuz it’ll just take a second, tell everyone to say MONEYYYY!!!!! like a doofus, and frame the shot without all of that weird headspace people (like my dad *cough*) leave. I love taking strangers’ pictures, I just realized that.
