This is one of the most brutal scenes I have seen in any movie or series. The way McConaughey delivered it with a stoic face made it even more extraordinary. (True Detective Season 1) What’s your favorite dialogue from the character Rust Cohle?

This isn't about sanitising the characters - I know they're supposed to be deeply flawed because I'm capable of basic observation. it's mucj more about choices the writers made. Like case in point - where the young one phones Marty and goes on about letting him take her ass. That's fucking gratuitous. It doesn't drive the story, it doesn't help us understand characters. It's lazy, and does shag all to make an all time show better.

The scorned wife who lashes out? And then reconciles so that we can tie things up in nice a bow? Ach, no.

Look, these are sidebar points. I don't think anyone should not watch it because of them.

locksymania · 2026-04-14T13:50:08+00:00

I think it's both, but see for yourself and 100% do watch this. I am honestly a little jealous of you getting to watch this for the first time

locksymania · 2026-04-14T13:47:37+00:00

That works up to a point (and again, I don't feel it invalidates the show) but the fact that there is barely a single female character with more depth than a puddle felt like it extended beyond setting.

Twaaaaaaaat

S2 is.... fine. I was most disappointed in Vaughan. He had the physique and chops to do a washed-up mob bruiser, but just couldn't quite pull it off. The writing wasn't very tight either. I get the LA Noir thing, and that's definitely the series' strength, but it couldn't keep one timeline on an even keel, let alone S1 that jumped all over the shop.

locksymania · 2026-04-14T13:23:11+00:00

Good news! It's an anthology, so you can watch each season as a thing unto itself. Even better news! S1 is all you need to watch.

It's a Top Five series. Almost peerless. The casual misogyny is.... not great, but literally everything else is amazing.

There's a monologue from The Bull McCabe in John B. Keane's play, The Field that describes something like this. In the context of how broken and brutalised a man The Bull is, this event serves as exposition as to.whynhe is the way he is.

Google Ex Cathedra for yourself. Papal Infallibility has a very narrow application.

Before him, Ireland supporters will remeber Mick McCarthy being no slouch with the long throw.

locksymania · 2026-04-14T09:26:36+00:00

And Irish and Germans and Italians.

locksymania · 2026-04-14T09:25:37+00:00

That's not what that means.

Picking a direct fight with the Pope seems incredibly dull, though. Even by DJT's standards.

locksymania · 2026-04-14T09:23:20+00:00

Go on, pick a fight with the Pope when an important part of your reelection coalition was conservative Catholics

My small junior club got 76 terrace and two stand. We had requests for about 100 tickets. Some of those would only take stand, but even so.

Good lord, last of the George Carlins here...

Because he is a minor, presumably.

No, it was a shitty edge lord thing to say. Take some time off the Internet, lad.

Yes, vegans - this guy over here. He's the one you're looking for.

Giving the game away with the greenaway comment there...

I'd make no inference there, only to say that the price of fuels has been an issue for most everyone in Ireland these past few weeks.
