True Detective

[Rdeezy]

Awesome insights man so glad you loved the ending, as did I. I however didnt see Rust's experience as a him seeing the light and knowing theres an afterlife. I saw it as Rust finally being able to FEEL after so many years of nothing specifically his daughters love.

I honestly feel like anyone who waited to watch this show will miss out on the week to week discussions and insight it brought and not get the entire full experience. There was just so much going on every week, it helped to talk everything through. Things like Rust's Synesthesia and understanding what that was and how that was affecting him episode to episode etc.

But you should really check out the interviews with the director and writer that were done after the show aired because it will explain a ton about Rust and Errol and the way their stories intertwine and all the intricacies and psychological stuff in a way that really makes you see things differently.

I actually agree with this sentiment which is what I was getting at with the bolded part.

What a phenomenal ending. I know that some people thought it too tidy, but the beauty of it lies in the simplicity. There are so many different nuances and layers to the show, and it takes your mind in a million different directions. Surreal aspects like the Lovecraftian references and Rust's hallucinations let your imagination run wild with possibilities that all of this might not be as "grounded" as we think, visual cues and red herrings like Marty and the Pasta are used to empower our cynical side; what if it is all darkness? What if this force has corrupted the guys we're supposed to be rooting for, but, what I love about the finale is that it cements our role as Rust.

He's our perspective character. I've made no secret of how relatable I found him, but, when we look at our lives, we all have the same feelings that Rust has, at some point or another. We're infected by rationalization, doubt, and cynicism, and uncertainty; we're uncertain of our importance, out existence, our role in the universe, and it will always be ambiguous, but, and maybe I'm wrong here, as I said, the beauty lies in the simplicity of it; light versus dark. We can choose to let those feelings consume us, or we can choose a different path. That warmth that Rust felt; his daughter's love, again. You could choose to look at it as "Rustin Cohle" finally seeing the light and knowing that there's more than this life, or you could see it as a reignited faith in life. After everything he's been through, after all of the cynicism; you see that Rust has hope in his existence, for the first time since the show's started; he chooses to embrace the light, and cast out the darkness.

I've talked non-stop about this, but I can't help it. True Detective is unlike anything I've ever seen before, and I question whether I'll see anything like it ever again. Not to mention, it features what I feel are two of the best performances of the respective leads' careers; film or otherwise.

It probably could've been a bit more clearly state on my end.

Believe me, I would've loved to, if I could've, but I didn't have the resources to do so at my disposal, during the original airing, and there was no way I was spoiling this one for myself. I'll definitely be on board for season 2, though!

Thanks for that, Rdeezy, and I feel that the Pizzolatto interviews better articulated what I was trying to say, in that people could interpret the ending as some sort of "afterlife" thing (as one of the interviewers referenced), but that, it's mostly about "a reignited faith in life," as I said. As Pizzolatto said, for the first time, we're seeing a shred of optimism from a man who didn't believe in anything. I think that sort of ending is beautiful, and, in a way, I think that's the grand twist: that the "apocalyptic conclusion," as HBO put it in their synopsis, ended on such a subtle and uplifting note.

 

[Rdeezy]

Love the way Pizzolatto says Rust's quote isnt sentimental or illusion but based on scientific fact, as the universe was once only darkness, light came after. I think it depends on your religious views, but some who are religious ive seen posting about the finale said it was a religious conversion, they're so far off. People seem to be projecting their views into the scene. It would have totally went against Rust's nature and ruined the show if that'd actually happened.

Wish someone made licensed versions. Customs are ridiculously priced.

Not for our versions, they're no more expensive than any other custom figure, probably even cheaper if you just want certain pieces. If HBO were to do TD figures, which im not sure they would, but if they did, they would probably get Trevor to do the sculpts as they did for BrBa officially licensed figures, but the tailoring of the outfits wouldnt be near the level of Yunsil's.

Yep. I am somewhat religious, but I don't think that ending should be pigeonholed into that "afterlife" category. At the end of the day, I chalk it up to what Pizzolatto said about "everyone's got a story." He's spent his entire life convincing himself that life is meaningless, and, I think coming face to face with that sort of evil; with death; allowed him to realize that maybe his story doesn't have to be so bleak. It was a nice ending, but I actually hope that Pizzolatto follows through on the idea of possibly revisiting the characters in literary form.

Naturally, there's going to be some discrepancy between limited, hand made items and large, factory manufactured products. Mass production=cheaper pricing; that's a given, but, I think if you judge the customs the way they're supposed to be judged; against other customs; you'll find that they're actually on the more reasonable end.

Trevor's sculpt is incredible, but I feel that, depending on the paint job, the sculpt could look very different. I think that, when compared with some of Trevor's other sculpts, this one is fantastic, but the details, while present, are a bit more subtle. It's actually kind of interesting because I think McConaughey's one of those likenesses that's perfect for Trevor's more defined sculpts; he's got a lot of very defined features; cheekbones, sunken in cheeks, etc. I think your brother's got it down, but it's going to be interesting to see the varying paint jobs and how they accentuate some of those subtler details.

Just wait till you see this in hand Batfan, Trev totally captured Rust, I can assure you all the details are present.I think some are used to the super defined details of his earlier sculpts, his newer sculpts (Rust, Mal, new Walt) are much more subtlety defined. I think this pic of Rust captures all the details.

 

[Rdeezy]

I also sent my personal cast from Trev, to Silent Surfer, so youll get to see his interpretation of Rust very soon.

 

[batfan08]

Yeah, that is probably my favorite shot from the untainted sculpt. I can't wait to see Nathan's paint job.

Nic Pizzolatto said this on a podcast;

“Right now, we’re working with three leads. It takes place in California. Not Los Angeles, but some of the lesser known venues of California and we’re going to try to capture a certain psychosphere ambience of the place, much like we did with season one.”

Pizzolatto also reiterated that all of the characters are new, but added that the entire season is now broken out, he has a couple of scripts, “and we’ll probably start casting within the coming month.”
As we previously reported, Jessica Chastain won’t be in the cast, but I’m sure there are plenty of other talented actors clamoring to be part of HBO’s acclaimed series. It’s worth noting that HBO hasn’t officially renewed the show for a second season, but that’s a formality at this point. Presumably, they’re waiting to make the announcement until the cast is in place.

Is the Blu-Ray set out yet?

 

[batfan08]

Yep, it came out Tuesday.

Oh cool. Need to run to a best buy and pick it up.

 

[batfan08]

Target has it for $30, I think that's the best I've found. However, you could see if Best Buy will price match, if they have it.
