New interview with Matthew McConaughey from today, where he confirms what @obarth and myself said about Rust:

Hopefully this clears it up once and for all for the people that thought the character magically changed by fukking Maggie. :manny:

I dunno what predictions you read but I haven't said much about this show in terms of :ohhh:"I bet this happens!". You could've just taken my post about Lovecraft or Chambers word for word and had your whole job like :krs:

And I dunno why you'd look stupid if you said "this might happen", anyway.

Now, if you went into the conversation on some "I guarantee it'll unfold like this" and then broke down wallpapers and what color dress a character was wearing, then :manny: that's on you.

Only complaint/issue I have with lawnmower man is that in both his appearances, he's on a lawnmower. Like they didn't have anything else to make you remember him from his first appearance, so they just put on him on a lawnmower again. The evil cultist, mass murdering rapist, who spends his spare time on a lawnmower mowing various lawns.

Episode 3. 48mn in. They're interviewing Rianne Olivier's grandfather. He gives them some background on ledoux and his family. (great acting by the grandfather by the way. great great acting). In the car ride back, Rust realizes the school is a part of the Tuttle Foundation. The very next scene cuts to a guy on a lawnmower. As Rust is talking to him, he mentions he had only been coming there for the last few months. That is his job. He was hired by the Parrish. The dude says, "Andrew blew it out. Guess they didn't think it was worth cleaning up. My immediate thought was, "So why the fukk would they hire a grounds keepers for a school that isn't worth cleaning up and has been closed for 3 yrs? Then after the episode ends, "I'm like wait hasn't Reggie Ledoux only been out for a couple of months and that guys has been hired for that long as well?"

It may sound like a lucky guess, but if you follow the "feeling" of the entire episode, the director is leading you to a suspect. The first one was the church with the special needs suspect.

Also, the way the scene is shot, you get the "feeling" that the scene is important. At that point, every person introduced to the story played a role in some shape form or fashion. There are no throwaway scenes in this show.

What's actually amazing looking back on that scene, is Rust does have a lot of time to size him up. In fact, at the beginning of the episode, Rust and Marty put out an APB for a "tall guy with scars on his face." The sun is beaming in the guys face, so the scars are actually noticeable. But Rust is busy looking into the sun and looking at the school. What is throwing them off is that stupid fukkn picture. The green shyts on his ears are obviously noise canceling headphones like someone on a runway would use.

Ahhh for the lawnmower.

When Matthew McConaughey was preparing for the psychedelically complex character he plays in HBO's twisted, acclaimed True Detective (the final episode airs on Sunday), he made a monster document to help him find his way. The show spans 17 years, during which time Rustin "Rust" Cohle variously exists as a sober, hyperanalytical homicide detective, a coke-and-meth-fueled undercover agent he calls "Crash" and a troubled, alcoholic ex-cop. "I just basically broke it down and made a 450-page graph of where Cohle was and where he was coming from," McConaughey says, flipping through the document until he gets to part he's looking for.

Here, in McConaughey's own words, are the "Four Stages of Rustin Cohle":

1995 Cohle"Back to being a part of the body. He's coming off of years being Crash. He's trying to walk the line. Monk-like. Trying to hold it together. And that's a lot easier with less interaction with others. There's a mechanical side to him. He needs the regimen of the homicide detective. He needs the case to actually survive. One, because he's great at it. And two, because it's going to keep him from killing himself."


Crash"He's our deep, narco wild-ass. A guy who goes all the way. This is where Cohle has all the freedom. He can go over the edge as this guy. And inside, he loves the life of Crash even more, because the shackles are off of him. He knows he may die sooner living this life, but there's a freedom and peace in that knowledge for him."


2002 Cohle"A little looser mix of Crash and the '95 Cohle. A guy who's made his boundaries clear and has to mark less territory, so he's relaxed into his way in the world. But the case is still his lifeline. He has some small hope that there's going to be a way out of his being and pain and criticism, so he makes an effort into domesticity, a la the girlfriend. Only to prove that he was not made for it, and there is no way out. So what does he do? He resigns to his nature, once again."


2012 Cohle."This guy lived longer than he hoped. Fallen prey to his own beliefs. More cynical, angrier, he's had to endure the existence of this shytstorm called life. A little ragged, more rough edges, living in a place where he can manage himself. Not too close. He's not in the CID. But he's not in Alaska. He's a guy who's resigned to his indentured servitude of being alive. But he despises the sentence and the penance. He will not accept defeat. He's not going become a madman, he's not going to kill himself. He wrestles the devil every day, and he realizes that this may last a lot longer than he ever hoped for."

I've watched every episode at least 2 times. some more. Sometimes I just put the show on in the background while I'm studying. I love it that much.
