Important Serious Business question for Good Posting Judge, Tanner and anybody else who wants to chime in:

I just watched Ep 1 of True Detective, Season 2.

Does it get better?

Are all of the characters the cartoonish amalgamation of cliches that they seem to be?

As somebody who LOVED Season 1, should I just stop and pretend this never happened?
it's awful, so it never gets any better.

season 1 was awesome. season 2 is a dumpster fire.
Pretty much this.
Still don't hate it.
That's because you downloaded it illegally.
No I pay for my TV and movies and music like a grown up.

 
Officiated a wedding on Sunday for a couple good friends. Wore a suit, but also bought a stole off of amazon that had doves and flames on it because...awesome. I carried my notes around in an old bound book that looked bible-y but was actually Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Wedding went great, short and sweet and everyone had a lot of fun. Well, except for this guy that finally got lit up enough at the reception to come ask me about my religious affiliation because I was wearing the stole and holding a "bible" in one hand and a beer in the other. This progressed as all religious-y people interrogations go where I try and be respectful, but also answer his questions while he gets more angry and condescending. He eventually tells me he'll pray for me and I'm all like "cool, have a good one." He come back again later and grills me some more and makes sure I know he's the greatest christian ever or whatever and that he and his wife will be praying for me. She comes over later and makes sure to tell me she'll be praying for me as well. Again, I stayed respectful...friends' wedding and all, so I let it slide.

Here's where it gets neat. The wedding is at this large house rental. Has a couple out buildings like casa de Scupper at Hayward. There's a big long driveway and that was essentially the dance floor and where the DJ was setup for the reception

A little later SuperChristian guy pulls his massive pickup down the driveway to pick up an older guy (great uncle of the bride, superchristianwife is her aunt) to take home. There's probably 50-60 people on the dancefloor/driveway and I'm just off the driveway and I see he's coming in a little hot. So hot in fact that he nearly knocks down about 5 people. His bumper actually touches the mother of the groom who walks with the aid of those arm-brace-cane-deals. Brother of the groom is right there and is naturally angry and throws his plastic cup of beer on the hood/windshield of the truck. SC-guy leaps out of his truck and charges the whole crowd and ends up knocking down about 5-6 people like bowling pins.

I help break it up with many others -- I pick SG guy up off of the ground and say something to the tune of "cmon bro, this is a wedding" and he retorts with "BUT HE THREW A BEER ON MY TRUCK" apparently not realizing he almost killed people and that his beer covered truck will probably survive. I asked him what jebus would do -- wouldn't he turn the other cheek? And he was all "Yeah, I'm gonna turn the other cheek!" while puffing his chest. Anyway, lots of yelling back and forth and several of us trying to calm the main parties down and get this knob out of there, which we finally do. Couple of volunteer firefighters/emts were on hand to help guide him as he backed up and got out of the driveway.

Good times.

Yeah, tough call at a wedding. He definitely didn't make any friends there. Figured smoothing it over so the party could go on was the right play here. Someone did call the police and me and the best man met him at the end of the driveway and got him out of there too.

1. I've done 30-40 weddings and I've never had anyone question my personal religious beliefs like that. I've had people ask and I've just said "I'm actually a teacher but I've been ordained as a non-denominational minister...and that allows me to marry people in this state."

2. Did this guy really think it was a good idea to challenge you physically? With your size and the fact that you clearly have Jesus and/or Dracula on your side? WTF

Lot of liquid courage/stupidity I think...as evidenced by his live grand theft auto game about an hour later.

 
He approached me during the end of a 5-6 song live set that the groom and his band were doing which was mostly punk and included Against Me's "Black Me Out".

So, he's trying to talk religion while the groom is screaming "I wanna p1ss on the walls of your house" basically. Makes sense.

 
"Never do anything out of hunger. Even eat."

:lmao:
It's pretty much this all the way through. There's a lot of nonsense to cut through and it's not to really get anything except more nonsense.
So Enrico Palazzo, or whatever the creator's name is, just got lucky on the first season? Weird.
there are some good reasons for why it fell apart.

I posted an article somewhere that listed them all. will see if I can find.

I just watched Ep 1 of True Detective, Season 2.

Does it get better?

Are all of the characters the cartoonish amalgamation of cliches that they seem to be?

As somebody who LOVED Season 1, should I just stop and pretend this never happened?
it just gets worse. don't do it.

Yeah I think he caught lighting in a bottle with Wooderson and a director that did the whole thing and did a really good job.

And spent 5 years writing the first season vs what? 6 months writing season 2?

someone wrote season 2? I thought they just made up the dialog as they went along, just like the plot.

 
I have a friend from graduate school who I haven't seen for a long time, but from the looks of his Facebook account, he is going through a whale of a mid-life crisis/meltdown. I am trying to decide how much of it to share, because it is pretty mean to laugh at another person who is clearly going through the wringer, but damn, it is a sight to behold.

Sure, it's much more juvenile than taunting Demar DeRozan on Twitter.
