Have only seen 2 episodes of season 1's True Detective, fck, I must really catch up on my quality TV

wp_rathead

Just heard about Hannibal

Was listening to Writers Podcast with Bryan Fuller and he said season 4 was gonna be Silence of the Lambs

Season 2 is my favourite season of Televison I've ever seen

Wouldn't put too much stock in that, really. A lot of the time in television that sort of stuff happens but they're barely involved in the actual day to day running or creativity element.

The extent of the two boys being executive producers might be a few meetings with the current actors and writers before production and that's it.

It is, but the end scene was really as far away from the first season as you could get. A real CSI kind of shot... seemed out of place. Some of it just doesn't sit right, a lot of sweeping shots seem to be trying to replicate season 1 but don't actually have any bearing on the story or setting, where as in season 1 they had everything to do with it, especially due to Rust's hallucinations and dour look on the world and people.

Is it directed by the same person(s)?

Cary Fukunaga directed all Season 1. Justin Lin directed the 1st episode of 2. He's directed some of the Fast and the Furious films and the next Star Trek.

i had forgotten how good the the writing was in season one, this seasons first episode probably doesnt have the same strength of characters, but the dialogue and execution is still excellent. Not at all sold on vince vaughans character yet.... scary mob boss, nah... gangster with a heart.... nah.

taylor kitchs character is intriguing though

Anyone watch True Detective last night? Wasn't blown away by it to be honest... I'm a massive fan of season 1, probably one my favourite TV shows, and whilst I know the 2nd season is supposed to be totally different it just doesn't seem to be the same quality.... Hopefully it'll pick up. Colin Farrell is very good in it though.

Farrell was very good. It doesn't start as well as season 1 but it was a very strong start and set things up fairly well

errlloyd

Watching it right now (college life is hard). I feel it's been rushed.

The first season was tough going, but season two was great

to be fair this season has been a bit meh...it's quickly disappearing up its own arse

Not impressed with true detective series 2 opener either.

Yeah I'm certainly disappointed but I'm not surprised. Out of the people I've tried to get into it, only a handful ever have so it seems to be a bit marmite.

Thought season 2 was absolutely fantastic.

At least it frees up Mads Mikkelsen for a certain.... "character" on a "certain" Fantasy tv show.

You won't go wrong with King Sitric or Aqua but you'll pay!

I like the Oar House (maybe oar room - always get the name wrong) on the pier in Howth too. Tasty calamari.

Some really nice places in Howth; East, Deep, King Sitric etc

In town it's a little trickier, and it depends what you're looking for! Fish Shop of Blackrock have opened a place in Smithfield.

Can anyone recommend a good seafood joint in Dublin? Is it worth it to pop out to Howth?

Saw Birdman tonight. Absolutely no idea what that film was about.

One of the most pretentious, pointless films ever made that presumably will appeal only to super arty people who like the surreal.

Really? Myself and MolloyJH went to see it last night and both he and his beard loved it!

Ok. This really is the last one.

I would have to agree with that whole heartedly, gave up half way through watching it, complete drivel!

Watched Jurassic World last night...script is awful but I do loves me some dinosaurs eating and fighting. Loved it.

Pretty much. Good CGI and fight scenes but the story was laugh out loud ridiculous. I can imagine how the writers came up with ways to keep the story moving.

"The giant, killer dino is going on a rampage but we need to squeeze 2 hours out of the movie. Ok, when they try to take it down, lets send in just a few guys....on foot....armed only with tazers".

I thought of it as basically a bit of theatre on screen. All the scenes played out in one capture with all characters visible

Thought it was pretty straightforward. Did well at box office so definitely appealed to a good few people.

Not a particularly convoluted storyline and a host of big names starring. Ageing actor trying to make a comeback. Simple enough. The surreal hallucinations are the only "arty" things in it, really.

It's very overrated, though.

Lighter but not necessarily better. Good quality aluminium > bad quality carbon forks.

You defo want second hand?

I think so yeah, depending on my meds and body, in 12 months time I may not be able to cycle, so I'm unwilling to lay out big money.
Edit:
Is there any one or two bikes I should keep an eye out for, something that would be regarded as a good bike in most people's opinion.
I know Giant are popular, but surely not every Giant bike is good?

I see some bikes are claiming to have carbon forks and such, I'm presuming that would be better than a complete aluminum frame?

Most low end Road bikes are aluminium frame with a carbon fork these days.
