Michael* Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Read the announcement as Taylor Swift. Now I'm oddly disappointed. Kitsch has been in some notoriously poor action movies, but that doesn't make him a bad actor. Some of the lesser parts he's played have been really quite good. As long as they put him in a role where he can do himself justice, I've no worries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of like her as well. And now you made me curious about Lone Survivor, though I've always been that about Taylor. He must be a good actor if a big studio like Disney had trust in him to give him the main role in their movie. But I believe you that those action movies are crap. But Taylor is... :wub2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkCouture Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 True Detective’s New Female Characters Are Not Very SurprisingWill True Detective ever cast a female character who's not a long-suffering wife, a prostitute, or a victim of unspeakable sexual horror? Maybe, but not this week: Deadline reports that four new recurring characters are close to joining the cast, including Mad Men's Abigail Spencer as "Alicia, the survivor of a sexual attack," and The Hunger Games' Leven Rambin as "Sophia, a beauty with a history of drug problems." More encouraging is the addition of Sherlock's Kelly Reilly, playing a character only described as "self-possessed." We'll take it! vulture.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SympathysSilhouette Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Big surprise there. The writer only has that kind of female characters in his novel as well.I think he might suffer from Frank-Miller-itis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll take it! vulture.com It wasnt the portrayal of women as victims which at least I found marginally distasteful in season 1. It was rather like shallow individuals. But to some extent I'm ok with that because the plot/setting itself was like that, concerned with ritualized violence, obscurantism/fanaticism. Women were there simply to depict, in an albeit ironic way, the contradictions of patriarchal society. In fact, there might even be emancipatory message between the lines like how fucked up patriarchal society really is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very doubtful if this patriarchal society still existing especially in Rich World. I think it has never really existed in so called "New Europe".But back to series if that rumors with Rachel McAdams are somehow confirmed??

Lyla Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 But back to series if that rumors with Rachel McAdams are somehow confirmed?? Just rumour yet, as far as I know... A source confirms to E! News that Black Box alum Kelly Reilly has landed a series regular role, and Almost Human's Michael Irby, Suits star Abigail Spencer and The Tomorrow People's Leven Rambin have all scored recurring roles.These four will join the previously reported True Detective season two stars Colin Farrell, Vince Vaughn and Kitsch, while Rachel McAdams is rumored to be near a deal to play the fourth and final lead role. Our source tell us both Reilly and Spencer were in contention for McAdams' lead role, but the network wanted to go with a more well-known name instead.

elfstone Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 http://www.freudoutloud.com/Judson Memorial Church and the award winning New Books in Psychoanalysis are pleased to announce a marathon reading of Sigmund Freud’s classic text, Civilization and Its Discontents. Everyone is invited.Few thinkers have looked so unflinchingly at human aggression as has the founder of psychoanalysis. While the guns of August still echoed and European Anti-Semitism grew rife, Freud wrote Civilization and Its Discontents, declaring: “Man is wolf to man. Who ... will have the courage to dispute this assertion?” The 21st century offers no disputation; slaughter reigns supreme: the massacres in Santa Barbara and Newtown, the killings in the Ukraine, Iraq, Gaza, Afghanistan, the racially motivated murders of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, the sexual assault of women on college campuses, the beheadings, the chokeholds, the drones, the endless violence. “In these days of darkness and violence, Civilization and Its Discontents allows us to greet the New Year with the hope it paradoxically inspires,” says the psychoanalyst and organizing committee member Muriel Dimen......According to Dale Peck, “…Civilization and Its Discontents reminds us that it’s sometimes necessary to step back and…realize that the problems we confront are symptoms of a tension that is as old as civilization itself, and unless we address the underlying condition, we will never cure the disease." “To read Civilization and its Discontents in 2015,” says Simon Critchley, “is to bear witness to the deadly violence whose daily presence is all-too-familiar to us and imagine the conditions that might provide a loving counterweight to that violence.” IDK Whoever came up with that but its a really fitting way to usher in the new year.

SympathysSilhouette Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Rachel McAdams looks good. I do hope they don't try to turn Colin Farrell's character into too much of a Rust-clone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael* Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 It's a real struggle to think of a more underrated actress working in Hollywood right now than McAdams, she's just spent far too long playing girlfriends and token females. In a project like this, I'm certain she'll kill it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SympathysSilhouette Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I liked her a lot in "A most wanted man". Even with the slightly silly accent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael* Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 If memory serves, the German accents were almost all hilarious in that. Although I quite enjoyed it overall. It's starting to feel like TD is becoming the place to be for actors looking to get their teeth into something a little more challenging. I could easily see McAdams stealing the show, Kitsch is a lot better than he's given credit for and Farrell can be good when he's on form. Vaughn seems like the wild card here, but what do I know, I thought the same thing about Matthew McConaughey once upon a time. One of the most impressive things about S1 was the atmosphere it was able to create, you could have cut it with a knife. I wonder if they'll be able to replicate that, or even if they'll try to, in what appears to be a fairly standard police procedural location.
