Most TV’s should have an audio setting that enhances voices, I use it on mine.

You're not wrong, RDH. Here's a random sampling of posts from OOTV's The Killing thread, written back when it was actually on AMC (looks like these posts are from the run-up to season 2):

and more veena sud delusion is always great. "everyone hated the finale of my show? well people hated the finale of the sopranos too, so it's flattering that they think my show is just as good as the sopranos"

I think The Killing writers are basically doing that to their viewers. It would amuse me if they continue dragging it out till the series finale.

I imagine the only people who bother posting about it anymore are those who pressed on undeterred and kept watching for some godforsaken reason.

In fact, looking through that thread again (ah, memories): while apparently I stopped watching shortly into season 3 and never kept up with it, I had a theory 3 episodes in to the season about who the killer was. It's spoiled below, it's full of idiotic logic, and it turned out to be 100% correct. That's how terrible this show is.

Sometimes its hard for writers to introduce the character that “did it” without following the formula for introducing such characters. My wife wont watch CSI type shows with me, because about 12 minutes in....tada.

if you make the killer an evil twin of one of the main characters then you can introduce her without anyone knowing youve even introduced her!

Because it's expensive to move, and because even if you could, it's hard to leave your family. People have roots.

Not to mention Flint is super cheap, so you might need to improve your circumstances to afford to live somewhere else. And getting a new job is hard.

I mean many of these folks just don't have the same options as others.

I watched The Place Beyond the Pines. The part where Ryan Gosling was a bank-robbing badass white trash ne'er-do-well was great. The Bradley Cooper angsty cop part not so much.

I really liked that movie. That music score and overall mood of the movie is great. Great performances all around. I can understand not liking the second half though.

1000%. I can’t think of another movie that I feel so split on:

First half: 12/10
Second half: 3/10

I have rewatched up until he dies numerous times.

I don't remember a movie making such a 90 degree turn like TPBTP did.

Wind River is on Netflix now, it's directed and written by the guy who wrote Sicario and Hell or High Water, and probably between those two in quality, which is to say it is also excellent. Insane that it got shut out from awards.

There's a reason more movies don't do what Pines did. Hey, let's spend 60 minutes telling a story about certain characters. OK now that story is over, here's a whole nother story that is only tangentially related. I turned the movie off like ten minutes into the second story.
