Remember that when Clinton got into office the first thing he asked for were the files on JFK and UFOs. If you play the American Game of Thrones I think you have to have an interest in RI themes, in the same way a plumber has to be interested in pipes.brekin » Tue Feb 25, 2014 1:46 pm wrote:Fourthbase wrote:Obama was into the Dark Knight, The Wire (fav character Omar Little), is a big House of Cards fan (asked for 2nd season advanced copies) and now it seems he's into the True Detective.
He's definitely a fan of RI themes. One has to wonder though,
Perhaps he's not just the RI theme president, but also a client?

Last fall I discovered a vast maze of structures built of fallen limbs in a patch of woods near where I live. At first it was interesting, but soon became puzzling and then as it went on and on and on somewhat frightening when it became apparent someone had to have spent months if not years gathering the materials and building this elaborate limb sculpture garden. I named the unknown sculptor "stickman", but I might have to rename him king of limbs. It's not easily accessible and so I haven't been back and you wouldn't know it was there unless you stumbled upon it as I did. I'll take some pictures this spring when I go back.IanEye » Mon Mar 10, 2014 9:15 am wrote:*

You should do a documentary short on the subject! Heck I would love to see a documentary/short from anyone who has ever been on RI.brainpanhandler » Mon Mar 10, 2014 11:15 am wrote:Last fall I discovered a vast maze of structures built of fallen limbs in a patch of woods near where I live.

I've not seen any of this series. The limb structure in the foreground to the character's left is very reminiscent of the sculptures in the woods. I am afraid to ask what's going on in that scene.
one of the best parts of watching "True Detective" is that it reacquainted me with a short story called "Sticks".brainpanhandler » Mon Mar 10, 2014 12:15 pm wrote:I named the unknown sculptor "stickman", but I might have to rename him king of limbs.IanEye » Mon Mar 10, 2014 9:15 am wrote:*

Yeah, I had that sinking feeling at the beginning but it managed to regroup during the aftermath of the killer chase. I WAS disappointed by the facile thriller tropes employed in the first half.Jerky » Mon Mar 10, 2014 9:08 am wrote:I was unimpressed with the finale until the two moments of emotional apotheosis, both of which rocked me to my core.

Conspiracy of Silence is probably the best intro to the case you can find.Luther Blissett » Mon Mar 10, 2014 12:08 pm wrote:I would like to link the True Detective subreddit to the Franklin Case today, because they displayed some quite adept investigative tics of their own in analyzing the show. I think some of them, now that the first season of a piece of media entertainment has ended, could be convinced to take on something real life that may have the power to potentially help someone.
Is there a single clean, well-presented, well-researched overview of the case that I could present as a gateway? I only know of the longer works or the more convoluted, complex, and (frankly) elitist overviews that almost seem set up to turn people away.
For a few years now I've been toying with the idea of trying my hand at video and this would be an interesting choice for a first effort.8bitagent » Mon Mar 10, 2014 11:37 am wrote:You should do a documentary short on the subject!
I think I'll go back in the daylight.That image is from the "Carcosa" maze complex the main killer creates leading to a sacrificial chamber.
