Burger night with friends. Beers. The Spongebob Squarepants Movie.

For some reason I didn't grow up with this cartoon. But I feel like I've missed out a lot. It's absurdly hilarious, and I need to start watching the series.

Can I just step in for a second and say I didn't even pay attention to this highly-debated drawing when I watched the episode?

I'm thinking there's some overthinking involved here. Not that it's a bad thing; I love healthy debates, as long as they do stay healthy (and I sense that the current debate might need to stop here in order to be kept that way).

Storytelling aside, I don't think it was an illogical process. Rust wanted to walk Marty through the whole thing. He'd have had to do it at some point anyway.

I just realized there's only one episode left. Holy shit. If the show delivers, it's gonna be one hell of an hour.

Still killing it on the not showing the monster. I believe in this.

This is something I've observed too: the way I see the two characters has changed a lot since the beginning. Marty was the slower-witted, down to earth counterpart to Rust. But he's collapsing. The beginning would have us believe this was a good cop/bad cop partnership, but it's now looking like the both roles have switched.

This episode was necessary, because I think we have now covered everything we needed to know pre-2012. We're still in a bit of a blur concerning Rust's activity between 2002 and 2012, but I think it'll unfold as we go forward with the story in 2012.

I think this episode shows something important about Marty's wife too. She was only a victim of Marty's wrongdoings before, but she's changed, and now she's surrendered to lies just as much as Marty and Rust have. I don't really see why she would lie to the cops about it though, so maybe there's more.

I watched the sequence at the grandpa's house again but no hint really came up. He does say "I've seen kids today, all in black, wearing makeup, shit on their faces. Everything's sex." at some point, but it's probably just foreshadowing (or it's nothing at all).

This is one of these shows where every detail is so carefully thought, I could easily end up over-interpreting everything.

Yeeeeeehup. There are many things going on but I don't fully understand them right now.

Also, some people on IMDB brought up something interesting:

Spoilers up to episode 5 Show
The whole thing going on with Marty's daughter. First the dolls, then the drawings, then the sex with two guys. Some argue that it's just character development with Marty's flawed fatherhood, and others think there is more to it. I tend to agree with the latter.

I'm a bit like your friend, except I can acknowledge when something's not a spoiler. Still, I like to hear as little as I can about a movie or TV show if I am to watch it. I want the story itself to show me everything, in its own time and manner.

There's something more to the interviews, I think. I get the feeling that the two cops are trying to understand the characters of Rust and Marty. Their mission might not be only to get material for the current crime investigation, but also to find out about the blurriest parts of what happened in 1995, and everything around it. They're particularly interested in Rust - his past, and what made him turn into the drunkard he is now. They ask themselves, several times, about Rust's relationship with his father. Marty's relationships don't seem irrelevant to them, either. It's a global thing.

Considering what he said in the items of lust thread, I think Teague is going to like this one.

During my week at the Short Movie International Festival in Clermont-Ferrand, I spent the evening in the workshop of a man called (quite literally translated) Dr. Fart. He's an artist who likes to build cool things out of scrap and stuff. And this guy built himself a Tesla coil, which he demonstrated to us.

So I filmed it with my phone, which went batshit insane trying to understand what the hell was going on, but you get the idea.

Warning: turn down the volume of your computer and/or Youtube before watching this. It's loud as hell.

This was beyond cool.

I just ordered this from Amazon.

It shows volumes in cups, milliliters and ounces, and also displays weights in grams and pounds.

I'm finally done banging my head against the wall each time I need to translate cups and ounces and pounds and stuff into the consistent metric system when using american recipes. For the life of me, I can't figure out how you guys still haven't blown up due to imperial units.

We have a thread like that on another forum. It's great to give ideas to people who like spending money. Make sure you attach an Amazon link when relevant. smile

I'm guessing some have already read it, but here's an article about the long take confirming the one used in the episode was done in a single shot, with some more interesting details: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/172200 … take.jhtml

The whole thing felt so natural I didn't even wonder how the hell they managed the fence bit.

I'd like to mention the opening credits are now my favorite ever.

Seriously, I could watch an hour of these. The music is a perfect choice and creates an amazing atmosphere. The effects used, especially with the characters' outlines, are very effective. The whole thing is incredible, and I'd make an awesome compositing exercise.

Huh. There's an idea. I need to talk with my Nuke teacher.

I'm so glad they pulled that off. I freakin' love sequence-shots. I haven't felt this deep into the action since Children of Men.

It's perfectly well executed, and so much is happening during this shot, it's crazy. No, Children of Men's car shot was crazy; this was insane. I really hope there'll be a BTS of this.

And let's not forget the rest of the episode, either. I thought it was really intense. It shows this world of violence and drugs in a very powerful way, as we're in it with Cohl. McConaughey keeps getting more and more awesome.
