I agree! That's how I felt when I first saw The Blair Witch Project. Wagner's story is a little classic; he apparently was the first writer to really wonder what all those sticks lashed together and seen in so many Lee Brown Coye illustrations, really meant.

Even though I have only seen random clips on the interwebs, I must say McConaughey's acting is absolutely brilliant. I can't remember the last time I was so mesmerized by an actor's portrayal of a character. Too bad I'm too broke at the moment to check the series out.

McConaughey is turning out to be a better actor than I'd ever anticipated him being. "Frailty" was when I first caught the scope of his talent, but it didn't get much of a distribution. Great movie based on a novel by Charles Brockden Brown which is excruciatingly monotonous but effective

I'm sure the majority of you are already familiar with all of the King in Yellow fiction out there, but Joe Pulver and I had a video interview where he talks about all things KiY, especially to clear up misconceptions that were stated in many of the big articles out there.

Episode 7. A good episode. It's back on the rails again. I don't want to underestimate Pizzolatto, but I'll be amazed when (if?) they tie this up satisfactorily in an hour long episode.
I'm hoping they pull it off.

Cohle is without doubt a darkly depressed, Schopenhaurian antinatalist. Just look at the clothes he wears: http://uk.eonline.com/eol_images/Ent...30114_copy.jpg

Nor will he back for more next season:
