What's with Frank telling the waitress that someone murdered Velcoro? Talking to his dad there while unconscious. Always the standout art direction there. The waitress' face is messed too.
The scenes in the bar are outtakes from a scrapped David Lynch project. [Reply]
I'm just a regular swinging dick viewer, I'll leave the analysis to the cognoscenti. I want to like this series but so far the Vaughn scenes seem stilted, like he's trying instead of being. There are a lot of moving parts that I still will watch to see if they come together. Overall it just isn't flowing yet. Maybe MM's amazing character colored it for me along with WH's flawless interplay... [Reply]
My opinion is that instead of creating an amazing second season that followed up on season one, (in which wouldn't likely meet expectations), they went a different direction.
I wasn't thrilled with the hiring of Vince Vaughn, Rachel McAdams or Colin Ferrell. Ferrell has been awesome. Fred Ward was perfect as his dad.

He did disappear from the limelight after playing his hand in more serious roles specifically Norman Bates. Lucky for him, he's buddies with Ben Stiller that got him back in the comedic actor realm again. [Reply]

I can't quite decide if this is Vaughn as an actor or part of the character itself. It seems they are trying to portray his character as a kind of imposter, trying to be the big business man when really he is still just that small time boss (Stringer Bell comes to mind for Wire fans). He uses his five dollar words and is trying to do all the right things to be the legitimate, but he keeps getting sucked back down to street level, where he really belongs. He seems stilted and disjointed when he is doing his business deals, but knows just how to act when he has to get things done back down in the gutter. Just my thoughts. [Reply]
