The Holdovers (2023) | dir. Alexander Payne

On shame and longing

I figured out the message. One word. Know what it is? “Stay.” — Interstellar | 2014 dir. Christopher Nolan

when ethel cain said i’m tired of you still tied to me and when gracie abrams said i see you every night in my sleep anticipating every bad dream and when noah kahan said the ghost you dressed up as sure knows how to haunt and when lee mandelo said come on i love you but this is no life and when micah nemerever said all they were — all they had ever been — was a pair of sunflowers who each believed the other was the sun

Stop saying shit like that. It's unprofessional. [...] Like you 'smell a psycho's fear' or you're in 'someone's faded memory of a town' - just stop. TRUE DETECTIVE (2014– ) — 1.01 "The Long Bright Dark"

DETECTIVE RUST COHLE, from TRUE DETECTIVE 1.01 “The Long Bright Dark”

okay so true detective season 1 has been my hyperfixation for years now and it has left a giant void in my life like… nothing will ever be this good ever again. so in case any of you feel the same way I made a list of media that helped me with getting into a mindset that at least somewhat resembles the true detective s1 experience:

- Memories Of Murder (2003)

- Sicario (2015)

- Arrival (2016)

- The Conspiracy Against the Human Race by Thomas Ligotti

- Better Never To Have Been by David Benatar

- Saint Maud (2019)

- The Florida Project (2017)

- both Galveston and Between Here and the Yellow Sea by Nic Pizzolatto

- books on the show itself: Time Is A Flat Circle by Melissa Milazzo and True Detective And Philosophy (Blackwell)

- anything by Lovecraft tbh

- also anything by Zapffe :)

- The Devil All The Time (2020)

- Negative Space by Yeager

feel free to add onto my list please I am begging you
