The Killing: Forbrydelsen Comes to AMC - TWoP Forums p5 (...-p12)

-cilucia: I liked it. Two quick thoughts 1. Holder reminds me of Jesse from Breaking Bad, especially the Funyuns comment. neato. just wh I tht (prvs dlww post just few hrs ago) - satisfying. 2. Richmond reminded me of Carcetti from the Wire. Kinda looks like him too.

- I've seen tons of procedural episodes that had all these elements but the long time they are giving to the investigation and the mood, pacing and acting quality certainly elevate it. There are almost too many likely suspects. I'd go for the teacher if he hadn't been such a good guy on Harper's Island. oh huh, hadn't even esp reacted to him as fmlr but right he was one of th groom's friends, along w blonde Sully. Danny I think was his name. and he was a really nice guy. int also bcs I've been thinking of Harpers Island wh mostly I forget. not random to think of in cxnn w this, I guess, bcs also a series long mystery ~ cast of suspects. I found th show pretty fun.
and there's a second actor cxnn:
-My favourite theory that I've seen speculated elsewhere on the interwebs so far is that it's Linden's fiance because Callum Keith Rennie is playing him and he always plays bad guys. Callum K Rennie played big bad Wakefield in Harpers Island (I'd not known him before but cmmtrs in twop already regarded him as an actor who is usually the bad guy.
..It could be anyone at this point: the mother, the father, the councilman, one of the councilman's assistants, the councilman's opponent in the mayoral race, a classmate, some other person we haven't met yet.
dsn't seem like all th many suspects to me. we see the detectives (show started w Sarah, jogging, intercut w the crime - the girl Rosie running fr pursuer), the family, the high school, and the politicians. so, the usual ppl in her surrounds - family, classmates - and the mayoral campaign added as one other group of ppl ie field of suspects.
oh fr ggl re orig also there is the guy Belko who works w dad . I noted in credits 'Brendan Sexton ii' or so, wondered if related to Brent Sexton who plays the dad: no. in course of wh read he is Belko & imdb says is in all epsds, and bcs was seen immedly as a jerk seems suspect. other obvs jerk is jamie the little blonde guy campaign manager.

-Danie84: I've found my new favorite show. I loved the morbidity, characters ('lots of familiar faces), and Seattle's backdrop. Hope it lives up to the fun bloody whodunnit Harper's Island.

-I was so happy that the sister asked Michelle Forbes' character why she didn't call Rosie at all. That pretty much made my day. Because who doesn't call their teenage daughter after being gone ALLWEEKEND. WUT?

-the weather in Seattle is not that erratic, even in November! It gets colder and of course rains quite a bit, but usually it's drizzle/sunbreak/cloud/repeat, not downpour/sunny day/lowering clouds/monsoon. :) yeah I d n even at all remember downpours wh there must hv been but not constantly

-parts of it reminded me of Mystic River as others have mentioned ah right maybe Mystic River contrbs to paradigm for me

-I enjoyed the parallels between the pacing of this pilot and the Twin Peaks pilot. The way it all unfolded gave me some serious deja vue. The way the mom finds out about her daughter's death over the phone, the cops going to the high school to interview the kids, the searching of the bedroom, panning shots of the city, video footage of the victim, and the powerful music really brought it back to me.
--kostgard: I had the same thought when the mother got the bad news while on the phone listening to her husband break down: that's exactly how Laura Palmer's parents found out about her death. That and some of the high school stuff, and the to-do about the necklace (Rosie's butterfly, Laura's half-heart) reminded me of Twin Peaks.
cmmtrs energized in 'disagreeing' w this comparison. much debated. I think the anti-TwinPeaks ppl make poor pnts (about similarities being tropes in all mysteries, + superficial just NW setting & victim teenage girls). I side w the defenders:
-polarbeorn: he similarities between this show and Twin Peaks are much MUCH more than superficial. People look back at Twin Peaks and remember it being all dancing dwarves and log ladies. They forget the pilot was very realistic and very, very grim. And many of the details from that pilot are right here in this new show, and not just standard murder-mystery "tropes". From the setting to the music to the climate. Even several scenes were virtual copies... The dead girl's mother learning of her daughters death because she overhears her husband crying on the other side with the police....The discovery of the "cage" is identical to the discovery of the bloodstained boxcar where Laura Palmer was killed...the slowly increasing police presence at the high school where the students gradually realize what happened...the mudered girls bedroom...her necklace...the emphasis on her photograph on the wall...her jackass boyfriend...her misleading best friend...her catatonic mother...the weird new cop (Dale Cooper loved coffee, this guy loves weed!)...each episode covering one successive day in the investigation...
I understand Twin Peaks quickly took a sharp left turn onto the boulevard of surrealism and never looked back; and from what I've heard about Forbrydelsen, this show will follow its own different path (which I'm happy about); but the reviewers are right to point out the very clear and obvious connection between these two series.

-The format, the single crime, revolving around a number of the days of the investigation, that focuses on a number of points of views from the police, to the family, to the various suspects and their lives actually reminds me more of a British show that came out a few years ago called 'Five Days' than it does of Twin Peaks. I think it was also shown on HBO. Considering the original 'The Killing' is set in Denmark if I was going suspect a source of inspiration I'd pick that. Even the way the crimes were eventually resolved was kind of similar.

-ropes pierre: Anyone get the vibe that the kid is not hers( Linden) , but the son of the crackhead/the kid who drew the picture she had in her box? I did not see any baby pictures of him, just the one on the fridge. oh good call, that's int and wld work. had Holder ask "what happened to the kid?" and then interruptn before she cld answer
I think my strategy for this show is to disbelieve anything they tell me (the constant misdirection) and watch for the things they show without drawing attention to heavily.

I mean, that could work out. Like, raising a kid on vending machines.

The Killing, on amc, epsd 2 (or, in single vid of two epsd premiere, at ~ 1:05) based on Danish 'Forbrydelsen'.
wh is like for me? Five Days. wh itslf was like wh? I guess said to be British-style 24, suspense without so m melodrama, not concentrated into single incredible day, but five days of investigation ~ sth like, 1st, then 3rd, then after a month, then a few months, then almost a year later?
and then y bcs of girl found, by water, think of Twin Peaks "who killed __" but y right not smlr in tone at all.
tone more like The Wire. in its wide view on detectives, family, and politics (bcs girl found in sunken town car belonging to campaign for mayoral challenger). maybe it's esp the politician scenes th make me think of The Wire, s3, and this may not warrant the comparison, though the orig praised highly, and in just bit of rdg did see two other cmmts saying on or almost par w The Wire.

this may have th personal hook for me in char of side-detective Holder. came here to note this scene wh I delighted:

..after interviews at the high school. two detectives Sarah Linden and her replacement Holder at desks looking at phone records, and Sarah's son Jack sitting waiting in chair on side of office..

-SL: Cell calls to home, parents' phones, Sterling... Not much of a social life.
-H: Till that boyfriend.
-What was she doing with him? Good girl with no secrets.
-She lied to her mom about her costume. And her Fabrizio Bianchis. There's no way she could afford these. We're looking at 2gs easy.
-How do you even know that?
-How do you not?
-Mom shops at Ross. That's why.
/oho! Holden puts out hand for Jasper who eagerly steps up to high five/
/Sarah to Jack/ -Maybe you should go get some chips or something.
/Holden/ -Jasper could have bought these, trying to win her back.
/Sarah calling after her son/-No candy bars. Something healthy, like corn chips!
/Holden, leaning back to call over his shoulder/ -Yeah, funyuns, son! Get your fiber! I mean... I mean, that could work out. Like, raising a kid on vending machines. earnest "I mean.." then cracks big smile. mm.
Don't feel bad, Linden. I mean, y-you really ain't that bad. So, little man and your boyfriend... they get along?
-My fiance. Yeah, they do. That's good, 'cause my mom's boyfriends... whoo! I mean, they had it out for me. They were, like, lions. Like, kill the cub to get the female back in heat. It was like--


AMC is dead on with ‘The Killing’ -by Paige Wiser tv critic pwiser@suntimes.com

With their moody new mystery series “The Killing,” AMC has remade the 2007 Danish series “Forbrydelsen” (“The Crime”), which was an insane hit there. What at first seems like a slow pace turns out to be a permanent steady sense of dread. Teenage Rosie Larsen is horrifically murdered, but it doesn’t feel sensationalistic. It just feels very real.

The most devastating early scenes are centered on the dead girl’s family as they get the news. Michelle Forbes (“True Blood” first seen? in 24 I guess, fmlr enough before True Bl that th just seemed a not esp great note for the actress; and In Treatmt as Paul's wife then ex, just a bit role) and Brent Sexton (“Justified” fmlr to me fr 'Life' as good guy policeman who had been Charlie's partner) will break your heart as Rosie’s parents.
y Forbes as mom Mitch on the phone when husband pulls up to the cops at the lake, hearing him calling 'Rosie'

Mireille Enos (Big Love, did highly praised roles of the twins on th compound, ~Kathy who came across gentle and kind and who married Joey & Wanda and then was killed I think by Roman and the one who came across harder ~Jodean who Frank got to marry and he & Lois took on their bird smuggling expdtn) plays red-haired Sarah, a low-key homicide detective in the tradition of Frances McDormand’s “Fargo” character. hm int good comparison. She’s due to leave Seattle to marry a sweet guy in sunnier Sonoma, but she’s resignedly drawn into the murder investigation.

Sarah is saddled with training her replacement an ex-narc cop played by Joel Kinnaman as sort of a white Snoop Dogg ~ lanky and streetspeaky. You’ll hate him at first sight — and then start looking forward to hating him as a break from all the grief.
d n hate him at all, is that really how most ppl wld, is that how char intended? I'd hv tht somewh as comic relief and anyway as contrast of style ~culture
from th first find him int and funny "you're my ride, Linden!" -- always I like this kind character or personality, what is it -- forceful -- in anger, often, or humorous indignation like Always Sunny "ah, yeah, it is" maintaining something totally wrong with total conviction, like jaime at scarecrow going to th back to get a video for a guy, then having a conversation w a friend back there, then coming back out hvg totally forgotten "no, that wasn't me" (like, that guy's weird!) ~ all-in, wrt own world.

most smlr to how I like Jesse fr BrkgBad, w street speak and so earnest. (Jesse's a sweethrt like Holden is not though) rg: 'you laugh every time he talks' (like, I'm not a good barometer of what's going on & what's funny) said to me orig re Hurley in Lost, v diff character, but also sort of all-in, expressing himself with force: "Michael didn't know about the polar bear!"

emphatic. I like emphatic.
of course here it's how wry. wry is very for me 'made up my mind th I wld live today'.

NOX anne carson

from the second book of Herodotus: “So much for what is said by the Egyptians: let anyone who finds such things credible make use of them.”
Herodotus signs off his seventh book with: “That, at any rate, is the story of what happened.” Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t /what happened/, but that’s what I heard.

themorningnews.org/tob/nox-v-lord-of-misrule (opening round) judged by Andrew Womack, tmn founder: NOX is a beautiful look at a life and what comes before and after it, and an enrapturing read from beginning to end.


NEXT jms hynes

On a mission to interview for a new job (his life in Ann Arbor untenable for a number of reasons), Kevin arrives in Austin with many hours to spare. He tries to settle in at a coffee shop, but a fortuitous sighting of the woman he sat next to on the plane—Kelly—sends him stalking her around the city. “Joy Luck,” as he thinks of her, is his ghost of the past: Everything about her reminds him of past loves. The second visitation is from Claudia, who enters as Kelly disappears. Claudia grounds him in the present, briefly: They eat lunch and share secrets. The last is Melody, and I won’t explain how and where they meet because to do so would ruin one of the most shocking and terrific reading experiences you still have ahead of you if you haven’t read the book yet. But I think it fair to say that she serves as his guide to the future. The last chapter is full of terror and sadness ..
themorningnews.org/tob/next-v-so-much-for-that (opening round) judged by Jessica Francis Kane

themorningnews.org/tob/next-v-so-much-for-that-commentary KGuilfoile: It’s a difficult book to talk about without either mischaracterizing it or giving up too much, but the way that Hynes is able to marry the tight human observations that are the slow-burning fuel of the literary novel with the high stakes tension of a thriller is really a show that has to be seen. For me, the ending wasn’t really shocking—I was expecting it, frankly—but as I waited for it to happen I was turning the pages one after another thinking to myself, “Is he really going to do this? Does he really have the balls to do this?”


nxt round, qrtr finals http themorningnews.org/tob/nox-v-next judged by John Wllms: It’s hard to discuss Next in a meaningful way without giving away its ending. I won’t spoil it here, though it’s hardly a Crying Game-level shock when the novel pulls down its drawers. Having read some coy reviews at the time of Next’s publication, I had a pretty good idea of the surprise’s general nature.
The only thing that really bothered me was the way Hynes got me (and Kevin) to the very grand finale. Hynes keeps the reader clued in to certain unfolding events that are miraculously eluding Kevin. For a day-in-the-life book rooted very much in the real, this felt too conveniently manufactured.


semifinals: themorningnews.org/tob/next-v-the-particular-sadness-of-lemon-cake-commentary
-jamesharrigan: Roderick's impatience with Kevin seems to have prevented him from appreciating how the final section (the famous "last fifty pages") alters or at least deepens our understanding of what has come before. In short, Kevin is an unreliable narrator of his own awfulness: he is a better man than he thinks, and than we thought.
and...the final 50 pages are really something. I'll refrain from spoilers, but this is truly fine writing, that elevates a diverting satire to a higher level.
-neighbors73: Can we stop refraining from spoilers? The ending of that book is so strongly foreshadowed from the first page, I really don't know how anyone---except the main character Kevin, of course!---could have failed to see it coming.
I'M BREAKING THE SPOILER BAN...

tmn tob

2011 (re bks pub 2010) any favorites this group? ~ not so far, reading thr. but not unint.

have read: So Much For That - galley. good, not outstanding, but int esp re healthcare, 'retiring' early to thrdwrld ctry. and life goes on ing.
Room - took home hrdvr for a nite. compelling mysteryish to read. some pleasing bits.

acquainted: Bad Marie -mention EW wrt Mona Simpson My Hollywood, survey other bks re nannies, I was int fr the one sentence cap but lkd up then d n care to read.
Bloodshot -galley, oh and also EW writeup, isnit?

am fmlr w: Franzen -- Freedom ~ I'm w JohnWllms who I wondered & ggld & found is not the one from RM hs but a diff guy, founder of Second Pass - lks good, read OurBks OurSlvs, fill in on this year's talk re gender in lit - who says "in honestly befuddled camp" ~ The Correctns to me was supermarkety family drama. so okay, I guess like Middlemarch, wh is 'classic.' but writing less appealling. as Sarah Manguso here said in chmpshp judge, only Egan's of the two bks sentences found way into her commonplace bk (Manguso's, that is, things in mind). Manguso still writing well, top-ish cmmt on final chmpshp cmmtry said she was fvr judge & sold a bk as result. yes me too so I feel ahead of th game hvg got Two Kinds Decay but today read intrvw w her wh is it made me feel like she's not for me? did like how uncompromising was in bookslut intrvw not assimilating to qstnr's way-of-talking-re-reading eg genres memoir but oh maybe d n like 'Franzen made me weep for lost love but Egan reminded me death is coming' bcs I d n trust 'weep' and also 'remind', wh is sth I wld hv said but it's just convenient. so what is more to the true? ~ I was sad with Freedom about love that is gone. With Goon Squad I was where I know there is death for me. ~
ps do like the line quoted by manguso & also by matthew defective yeti who stopped at it, p11 of the bk declared it th winner (I guess he *liked* the line - rt?) but he said it was re 'a child' while she said it was re daughter-in-law (so maybe th char first on scene as child) and that does, fr without the context, suggestive of int relation "she was like an imaginary friend who happened to be visible" ok so known to him only through his son, as part of his son's world, as a voice or reflection of his son's inner life. int to me re child-in-law. bcs your own child so important to you, the spouse is aspect of that child. may as well not be a person herself. (but is.

J Egan -- Goon Squad / Egan is almost lorrie moore early fvr of mine and more than moore re BirdsAmer I liked Egan at P&P was it for ~'LookAtMe' (?) not ~ 'Circus' ? saying she trying to say things have not said before at 33 takes into off territory / ~ but it seems I liked The Keep, really very funny, and now - was it th d n care for end? - do not much want read this next bk? & The Keep was not in tournamt before? pub 2006 so wld be 2007 tourn


let recap me: I happened upon tourn in 2006. pleasantly associated w joe in mailroom writing out piece of paper little writing basketball picks office pool, and I decline and say Oh! tournament of bks, and every time there it is. this year not in mailroom only happenedly did some reading at sudie's computer while elena sleeps, came to it on weekend while game play recap up before Monday's chmpnshp, now have the whole of it to read. w commentaries, cmmts fr readers, plus over to commenting blogs.

anyway 2005 before me. Cloud Atlas won, right?

2006 the year of most involvement by me. final Homeland (scrappy up&comer! funny) v The Accidental (my kind of bk if not fvr). sam lipsyte, ali smith.
------note re layout d n have the convenient sidebar links to all book matches. that starts in 2007. + convenient header drop-downs of Brackets, Judges, Books starts in 2009? no 2010. so this only 2nd yr of superb format.-----

2007 no bks esp of int to me? I guess not. final The Road v Absurdistan. cormac mccarthy, gary shteyngart (also in this year's, and has bn a judge). I think maybe I got int in some of the judges? maybe dlcs notes. (or here dlww?) mark sarvas? sth in mind re th name. dan chaon, whose first bk I hv You Remind Me of Me. maybe got th bcs liked his cmmtry here, or why? sth like th. and no, no The Keep here.

2008 - appears again not I was m into. books nor judges. final Remainder v Brief Wondrous Life Oscar Wao. tom mccarthy, juan diaz. I had read Remainder, of some int but cold leaving. j diaz seems nice, think he wrote here an acceptance, and maybe judged a match a prvs year? also incl Tree of Smoke by denis johnson, Savage Detectives by r bolano so was first of two appearances in a row in tourn, and Then We Came to the End by j ferris wh I did read some of.

2009 - City of Refuge scrappily to final v The Mercy. tom piazza , toni morrison. also incl Dart League King, wh I then was happy to find galley of. also 2666 r bolano much discussed.

2010 - eh final The Lacuna v Wolf Hall. but almost also Book of Night Women, as scrappy to semifinals. kingsolver. hilary mantel. marlon james. Bk Night Women in th one I got out of it. also j kottke in much ngtv cmmmtd judgmt chose Lacuna over Let the Great World Spin, with discussn of the design, wh I d n mind but disagreed on every pnt: I prefer paper, prefer quiet illustratn of Let The, dislike dust jackets esp with holes, and this is even worse that it has a lacuna in it yech, and I v m dislike deckle edge! yech. do not like th look maybe bcs assoc w cmmrclsm, commercially 'literary', but anyway bothers me bcs like to flip and pages clump. ps this year tourn also incl l moore Gate At Th Stairs, beaten out the gate by Bk of Night Women. in judgemt by C Max McGee who edits the Millions (and this year gave the addtnl vote in th chmpshp.) did I like wh said? think I liked each judgemt re Bk Night Women. in its second match, 'qrtr finals', judge Carolyn Kellogg who of int to me bcs of qstn, answer is not, whether my friend Connie.
also 2010 begins the Biblioracle, right? spontaneously in cmmtry qrtrfinals Wolf Hall vs Anthologist. [y: themorningnews.org/tob/2010/wolf-hall-v-the-anthologist-commentary ]cmmtatrs Kevin Guilfoile & John Warner discussing 'voodoo' of reading, wh ppl like. John W offers to try recommending bks in cmmts based on last 5 you read. and then didn't they do this again, prior to this year's tournament, billed as sth like a half-time show?

finally, now 2011 Freedom v Goon Squad. j franzen, j egan.

I win, spring sprung! last in, side, it's go
never seeps but soul's tooth.

GOT IT! 'People like us are the only people here.' (lorrie moore story I hvn't esp read Birds of America)
