he's the best thing about season 2 of true detective.
it's really great (and surprising) to see him in a different kind of role. good for him that he stepped up from the usual silly16d0 funny characters.books, records, films - these things matter. -

Yeah, I was thinking that also. He's better in serious roles than comedic. I kind of got tired of his comedies, he's the same in all of them. Good to see him do something different.
Fighting a religious war is like fighting over whose imaginary friend is better. -

I like Vince Vaughn. But I'm a bit perplexed with his TD character. My take on his character is that he's intended to be menacing, but fair. But I guess I can't shake off seeing Wedding Crashers and old school.
The season is a bit different as all the characters seem to be handcuffed in their acting, but it could be the direction of the show so I can't lay the blame soley on Vaughn. The 4 main characters seem to be playing the same person. -

No offense, but I completely disagree. He's just way out of his league doing serious dramatic material. Perhaps his long list of terrible "comedy" films has biased me against him. My visceral reaction is that he's just not a strong actor.
I'll take Punctuality -

I think this is accurate. I didn't see many films with him before, just one or two, because I don't watch comedies. I hardly knew him before TD in which to me seemed very solid.
What has happened to you happened to me with two relatively new and pretty unknown actors, but very well known as comedians: Luis CK and Bill Bur. I can't take any of them seriously in movies, but I think that's because I've watched them too many times in their stand-up comedies. -

I get the impression that if Daniel Day Lewis had played the part the exact same as Vaughn everyone would be wetting their pants about his wonderful understated performance - many people had an opinion of Vaughn prior to the series as a terrible actor so anything less than a Brandoesque performance and they treat it like a Jar Jar Binks outtake.
