'True Detective' -- Another Hit For HBO, Another Knock To Theaters

Granted, as a title, 'True Detective' doesn't say 'traditional motion picture feature' as much as graphic novel or pulp fiction, but this trailer speaks of success, and successful traditional features are becoming less and less common. We don't see too many good movies at the theater anymore, and fewer that turn a profit. These days, the action is on cable or certain internet venues, and HBO rules the roost. TV is being marginalized and movies in theaters are becoming irrelevant.

With Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey, this should be the cinematic event of January. I don't really know what will open in theaters and don't think it matters. 'True Detective' will be the thing to watch.



This poster is pretty good, too.
