When did you guys give up on True Detective? The first season was brilliant… for the most part, although the explanation of the crime was meh. I watched the second season, which was kind of terrible and then I skipped the season with Mahershala Ali, even though I love him. But with True Detective: Night Country, we’re finally getting what everyone said they wanted: two female detectives solving some big crime (what looks like ritualistic serial killings in Alaska). Jodie Foster and Kali Reis star as the two primary detectives. Jodie has already described her detective as “Alaska Karen,” and “She’s an awful, awful character. But you see why.”
These are photos of Foster and Reis from last night’s LA premiere. The first episode comes out on Sunday, and I’m going to give this season a try. We’ll see. Jodie wore a beige suit with some weird structure – it’s not very flattering. Jodie’s makeup also looks like hell. What do you want to bet that her makeup artist is some Gen Z person who didn’t appreciate Jodie’s recent comments about how the youths don’t know grammar or how to show up for work on time. Speaking of, at the premiere, she tried to clean things up.
Jodie Foster is clarifying her comments about Gen Z. Speaking to ET’s Kevin Frazier on the red carpet at the 81st Golden Globes on Sunday at The Beverly Hilton, the 61-year-old actress qualified her previous remarks by now saying she “loves” Gen Z and that her two sons belong to that generation.
“I adore them. They have all this freedom, which is wonderful but we didn’t have. We didn’t know we could say no, for example, and it’s just created a miraculous, confident, different, authentic people,” she said. “But it also makes them, you know.”
Frazier then interjected and offered “very difficult sometimes,” to which she agreed saying, “Yes.”
“But you need them in order to make your phone work,” she quipped. “What can I say.”
I think that’s true, but hey, I also thought Jodie’s other comments were funny and accurate. She wasn’t simply yelling about Gen Z, she had nice things to say as well. I also respect Gen Zers’ confidence and freedom, while also wondering how we got so many Puriteens, etc.
