Two Dubliners

(Variety) - HBO, knowing a good pairing when they see it, are putting the leads of 'True Detective' back together again. This time Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey will be playing Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus, respectively, in what sounds like a unique adaptation of James Joyce's watershed modernist novel 'Ulysses.'

Leopold Bloom: And that's another thing (Bloom relinquishes the soap in his pocket, cleansing talisman). What's with all that weird crap you're always saying?

Stephen Dedalus: All right, all right, all right. Ineluctable modality of the visible. Seaspawn and seawrack, the nearing tide, that rusty boot. Limits of the diaphane. Diaphane, adiaphane. A very short space of time through very short times of space. And that is the ineluctable modality of the audible.

Leopold Bloom: Yeah, that crap. Nobody wants to hear that.
