09:41 am - American Horror StoryThis show is goddamn ridiculous. It has various good points and even more various bad ones, but all talk of its relative quality seems secondary to whoa, this show is completely fucking crazy. Having watched the first episode, I'm fairly sure I'll be watching it for some time now, even if it's terrible. Maybe especially if it's terrible.In the first episode, there are two Dylan McDermott ass shots, one while he stands in front of a window masturbating. Jessica Lange plays the next door neighbor, a Tennessee Williams-y fading southern belle who shows up periodically with her retarded daughter, makes an insane speech, and steals things. Connie Britton fucks a ghost in dominatrix gear. She thinks it's her husband, but she knows the dominatrix costume belonged to the gay couple that killed each other in the haunted house before they moved in . There's a caveman imp that lives in the basement and bites anyone who goes down there. There's a peeping tom burn victim, an apparently dead maid that appears to some people as a sexy whore and to others as the mom from Six Feet Under, and there's lots of jars filled with dead baby body parts. And that actually doesn't even begin to cover the crazy here. Everyone should watch this. If you're with me in the sad crew that watched things like Harper's Island, you'll love it. |
