American Horror Story

[LUXXX]

Did anyone watch last night?? If so...what was that?!!!

I don't know why I get sucked into these Ryan Murphy shows (Popular, Nip/Tuck, Glee)...they always turn out to be such a mess, but whatever.

and here i always thought glee was the american horror story! (sorry i couldn't resist)

i dunno i used to watch nip/tuck on occasion and it was okay to a degree but not great,imo. it's extremely campy like most of murphy's creations and that immediately put me off. really it is like nip/tuck but set in a haunted house. it has all the underlying themes that that show dealt. which is pretty redundant by now. i think if it were more visual and had a stronger narrative it would be better but as you said,it's a mess. but i do have a soft spot for jessica lange though. she's probably the most redeemable quality about this show.

I've only seen a few promos for it. It looks like good concept but it might get old really quickly.

I love Connie Britton but not even she can get me to tune into this show. It just seems like a mess and I just don't get the concept. I don't like Ryan Murphy either, he just gives me bad vibes.

I did love this:

the show was kind of crazy, funny, creepy. Dylan Mcdermott nude is enough to make me wanna come back for more.

Dylan I do think the show is creepy and funny but I really do not get the concept. It is really crazy and out there but I think I'm going to watch a couple more episodes and see what happens. I do like Ryan Murphy...sometimes.

Dylan

Can you believe he is 50?? he looks so good for his age.

Situations from horror movies I like made into an hour tv show? I loved it! I´m a sucker for freak characters, the creepier and nastier the better
I agree it can get old really quick but maybe the magic will last at least one season, I´ll keep watching.

Tv.com made a list of all the homages:

• Bone wind chimes from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre
• The whistling scene (and music!) from Kill Bill
• Dead twins from The Shining
• Ghost seductress from The Shining
• Husband-going-mad plotline from The Shining
• Man standing among the clotheslines like in Halloween
• Creepy older gentleman in dark suit like in Poltergeist II
• Mysterious pregnancy from Rosemary's Baby
• Taciturn, morbid daughter like in Beetlejuice
• Twitchy editing from the Saw movies
• Mysterious servants like in The Others
• High-pitched violins from Psycho
• Hand-thrown firecrackers like in Boogie Nights
• Full-face skull tattoo like Rick Genest (the male model in Thierry Mugler ads)
• Systematic murder of a family like in Amityville Horror
• Pervasive, insane dream logic like in pretty much any Dario Argento film

I´ll add one of my own, the crazy kid was wearing a sweater like Kurt Cobains´ during his first session.

^ love it, thanks for the list, nice to look back and notice those things.

 

[heelscatchfire]

^^ thanks for the list! I hope the shows continues to be good. I like the first episode but it could get worse, knowing the writers.

Can you believe he is 50?? he looks so good for his age.

I know!!

This is the sort of stuff that's best watched late at night when you're so tired you can barely pay attention to anything, turning the show into a strange, disjointed dream instead of an overblown mess that doesn't make sense.

 

[kokobombon]

Last episode was good. Anything goes and it´s OK, it´s still entertaining

 

[kokobombon]

It gets weirder and weirder but I like it even more, one of the few new shows that I truly enjoy
That scene when Jessica Lange gives her daughter the mask was so sinister I hope her character isn´t gone, did she die in the house premises?

Late to this show, and only managed to watch the pilot, but wow, i simply love it, crazy mess, but so much fun! And Dylan? Damn still looking so good, last i saw him was on Practice years ago! And of course Lange steals every scene she is in, love her!

 

[AppleShaker]

interesting twist in Tate's plot..cant wait for more

 

[Belowen]

I am loving this show... After two episodes I am hooked

 

[Miss Dalloway]

Anyone know what kind of dog that is? Its cute, but scary looking at the same time.

 

[kokobombon]

Tate being Lange´s son was hinted in the first ep I think, she said she had a perfect son or something like that...
I wonder why he doesn´t remember killing those kids...

I saw two episodes and I am hooked so far. I´m getting more asap. Great cast, and the way the cameras are used and the mismatched editing really gives everything a very creepy vibe. Quite sexy also...
