Finally watched the premiere of American Horror Story: Hotel and I was...underwhelmed. I don't think 90 minute was necessary, or at least they didn't make good use of their time because I did spend a good portion of the episode wondering how much longer until it was over. This already feels a lot like Asylum to me; too much going on, not enough focus on plot, too much focus on being "edgy" (and by edgy I mean disgusting)

I had seen this article while browsing online but had not read it, but as soon as I saw the episode, I knew exactly which scene the writer was going to talk about. After the Hannibal-like murder scene, the audience was warned that something awful would happen and to have this creature raping someone with a silver unicorn horn dildo...I just...that's not horror to me. That's just being disgusting.

I'll give it a few more episodes. I feel like maybe I should just skip every other episode...except Wes Bentley is so nice to look at...maybe I'll just watch until something bad happens to him.


Also finished Broadchurch Season 2 and OMG WHAT A SHOW!!!!! I doubted they could even do a second season but it blew me away. I can't decide if I want a Season 3 or not...I'm worried they will eventually take it all too far. Plus, I sort of want everyone to get on with their lives now.

Caught up on iZombie tonight, which is off to an okay start.
I am SO glad that Liv is not hiding her zombie-ness anymore. Though I am still annoyed that the show still seems to be about her eating brains and acting weird. Major's storyline (well, him taking the Utopia) makes me think of Reilly in Season 5 of Buffy...which doesn't bode well for Major.


Apparently, tomorrow the new Star Wars trailer is going to air during the football game. My geeky Star Wars friends are already complaining about having to watch some random game LOL. Alas, I'll wait until it is up on YouTube...or maybe I will avoid it and stay totally spoiler free. (Like that is possible, the poster came out today and it was on in my Facebook feed about 10 times, sheesh!)

And for those of you that don't watch TV, here is my magical wedding band that glows in the DARK! I know you are impressed!

Wedding ring super powers activated! #wedding #etsy

The short version: DEAR GODS, IF I DIDN'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH CLOWNS BEFORE THIS SHOW, I WOULD NOW!

Long version:

spoilers, duh )

Did anyone else watch yet??? Curious about your initial reaction.

New American Horror Story: Freak Show trailers are up (for reals this time!) and OMG they are just as creepy as you would hope for.

Seriously though, creepy clown with sharp pointy teeth...you have been warned!

I hope this season is as good as last season. In the sense that it gives me nightmares and I can only watch when the sun is up because I'm too scared to watch in the dark. That's a good season of AHS.

We watched The Conjuring tonight and there were a few scenes that made me think of Season 1 of this series. And then look what shows up in my facebook feed!

I sorta loved The Conjuring and I'm not really a horror story person. I know that sounds silly because I just said I'm excited about AHS, but most of the typical horror that is churned out by Hollywood doesn't appeal to me as it tends to go more for splatter and shock rather than a good scary story. Conjuring was a ghost story, based on true events, just enough to make my heart race, my hair stand on end, and even cover my eyes a few times. But the ending was satisfying and it all made sense even after the credits had rolled. I guess I prefer horror that is more psychological. And I think I like ghost stories more than crazy murdering monsters.

ANYWAY - AMERICAN HORROR STORY! Are you a fan? I really loved Season 1 and 3, though I never did finish Season 2 (felt they went too far with the shock and lost sight of the story). What do you think about Season 4 premise?

Finally watched the second episode of season 2 last night. I have to say, this season is not quite as intriguing to me as the first. I think it's because the "haunted asylum" is so cliche and so far they haven't thrown anything into the mix that surprises me. Last year was weird and had lots of WTF moments, but it was also genuinely surprising what twists and turns it all took. So far, most of the big reveals have left me kinda "meh"
