'Just Rewards (2)'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!
It's actually not "scary" for me. It's more horrifying and unsettling and disturbing.
I think you're right about TV viewing, though. It's amazing how much technology has changed programming in just the last five years, and how viewing habits (or wish lists) drove the development of technology.
So far, I'm in Marie Leveau's court ...
I'd agree with one important exception. When destroying a great evil, you do NOT give it immortality to ensure it suffers eternally. Even if you are not an evil overlord, learn from the evil overlord manual: "Death is NOT too good for my enemies."
Amazon Prime now has a season pass for this season of AHS! Guess what episode I'm going to start watching!
If your kids are going to know most of the tool better than you, make sure you know the bit of the tool you need to know as well as it can be known. Work the fuck out of those parental controls. Lock that shit down.
Guess what episode I'm going to start watching!
Is it...is it the only episode that has aired?
Oh, that was fun. Messed up, but fun.
After that first episode, I think my favorite character so far is Fiona.
Jessica Lange has a ball on this show.
Chalking up one more reason why I'm so glad I don't have kids! No fooling with parental controls. I just looked up the list of TV-MA shows. Some of them I would not be cool with my kids watching at all; some I might be OK with them watching with adult supervision; some, I'd be like, "Whatever. Watch it if you want." Parents have their work cut out for them in this day and age. I remember that my parents' hardest decision was whether to let me watch Roots because of all the whipping or the episode of Good Times where you find out Penny's mom has been abusing her.
Also, sorry for the tangent. On topic, I totally agree that Marie Leveau should have made sure Madame was well and truly dead. In all the years she's been alive, has she never seen a horror movie? Kill it, cut the head off, burn it up and salt the earth.
Well, she'd have to be pretty good at the precognition to have seen a horror movie in the 1830s.
It's possible that Madame LaLaurie's immortality was due to her Elizabeth Bathory-style beauty regimen rather than Marie Laveau's potion, or to some combination of the two.
Well, she'd have to be pretty good at the precognition to have seen a horror movie in the 1830s.
But she's still alive and I assume she knew where Madame was buried. She could've dug her up and finished the job sometime during the 20th or 21st century. Maybe she's just not a big horror movie fan? I can understand that.
Also true that Madame's immortality might have nothing to do with Marie LaVeau. Maybe she thought she'd killed her when she buried her. But if so, why chain her up like that? Perhaps that was a just in case.
Clearly, I just need to be allowed to meet with Angela Bassett to ask her all these questions about her character!
