OK …
A good time … ?
There’s possibly a lot that constitutes ‘a good time.’
Isn’t there? Drunken nights out, rampant sex, artistic destruction of pianos whilst chanting “Tra-la-LA … ” … !
Or possibly not: especially if you’ve heard the original Diversion 2 mix!
My point is actually simple: in amongst the engine noises.
That’s there’s more than one way to have a good time.
On my budget? Catching up on a favourite TV is one of them.
Good, over all? I don’t know, yet.
But …

Episode 1 — Check In —opens with two innocent Swedish tourists booking into the seed Hotel Cortez.
Only to realise:
Only to realise:
Iris, the Receptionist (Kathy Bates) is REALLY unpleasant
The place isn’t quite as nice as it seemed online, and …
has humanoid, undead, murderous bedbugs.
In the meantime … ?
In the meantime, Detective John Lowe (Wes Bentley*) is checking out a series of grisly murders: some of which seemingly lead to the Cortez …
And is having trouble at home: after the disappearance of his son, Holden.
Moving out at the insistence of his wife, Dr Alex Lowe (Chloë Sevigny).
You wouldn’t believe where he ends up …

OK …
A good time … ?
OK, beer — I don’t drink — and rampant sex — no-one’s offering! — weren’t in the offing.
But what I caught, tonight? Was an hour’s worth of a very adult horror show: complete with scares, lunacy, the inevitable geek-boy references†, and a look and feel that I found gorgeous.
Roll on my next bit of time off.
American Horror Story: Hotel has me hooked.
* Edward Mortlake in Serie four, Freakshow.
† It’s a creepy hotel with off beat staff Jack Nicholson would be happy working with, a carpet straight off the floor of the Overlook, and vampires vaguely reminiscent of the little I know of Tony Scott’s The Hunger.

Post a Comment
I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
