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 someone comments. 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 grown up. 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.
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.
