Well, more TINY peeks of other classic scream queens, even tv ones, like the actress Charisma Carpenter, who played Cordelia Chase in Buffy and Angel, would be nice.

I was expecting her to go full ham villain but her performance make everything look like a small fit ready to be defused before tea.

I'm sold, I'm all in. I don't even know what's going on but I like it. The music is ... interesting. I feel like my subconscious is making connections about the song choices that I'm missing on a conscious level.

I think I'm misinterpreting your post, but it's basically a funky mix of Carpenter-esque synth (paying tribute to the show's campy slasher roots) and 90s pop (which serves a thematic function based in how tied this whole mess is to the pledge who bled out giving birth because "Waterfalls" was the sorority's jam). I'm kind of shocked that the two blend together as well as they do. Interesting fact: the series composer is Mac Quayle, last seen/heard burning it down on Mr. Robot alongside everyone else involved with the show.

buddhanc posted:I had no idea how amazing this show was gonna be. Absolutely hilarious. The AV Club review of this episode pointed out that he's basically a stand-in for Parker Young (of Suburgatory/Enlisted fame) and it makes so much sense. There's a definite Suburgatory feel to this show, almost as much as Glee. The Grace/Grace's Dad thing reminds me of the main character and her dad on Suburgatory, and Chanel No. 1 is very Dahlia-esque (all of the Chanels do. ) It owns, basically. I'm loving the Whodunit, I'm loving the dumb-hilarious humor, Jamie Lee Curtis is killing it, and it knows its horror movie poo poo. edit: Also Diego Bonita ruined Rock of Ages and he's not great in this either.

To be fair, Skyler Samuels is also a colossal turd in terms of acting and bringing down shows. She was on The Gates and The Nine Lives of Chloe King, both shows that died in one season and had HORRIBLE acting on her end. Not to mention the tragedy that was American Horror Story: Freak Show. God, between Samuels and Bonita, they make the worst couple. I admit, I zone out on their scenes.

I was wondering the exact same thing, along with my favourite person Chad Radwell telling Chanel that she shaves her box in sexy way. They are pushing boundaries and I love it. Also loved Chad totally dismissing what Boone did. So since Boone faked his death do we think he is one of the killers, the list of potential killers is pretty much the entire cast at this point right? Except for Chad Radwell given the Red Devil call out scene, unless of course there is more than 2 killers...

They can't hide that Lea Michele is pretty, but the character is not Rachel Berry. Her unsteady walk and manic grin while walking down the stairs were like someone who is completely unhinged. Maybe pre-season one Rachel Berry before she got friends. At the very least it's a much different character than Jessica Lange ever had to play between seasons, which surprised me given how myopic Ryan Murphy has been with Lange. I won't complain if/when she starts singing, though.

That's a very good point about her keeping in the Neckbrace character despite them making her over and making her pretty, and now that I think about could make her even better with all her darkness under the pretty shell.

Ryan Murphy has a great grip on pop culture tropes, but he is not that self-aware, unfortunately.

Also loved Chad totally dismissing what Boone did. Maybe moving from 8 until 9 made the difference? The first episodes had quick humor, but I didn't remember any lines like those being in it. Also, Chanel No 1 calling the girls gashes. I do think, though, that you can probably get a lot by censors by using nicknames for everything. I think I remember reading that the standards and practices people tend to be older, somewhat uptight folks. Maybe they just don't know what any of these terms mean. Also it would pain me to know that NYPD Blue was airing when I was in high school but we still couldn't talk about being spit-roasted on TV in my late 30's. Loving this show, and so far I've only gotten my sister hooked, but I'm trying to spread the word. I can never figure out what "points" and "shares" mean, so how have the ratings been?

criscodisco posted:I'm almost certain I read a thing a while back that she has in her contract or rider or whatever it's called that she cannot be filmed without the ponytail ever, and can only be photographed from one side, her "good side". This is a real thing that happened, but of course her camp denies it. Lady Gaga had a concert photo agreement where she would be co-copyright owner of every photograph taken at the show and her management has final say on what gets published. Taylor Swift had one where her management reserved the right to destroy photographers' equipment for violating the concert photographer agreement. Diva poo poo isn't unexpected, I worked on a music video for Mariah Carey where (after flying an LA video crew to NYC then delaying filming for 2 days because of 'exhaustion') one of her lovely sycophant assistants made a PA shlep all the way uptown to replace a black rug in her green room with a white one before she'd even set foot on set, 6 hours after her call time. Then a few weeks later she melted down and divorced Nick Cannon I've worked on video/photoshoots for varying levels of movie/tv/music stars, and some are actually decent people while others are absolute sludge dumpster humans. ---- Back on track, I like that this show has set it up so almost every major character has a backstory that could make them the 1995 baby or the Red Devil Killer. I resisted watching but I'm sold after the Backstreet Boys streetfight.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this show, but I'm glad I DVR'd it - personally, I think it is the best show this season. The new stuff (so far) has been disappointing, and the returning stuff that I liked has ranged form meh to terrible (Sleepy Hollow, I'm looking at you.)Buzkashi posted:Chad is my favorite thing about this show, I can't imagine how much fun the actor is having portraying him.

Dead Snoopy posted:I've watched both and seriously, it didn't. Scream Queens embraces the hammy-ness and tropes of the material its playing up while the best Scream could do is echo the Kevin Williams formula while everybody save 2 actors (the nerd and the Bex Taylor whatever) are just horrible performance machines. Popular on Heatheroids with a side of slasher. aka the best formula for a Ryan Murphy show. This is great so far, and the best part is for once Murphy and the cast aren't winking at the camera which is perfect for this show. That loving Chanel #2 death was just too good for me. Too drat good.

Calling it now, the baby's gender is going to be contested. I'm calling a Sleepaway Camp situation with the Kappa baby. Denise Hemphill continues to be one of the greatest things about this show, I really hope she and Zayday make it through the next episode. Their back and forth is one of my favorite bits.

I laugh every time I see those earmuffs. I love that not word one has been said about them. I love that they're accessorized. I love that they're always always there. The unremarked background stuff ("Days since a Kappa was murdered" sign; I'm pretty sure that all diagetic video has been classic horror films, the DDSs' clothes) is all amazing.

Chad is still the best. Hester has fully transmogrified into Obsessed-With-Death Rachel Berry. Just realized we haven't seen Boone since the reveal that he faked his death (and is presumably one of the red devils now), and I'm pretty sure he didn't come up when they were rattling off the various deceased to date. Wonder if someone in the next ep is going to be like, "...What about Boone?" or if this is just RM being lazy and ignoring that the other characters would still think he's dead.
