It took a while to find any other information on this because all the stars have their names misspelled and even a direct IMDB search didn't turn it up, but eventually I succeeded.  And kind of wish I hadn't.

Maybe I'm hallucinating, but something about this looks fake. The fonts and the way the text lays over the image for the pull quotes and "from the x of y" bit? The fact that they're crediting it as being from the producers of the Golden Child, which, if memory serves, was a notorious bomb? And I get using "from the director/writer/stars of" but were people scraping the bottom of the barrel with "from the producer of" that far back? Like, yeah, I see that it's listed on IMP, but the other posters for that flick look way more reasonable for the time. It's the uncanny poster valley.

My first season of AHS was Freak Show, though I did watch the entirety of Murder House while the first half was airing. That was enough to turn me off the show, though I did actually enjoy Murder House.

I saw the Hotel season, and it was kinda funny to see a show just completely stop caring about it's own plot halfway through.

They ended the first episode of Hotel with Hotel California, and I don't care how thematically relevant it is, it's still hack.

Coven is the best season to hatewatch, as it introduces new plot lines nearly every episode and then completely forgets about them by the next episode (plus names a last minute climactic segment something dumb to justify a Stevie Nicks cameo).

Murder House and Asylum are the only real watchable ones. Everything else has been near to poo poo or just above.

Last season's found footage angle was pretty inspired. I loved how they switched it up at the end and turned the last episode into a faux reality show.

Freak Show burned me so bad that I basically refused to give Hotel a chance. Also, gently caress you Cult for bringing back Twisty. Don't remind me of how you wasted a fantasticly scary character.

I like AHS because it seems like it actually challenges it's actors a bit unlike a lot of shows. There's a lot of roles / scenes on that show that are just like..drat, just drat.

Davros1 posted:Five months at number one?!?! Box Office Mojo has it #1 for 5 weeks in Dec '86-Jan '87, which sounds more likely. Nearly US$80 million in the U.S alone. As Beverly Hills Cop did US$200 million plus, it probably did count as a disappointing result. I've never seen it, to be honest

I dunno, it bummed me out to see Jessica Lange just play the same character over and over again. She's great but by Freak Show I was just so tired of that poo poo.
