No spoilers in this post:

I’ve binged to Ep6 so far. Acting is great, directing is top notch, camera work is amazing.  I was afraid the horror thing was going to get played out, but so far it hasn’t.

Each episode basically develops each family member, which is great for getting us invested in the story. Ep1 was probably the scariest, but the each episode is creepy. 

This show is essentially what I hope American Hotror story was supposed to be. I had no idea there was a book.

Just watched it over the weekend. As far as scary shows go, it was good. Some great editing and jump scares that didn't feel cheap. They deviated wildly from the original book, but I liked what they did. It felt a lot like a mixture of the Shining, IT, and AHS season one, which were all inspired by the original in some way. 

Young Hugh has to be the worst spouse in the world. Totally in denial and falling down on the job of being a dad. Also, who in the fuc k were they going to flip that house for?! No matter how much you spruced it up, it was still creepy as hell. No one was going to buy that house, so the idea that they were going to flip it was a really weak premise in my opinion.

So about that ending....

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’d like to rewatch the series to see how it all connects but first impression is the ending sorta feels like a cop out. Like, the ghosts are all of a sudden happily ever after? What about all that fugged up poo we just witnesssd for nine episodes? It just doesn’t vibe right to have such a heart warming ending imo. Appparently the original plan was for the end to show all the children together and happy outside of the house, only for the camera to reveal the “red room” window, meaning they are still in that room in some sense. But the writer/director decided the night before filming that he liked these characters too much to put them through that hell.

I think that would have been an interesting open-ended ending and more fitting to the series as a whole. Oh well, it wasn’t a terrible ending. It’ll be interesting to see if the next season is based on an entirely new house and characters.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
