Halloween itself turned into an informal marathon of Halloween-related programming, didn't it? Oh, well, the real festivities were Sleep No More on Sunday, and no kids came to trick-or-treat this year anyway. Now we've got this bowl of Nerds and Sweet-Tarts sitting around. It never occurred to me before that both of these candy names are technically descriptions of people.
The Walking Dead 2.03 - Save the Last One: Holy shit. The last time a piece of media took me that much aback on my unknowing expectations of boundaries of character actions and moral compass was the first time I read A Game of Thrones about eight or nine years ago. I'm not kidding. Wow. That was legitimately shocking. [REDACTED] is turning out to be a hell of a creation among TV characters.
Grimm 1.01 - Pilot: Grimm is nowhere near as bad as Once Upon A Time turned out to be, but that is some of the faintest praise you could ever damn something with, so. It's kind of like Supernatural with some vampire-mythos-like monster-and-monster-hunter interaction and overdone Flickr filters? I'm curious to see where they go with it (and cute hapless werewolf dude), so maybe we'll tune in for the next ep at least.
American Horror Story 1.01 - Pilot: Better than it looked. Looked like typical haunted house setup -- was to some degree, but the characters/some of the unsolved mysteries were interesting enough to make me want to watch the next few episodes, as well as the intermittent presence of Dylan McDermott's sculpted naked sexualized body. I really hope they didn't put in an extra dash of that just for the pilot and then hold out on us for the rest of the season, because that'd be a serious waste of an attractive actor willing to show his attractive ass.
Night of the Living Dead: Mostly heard about this movie from my dad's mentions. Was expecting some kind of cheesy 70s B-movie. Instead watched eerie Twilight Zone-esque locked-room tropemaking zombie thriller with handsome lead and depressing social commentary. Me gusta.
