Patty Jenkins responds to Ryan Murphy copying 1984 for AHS’s title
April 12th, 2019 under American Horror Story, DC Comics, Van Halen. [ Comments: none ]

Earlier this week, Ryan Murphy announced that the latest installment of American Horror Story will be called 1984. However, we also heard that year being used in a title for one of the most anticipated movies of next year. Wonder Woman 2 is also already taking place in the same year that Footloose, Gremlins, Nightmare on Elm Street, Revenge of the Nerds, Karate Kid, Ghostbusters, Beverly Hills Cop, Splash, Spinal Tap, Children of the Corn, Streets of Fire and Police Academy came out.

How does director Patty Jenkins feel about Murphy stealing her thunder? She wrote, “Dear @MrRPMurphy #AHS1984. Wow, what a great title!!! Oh… wait a minute. Uh… Love, #WW1984”

Say, say, say, forget Deniece Williams’ Let’s Hear It For the Boy because this time it is all about let’s hear it for the girl. I am sure you might think that is a diss, but I think we can all agree girls just want to have fun.

Hello, let’s go crazy and admit that 1984 was a thriller, therefore you cannot blame them for having an infatuation with it. Therefore, I’m so excited and head over heels for both projects, so let’s jump, get footloose, raise 99 luft balloons and cum on feel the noize for both 1984s.

UPDATE: Ryan Murphy was like you think you can take on me, you can’t. Therefore, he responded to her by writing, “Dear @PattyJenks #WW1984. Wow, what a great title!!! Oh… wait a minute. Uh… Love, #GeorgeOrwell’s1984 ;)”

Now, it is up to George Orwell to respond. Oh…wait a minute. Since he is dead, maybe Van Halen will weigh in cause they have has an album with the same name since, well, 1984. The band can show both directors a house of pain.


Will Fox and FX call 9-1-1 to report the theft of Ryan Murphy to Netflix?
February 13th, 2018 under American Horror Story, Netflix. [ Comments: none ]

If you thought that Ryan Murphy pushed the envelope really far on FX, then just wait to see what he does on Netflix when he can take things to an R-Rated level. Blood, gore, sex and cursing are in his future because he signed a major deal with the streaming service.

Beginning on July 1st, he will exclusively be creating new shows and movies for Netflix. Man this is a huge coup for Netflix because FX has basically become the Ryan Murphy network. How does he feel about the move? “I am a gay kid from Indiana who moved to Hollywood in 1989 with $55 dollars in savings in my pocket, so the fact that my dreams have crystallized and come true in such a major way is emotional and overwhelming to me. I am awash in genuine appreciation for Ted Sarandos, Reed Hastings and Cindy Holland at Netflix for believing in me and the future of my company which will continue to champion women, minorities and LGBTQ heroes and heroines.”

What about American Crime Story, American Horror Story, Feud, 9-1-1 and Pose? He said, “I am honored and grateful to continue my partnership with my friends and peers at Fox on our existing shows.” They are safe for now.

What can we expect from him on Netflix? He already has two new shows set to debut globally there and they are Ratched and The Politician.

All I know is, now that he has free reign, we better get a Popular reunion movie and Nip/Tuck revival. Dr. Sean McNamara and Dr. Christian Troy were Dr Miami before Michael Salzhauer gave himself the title.

Seriously, if Netflix steals Greg Berlanti and/or Seth MacFarlane away from traditional television, broadcast TV is screwed more than the characters will be in Murphy’s shows. ABC already lost Shonda Rimes to Netflix, so the networks cannot afford to lose any more big producers.





American Horror Story: Cult looks like more like a Horror movie
August 23rd, 2017 under American Horror Story. [ Comments: none ]

Up until now, American Horror Story has felt more like a TV series, but Cult seems like it will be more like a really long Horror movie. Which is something I have been waiting for because to me that is how a Horror story should play out. Are you as excised as Evan Peters to watch the latest installment starting on September 5th.


American Crime Story: Gianni Versace bumps Katrina
June 13th, 2017 under American Horror Story. [ Comments: none ]

American Crime Story: The People v OJ Simpson was an awards darling, so FX rushed not one but two editions of the limited series. First they ordered a season based on the fall out of Katrina in New Orleans and then they ordered one on the shocking murder of fashion icon Gianni Versace.

Both seasons have star studded casts in Annette Benning, Matthew Broderick, Penelope Cruz, Ricky Martin and many more, which makes it seem like they would want to rush both to air. They are not. In fact, they are currently shooting Versace which was supposed to air after Katrina, but the latter has not began filming. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that for Katrina they need more time to create the special water effects so they can recreate the deadly hurricane and its aftermath. Plus, when you have a cast like that, it is hard syncing their acting schedules. Due to all that, that edition will not air until the end of next year and Versace will air the beginning of 2018.

Personally, I never got why they are doing Katrina in the first place because it just does not seem the fit their theme. Versace does because it is about the murder and then the search for his killer. Which makes me think that Katrina might not make it to air if it does not get its act together soon. Especially, since there are so many other crime stories they can do that will keep up enthralled like they did with OJ. Imagine of they did the Manson murders or Patty Hearst’s kidnapping, The Preppy Killer and so many more. Which crime story do you want them tackle next? Do you want to see Katrina happen?
