Red 93,586 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Hmmm... so they are really gonna sell the hotel to Will and he will change some things. And this Countess's first love most likely isn't Mr. March. I wonder if it is her baby's dad. If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating.

Davidsonary 925 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I wonder what Will is going to find. All the dead bodies? Or maybe a secret torture chamber. Oh hello. What is this space down here? Where am I? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didymus 34,171 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Going off her performance last week, an "emotional" scene should be no problem. Well, I found it unbelievable but I do blame the writing more than her acting. There was no way anyone could have made that writing comfortable in my ears Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no way anyone could have made that writing comfortable in my ears You were expecting Shakespeare? lol The writing on AHS is hardly the point, it's always been over-the-top. My point being that her performance, in the latter half especially, was very nuanced and clever. Emotional scenes, or scenes that are explosive in nature, are considered more impressive for some reason, but they're easier to pull off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don't think that referring to the writing in general is a good idea here, since I can definitely notice that some scenes are written splendidly and others don't work.Disagree about your last sentence, too, it's so easy to go over the top with those and look unbelievable. Both restrained emotional and explosive emotional scenes require constraint and nuance. Gaga hasn't been able to show that yet, in my opinion, because the one restrained emotional scene she had was ruined by bad writing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the writing for Gaga's scenes are fine, especially the last one. Not that there's been much dialogue to comment on anyway.And yes, I know that both types of scenes required a sense of calibration (a.k.a. actorly skill). But, more intimate and muted scenes are trickier to pull off. Any actor worth their weight can do a crying or angry scene. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopThatArt 2,193 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Particularly the one where she talks about her heartbreak.I agree, the writing could have been better with that one. I want to see better written scenes for Gaga, not just ones in bed and killing people. Go see A Star is Born Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
