To me, the qualify of the program is far more important than the number of commercials.

 

Again last night the plot moved backward to Trail and David. By now I am used to it. Better than average episode.

Finn certainly does the closeted, doomed officer well, unfortunately realizing too late that not all was right with Andrew Cunanan.

 

Here is a still from that Broadway production of "Death of a Salesman," with Andrew Garfield as Biff and Finn Wittrock as Happy:

 

...and this is Finn from "American Horror Story: Hotel," another Ryan Murphy production:

I saw this production of "Death of a Salesman." The major conflicts do not directly involve Finn Wittock's character. I devoted more attention to Andrew Garfield.. Garfield is an excellent choice for the lead in "Angels in America" which starts previews very soon.

 

I greatly wish I had paid more attention to Finn.

I keep trying to watch this with an open mind, but each episode feels like it was done by a film student with an incredible budget.

 

Beautiful shots and costumes with no meat on the bone: Script is non-existent. When they do attempt serious acting, it feels novela-style melodramatic versus productively moving the story forward. It's tough to really care about a character when they're just a one-dimensional paper doll.

 

The highlight of the last episode I saw was seeing a friend of mine play the drag 'Donatella' who comes up to Casa's gate.

Have to agree with BN.....but there was Ricky Martin butt naked shot ;-)

Finally tonight I have a vague idea who Cunanan was.

[Kippy]

Wow! I thought tonight's episode was by far the best. The character development has really kicked up a notch. The scenes with Andrew and his mother were heart wrenching. I'm intrigued by the complex Jeff Trail/David Madson relationship and it's so tragic to see all these wonderful young lives come to such an end. This is a series worth watching if you haven't started yet.

Who else caught the location of where they went into buy suits for David????

 

And he comes back to meet Gianni Versace

 

And noticed it was Jovani a women’s dress store and not tuxedos or suits

 

That’s too funny in my opinion

Vulnerability, Lesbian Subplot, and Skeet Ulrich Role Cut from American Crime Story

The Assassination of Gianni Versace star reveals what’s missing from the series.

Fans watching American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace will have noticed that the episode running times tend to fluctuate in length. This week’s episode, “Ascent,” clocked in at around 77 minutes with commercial breaks. Next week’s installment will be even longer. But in a wide-ranging interview with Richard Lawson on Vanity Fair’s weekly podcast Still Watching: Versace, series star Darren Criss reveals that, as is often the case, the first cut of each episode was initially much, much longer—and entire subplots and characters wound up on the cutting-room floor. “I’d be curious to see the director’s cut because a lot of episodes ended up at 90, 100 minutes,” Criss explained. Whether viewers will ever see a director’s cut of the series or not, Criss shared a few of the gems audiences might be missing.

 

For one thing, there was an entire sequence involving Riverdale and Scream starSkeet Ulrich as a porn czar who rejected Andrew Cunanan’s attempts to find work in the industry. (According to Maureen Orth’s book Vulgar Favors: Andrew Cunanan, Gianni Versace, and the Largest Failed Manhunt in U.S. History,Cunanan was obsessed with pornography.) Criss explains:

 

There was this really interesting scene in the second episode where [Andrew’s] already on the lam. He hasn’t killed Gianni yet, but Andrew goes into—this happened, apparently—a small boutique porn studio . . . looking for work. Shout-out to Skeet Ulrich, who got cut out of it. I really, really enjoyed his performance. He played this . . . porn Ziegfeld guy, producer dude, with his cigarette, sort-of-skeezy dude.

 

For more of what that Ulrich plot entailed—including Andrew going into a “berserk” rage that caused Criss to injure himself on set—you can listen to the complete interview. Though Ulrich mentioned having a part in American Crime Story in interviews last year, the actor was snipped out of the marketing material for the show entirely. But Criss points out that you can see vestigial remains of some of the other cut story lines in trailers and promotional photos. Take, for example, this character portrait of Orange Is the New Black star Dascha Polanco, who played a Miami investigator in the first two episodes of the series and will likely return for the finale.

I wish the episodes had been played in chronological order instead of jumping over in time and back. For me, it greatly distracted from the final episode last night. Finn's character was introduced several times, only to disappear again.

 

Even Judith Light's vivid character made little impact in the last minutes of the final show.

[Kippy]

It was gripping and sad. The directors were able to garner sympathy for Andrew--despite his being an insane killer. It does make you wonder if things had been just a bit different and all his creative energy could have been rightly directed by someone (any one!) if his life might have turned out differently.

Typical Ryan Murphy production: Desperately attempting to shock until the very end.

 

Judith Light and Jon-Jon Briones were the saving grace of this show, both accomplished stage-trained actors. They deserved better writing and more fleshed-out characters, but they did a lot with the cardboard cutouts they were handed.

 

This whole series was such a letdown from the superb The People v. OJ Simpson.

Wait so Andrew was just always fucked up because of his Father

 

 

Also he looked best when he shaved his hair lol

I think in the first episode Criss gave you cunning, disturbed, confused, conflicted and Crazy, so for me that was enough to call it layered. In all his incarnations he made it believable and while you may not have liked his character, it made me want to watch.... Ricky Martin is eye candy, but its a throw away performance.

In the Easy Lover dance scene one thing I'd say ... underwear technology has advanced over the last 30 years.
