Lena Dunham Stole The Show, As Valerie Solanas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                               I had so much fun with the seventh episode of "American Horror Story: Cult."  Entitled, "Valerie Solonas Died For Your Sins: Scumbag," it gave Lena Dunham a chance to steal the show as this week's titular character.  As long as she was on camera, she blew everyone else off the screen.  Even Evan Peters and Allison Pill.  Though I loved Peters' creepy take on Andy Warhol.

                                I also love Adina Porter as Beverly Hope. Hons, I am telling you, she is this generation's New Journalism--impassioned, direct, and on the mark.  Not unlike yours truly.  Everything modern journalism has ceased to be, which is why it is in such a decline.

                                But back to Lena as Valerie.  Her take is more fun and campy, in keeping with the spirit of this show.  For the gold standard on Valerie, turn to Lili Taylor in "I Shot Andy Warhol."

                                 Believe it or not, I once wanted to be the gay Valerie Solonas.  I tried reading "The Scum Manifesto," (Which stands for what, girls?  Society To Cut Up Men!!!!!!!!!) but found it an endless rant, just like Ian Brady's book on his serial killing career.

                                  But just that bit made me want to be the gay Valerie Solonas where I would rid the world of homophobic straights, and great big old closet cases.  I actually found a better way to do it than Valerie.  I simply exclude such from my life.

                                  Lena's posturings, though were so much fun to watch.  Her crazy hair, as she got loonier and loonier!  I thought she was going to get up on the table, at one point, and do "Valerie's Turn!"  It would have been a hoot!  The only other actress I could have seen in this role is Amanda Plummer!  Hey, where is Amanda, anyway?  And, Ryan, why don't you get her on this show?

                                   Finally, FINALLY, along comes Frances Conroy, as Bebe!  Oh, my God, that wig!  I thought she was trying to be Shelley Duvall.  And that whole Zodiac killer thing?  Crazy!!!!!!!!!   It might work in the AHS Universe, but I do not see Valerie Solonas, in real life, as being clever, subdued and objective enough to be as skilled as the Zodiac killer had to be.

                                    And how about that end, with Frances having the last laugh?????  This actress is having the time of her life with this role, and I am loving every minute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                     I still have questions about those decaying parents, and how they got that way.  I think it was the children.  And I think they may have been justified in doing it; ie; abuse.

                                     But it was Lena's show, all the way!

                                      Now, all I have to do is wait for Lily Rabe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
