If he’s happy, then I guess there’s no issue, but it seems like Chris Columbus skipped a few rungs going downward on the ladder. Only 5 years ago, he was still doing big-budget studio comedies, and now he’s doing the sequel to a Netflix Christmas movie? Not so long ago, he was directing some of the highest grossing…

He also compares trying to physically move around to a “negotiation in my mind between Donald Trump and Nancy Pelosi.”

“Safe edge” is a great studio note.

“Intern! Take the rest of the day to find the most condescending picture of Joe Rogan, since he interviewed someone we don’t like.”

Surprised Anderson Cooper isn’t even listed here.

Who plays these parts in the movie? One has to be convincingly schlubby, but with enough potential for a conventionally good-looking version of himself.

GOP Operative: “Boy, now that Trump’s gone, are we headed for a long period of the Democrats in power?”

Increasingly, you do hear a lot of comedians say that audiences are reacting that way more and more. The addition of a “wait, am I allowed to laugh at that?” reaction.

Fair enough, but this thing could be Citizen Kane and it’ll get slammed. Also, the chances that 99% of the people trashing it based on the book have actually read the book are negligible.

I guess this answers the question, “will the Hillbilly Elegy reviews be written before anyone actually sees the film?” Don’t totally get the pre-determined hostility toward this movie.

Agree on the “Hallelujah” thing. Assuming the pattern holds, I’m already excited to hear Jim Carrey’s melancholy cover of “Stacy’s Mom.”

Not sure how this gets a B unless it was written beforehand, but was someone signaling John Mulaney offstage to fill time with his stand-up? There was a rambling quality there that never seemed to be before.

Sure, but...and after that? 2+ hours of a pretty by-the-numbers war film, in my opinion anyway.

Apparently Harvey Weinstein, during an Oscar campaign, was pushing the narrative that this movie was “really just the first twenty minutes.” If there’s a better example of the “the worst person you know made a good point” meme, I’m not sure what it is.

“For my money, as a Gawker Media employee, the big NFL news this week was something published by Gawker Media.” This is the kind of transparent synergy Gawker makes fun of when it comes from anywhere else.

“Uneven” has to be the most unimaginative critique for possible for Saturday Night Live. You could say that about any episode the show has ever done.

God forbid educators at a school try to educate their students on spending a small amount of money responsibly. Also, do you really need to be out of touch to see that a hoverboard is wasteful if you don’t have a lot of money to spend?

An overwhelming number of NYC cab drivers are Sikh men. Inaccurate would be a bunch of white people driving around in taxis.

Hey, guys, does anyone have any opinions on whether SNL was funny anymore? Or was ever funny? I feel like it’s time someone finally weighed in on that.
