To me it was just meant to be a joke. "What if all of the Hollywood writers in the 1950s really were a part of a Communist conspiracy" is just meant to be some wacky alternate history.

Lisa would be way better for this show than about half the cast, although obviously the show can't have both her AND Mick or the balance would be too tilted.

I think the character is still one of the better ones on Legends but that's solely due to Garber.

I think Josh is a fantasy for her though. She's enraptured by how cute and sweet and 'normal' he is, but I think if they actually started dating she'd quickly tire of him as there's little actual substance to him.

Wow. That is the most bizarrely specific, unconventional racism. I give 5 points for creativity.

Truly god-awful albums to make.

The hilarious part is just that each of them has their profession listed as "Twin."

Huh. Thanks for the info!

Just watched the doc, and I don't know if you know the answer to this, but I was wondering if the desirability of lighter skin within India predates colonialism or not. 'Colorism' is obviously an issue of internalized white supremacy among African-Americans, and I was wondering if that's also true within India or if…

Nah, it's not that I'm worried about people accusing me of some -ism for not finding her funny. I just *want* to find her funnier because her story is so impressive and I want to feel fully on-board rooting for her.

I think Cecily and McKinnon are SNL all-timers, and by far the best members of the cast.

Sasheer has a very different range and rarely gets chances to work outside of the established range they've given her on the show (almost always just minor side characters with few defining features). I do enjoy her teenage vlogger sketches, which are the only ones I remember ever having her as the lead.

I always feel so guilty that I don't find her funnier, especially after I read this article: http://www.newyorker.com/ma…. It's genuinely incredible that a conventionally unattractive black woman in her late 40s was able to break through into the mainstream in comedy…

Even if the message wasn't repulsive, and it is, it's just lazy boring comedy. As the reviewer points out, it does absolutely nothing with the inherent cliche of the premise. It just presents the cliche and nothing else.

Petition to remake the series wherein Harry is replaced by a farting boner corpse but nobody acknowledges it and nothing else about the series is changed. Everyone still refers to Harry the exact same way.

I dunno, Chris and Jonah were like "YES WE REALLY REALLY WANT THIS" and she seemed genuinely surprised to hear anyone say that. She also hadn't yet heard that Chris Carter actually had any interest in doing it at the time.

Actually I remember the Memento DVD having a chronological cut as a special feature! It was… pointless.

After the 'just the outside cut of Inside Out' I really don't understand this trend. "Hey, you know that movie you love that was artfully arranged? Have we got a treat for you! We took the same movie but removed the artfulness of the arrangement! Enjoy!"

I'm a big fan of the Bastion one too.
