Didn't everyone love the movie that they were in where they did the lazy versions of themselves - Al Pacino in full hooha and Deniro falling asleep?

Let's see. What's the year? Oh yeah. 2013. Time's been past for 25 years.

Oh yeah. The plot. Ok, so…um…after the last Star Trek movie, Kirk is dead…but let's say he isn't dead and he's like a robot….and you do the rest.

You mean the books that William Shatner hired a ghost writer to write and then stuck his name on.

Both Saddam Hussein and Qaddafi were writers of science fiction and romance.

Michael Boatman of Spin City, Anger Management and China Beach writes splatterpunk. Forget about these lame James Franco literary fiction short stories. Boatman writes stories with phrases like "the mattress smelled like the septic tanks behind the Mexican abortion clinic at high tide"

Get Him to the Greek was the first time I really liked Rose Byrne. Before then I was unimpressed with her Mary Sue character on Damages. According to everyone around her she was supposed to be tough and smart and a great (if inexperienced) attorney but I never got that from her.

The fact that she is doing all of her favorite bits should blow that theory out of the water.

That was still better than anything on last night's SNL.

Well that's one way of saying that it was a blatant ripoff of the Dan Akroyd skit where he plays Julia Child bleeding to death.

They didn't have Target Lady.

I thought that Kristen Wiig was the weakest part of Bridesmaids because even when she was supposed to be funny, it came off more like a woman having a nervous breakdown and when she got kicked off the Maid of Honor duties, my response was "Finally. About fucking time" as opposed to the response which is supposed to

Was it just me or was that damn skit even longer than usual. I get that on some level really lazy people trying to get intense emotion out of things they don't care about might be funny but by now I even hate the theme music.

Once upon a time Margaret Cho was funny. And then she got an audience that loved everything that she did. And she just let that happen.

I never liked Target Lady. I do think that I found the Lawrence Welk skit funny at one point, but the rest of the Wiig ouvre consists of characters who talk in whacky voices and screech a lot. And since the audience just eats that shit up, she never knows that it's not working.

It's nice that the cult she joined is still letting her work. 

That was the part of the show when we still liked her.

Ghost Mom skit was the only one that had any humor in it whatsoever. The rest of that show just reminded me just how much I hated most of the Kristen Wiig skits - especially those damn characters that were based on her talking funny and being annoying.
