He basically wants them to be John Oliver, as though what he’s doing fundamentally changes a goddamn thing.

it’s enough already with the pete davidson song parodies. if they’re gonna do a music video every week let some of the other cast members do one, and if pete just wants to do parody songs...leave snl and record an album. i don’t dislike pete or anything (and i think in the last few years he’s shown and proven…

Agreed, overall — the guy who does his voice makes it very realistic, but

I thought Simu Liu was great, regardless of my opinion of the episode overall — particularly compared to the hosting job the previous week.

This felt like one of the more Thanksgiving-heavy episodes around Thanksgiving - usually they just have one sketch, maybe two. It helped add a nicer sensation to what was, as you mention, a pleasant if not standout episode. I do think they could have done more with Simu, but aside from the stunt (Kim K) and the…

Pamela Anderson has spoke and written at length about the difference between pornography and sensuality, and her dislike for pornography so it is not something that she personally wanted to be associated with at a minimum. The sex tape definitely got her labeled not as sexy, but as trashy and you could argue that her…

It’s possible — and I’m just spitballing here — that there may have been repercussions for her beyond just the immediate impact on her career. Like — and again, this is just a theory — maybe she didn’t actually enjoy having videos of her engaging in incredibly intimate acts in private broadcast around the planet. And…

Real “she shouldn’t have worn that if she didn’t want it” energy ya got there, Gaston.

Well Lily sure has shed the image of the privileged girl on Downton Abbey.

As 38 year old who remembers when this scandal broke she was slut shamed to even greater degree and he was treated like a hero. If anything she was treated worse than other women because people people felt like because she posed in Playboy she wasn’t allowed to be upset. Kinda like you are.

IT does but only because women in situations like that are generally looked down upon more than the guy, even if their entire celebrity “profile” is centered on being a sex symbol.

As someone who came of age during the peak of Pamela Anderson’s fame & popularity, I am absolutely stunned by Lily James’s transformation here. Sebastian Stan looks fine too, but he still looks like Sebastian Stan playing Tommy Lee (I can’t believe I’m saying this, but he has his work cut out for him following Machine…

And some great music. Every year, I play the Boston Pops Christmas album where John Williams throws in a few of his Home Alone compositions at least twice.

Ugh, this sounds like someone completely missed the point of the first movie.

The reason the first movie works is because Kevin is a smart aleck, but ultimately he’s a good kid fighting against dangerous criminals. The movie is about his character progression. He start off being purely selfish and revelling in his…

By no means is it [Home Alone 1] a classic

Naw, Rife got this one right. The Callisters have Mansions, the McCallisters have McMansions.

Home Alone is really not the type of franchise that can survive either deep thought or too-clever-by-half stuff like “What if the kid was the real bad guy?” while still remaining a comedy. The half-way decent first two Home Alone films are essentially 60 minutes of “Kid wish fulfillment comedy” followed by 20 minutes…

Home Alone 3 was the first moment in my life I can remember fan disappointment. I can remember being so excited when I heard there was another Home Alone in the works. Then I learned it would feature none of the original cast, nor any links to the original film.

Wow, with that plot, are we sure the filmmakers didn’t make a class satire/parody of the franchise and that we’re not supposed to root against Max? Come to think of it, I’d watch John Carpenter’s Home Alone.

Going by Mikey Day’s SNL roles, I’d expect to see a side character in this whose only role is to flatly point out how wild and unlikely everything is, in case the audience missed it.
