Yea...no. They gave us Jimmy Carter and AIDS. That was their politics and their sexual revolution. And their protestation of the VietWar was as unsuccessful as a Bryant Park sit-in. Woodstock didn’t end anything but good taste much less a war. And Abby Hoffman’s beard and pubes didn’t solve anything. Jane Fonda even…

So, what you’re saying is, Movies are not Life. Right? Cuz we didn’t know that before.

I’ll never forget that moment on Oct 10, 1975 on a Saturday Night- my parents out of the house and I’m ten years old and watching the very first ep of SNL. George Carlin— Also the first comedian I saw live thanks to my very cool parents —- at the Chester Fritz Auditorium in Grand Forks, ND when I was 12 yrs old.

I love Melissa M— But for the love of god—- stop filming the rough draft of the script and dig into it. Hone it and find the beats and arcs. Enough with the disparate scenes where only you and your cast are having fun. 

OMG—-PLEASE lets talk about that star-trek-7th-generation-semi-famous-actress-for-only-sex-purposes-cameo costume!! SO gloriously shitty.

Where the hell was Cecily Strong? 

IT WAS THE WATER!!!!! NOT THE ICEBERG!!!!

Yea— imagine some penniless white kid with a meaningless title, like say, DMX, with no country, no home and the family that’s left all get killed or die off before you’ve graduated high school— but who managed not to kill, rape, or beat women-- who actually served with dignity and duty. But that story doesn’t make an…

oh.. you adorable idealist.  

Cool. Now talk about how Maria Callas was robbed.

What, no nomination for Gillian Anderson’s wig in The Crown!!?

hahaha

Should be named after the person who invented television: Desi Arnaz.

The “Loser” sketch doesn’t show up on demand for me. Did that happen to anyone else?

By far the worst character at SNL is now Lorne Michaels. When the hell is he gonna retire and let this show update its sensibilities to the current moment. It’s as if Chevy Chase has final script approval and the ghost of Gilda shudders in her grave. Give the show to Second City or the Underlings or the Wayans or the…

A Canadian who can’t ice skate! That’s just....wrong. Unpossiible! Sorry, Reynolds, but your Canadian License has just been revoked. Gretsky, Boitano and your next door neighbor condemn you to Schitt’s Creek.

Oh, Sebastian.... you were to beautiful for this world! Sniffle.

I just watched SNL on demand because I forgot there was a new Ep last night. It wasn’t until I read this review I realized that one sketch wasn’t shown: the Slim Shady parody. Did this happen for anyone else? Was it a licensing thing?

Yes they were both supply-siders. More so the repubs here in the US than in Great Britain of course. The republicans here in 1980 were champing at the bit to get these policies to be enacted. Thatcher had a tougher row to hoe with the entrenched unions in GB. Neither were libertarian—EVER. I remember it well and still…

Does anyone ever address the fact that Dash and Lily is not about Dashiell Hammet and Lilian Helman? Two major writers from the first half of the twentieth century who lived together as lovers and were known as Dash and Lily....? Why is no one addressing this? He invented pulp fiction....The Maltese Falcon and she…
