Considering that this was my main takeaway from the sketch, I’m gonna assume you were a kid in the ‘70s as well.

It made no sense that Kate McKinnon was as old as she was in the Active Jack “reunion” considering she was playing someone who was a child in the 70s. SNL writers apparently don’t understand the passage of time.

But there’s affection In McKinnon’s impression. I’ve been thinking about the nature of charisma and likability, and I think people generally find men more likable and charismatic than women. It’s part of our deeply ingrained sexism. So I think you should question whether your requirements for likability skew male…

I miss the old AV Club

Thanks for the Jay Pharoah link. After him, nobody should ever be allowed to do Shaq again.

I’m not looking to get into a fight over Hillary Clinton, but I’ll just note that Che’s joke about her likability plays into the profoundly misogynistic way he’s spoken about her on the show and in interviews for years, and to still be making jokes like that in December 2017 after the hellish year we’ve all just…

Aww, thanks for the shout-out, Dennis! Yes, amazing album and this performance is yet another reason why I unabashedly love the Foo Fighters. Best of holidays to you guys!

Yeah, this one sucked. You could tell Kevin was trying extra hard to make the material work, but it all just fell apart, especially that cringeworthy teddy bear sketch. How the fuck did that one make it past the writers’ room? Not a great way for the show to close out the year, but hey, that awesome Foo Fighters cover…

Agreed.

Nothing says ‘hip’ like using a 5 year old meme to justify destroying Internet freedom.

I’ve often wondered over the years whatever happened to Mira Sorvino. Beautiful woman, talented performer, won an Oscar, daughter of an actor—she seemed to have all of the ingredients for success, but the quality and amount of her projects seemed to decline really steeply after the early ‘00s. Ugh, now I know.

This is a great reminder for folks who don’t realize the impact that people like Harvey Weinstein have. While he did go to great lengths to be a stereotypical movie villain, sometimes it’s as easy as saying “Don’t hire her, she’s awful.” That one line coming from him literally had the power to derail someone’s entire…

Probably depends on a lot of factors. Race/ethnicity is a melange of physical and cultural traits after all.

Minor point, but Selma Hayek is Caucasian. I think what you meant to say is that ‘all the other parties involved are not POC’. But I agree with the overall point, something I suggested yesterday; Weinstein seems to be particularly offended by the suggestion that he might he attracted to a black or Latinx woman.

Wondering if you can sue for this sort of thing. Not the harassment per se, but the defamation.

Scrolling chronologically through her filmography, Mira Sorvino was lovely in a small role in “Quiz Show,” wonderful in “Barcelona,” won an Oscar for “Mighty Aphrodite,” and then gave one of the best and most underrated comic performances of the decade in “Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion.” And then,…

Make it a comedy. He can be senile and completely misremembering the assassin squad.

Shitgibbon tweets out fake ISIS videos and Huckahump says it doesn’t matter if they’re fake. The standards to have doubled.

He’s trying to use his position again to get someone fired. That’s not legal, but what does it matter, no one will do a damn thing about it.

No shit!
