No mention at all for Weekend Update? Che got off the best joke of the night.

Overall I enjoyed the episode. I think they are still establishing their new energy after so many key pieces leaving, but I’m digging the direction.

This was a really fun episode. Gleeson’s monologue was really low key and lovely--personally love that Farrell is in and out, because, after all, he’s not the host. The PDD sketch was great, as well. Although, I do think the New Cast Advice was probably the best.

How could you forget Scott Thompson from Kids in the Hall!

Don’t be fooled, he’s feeding off you!

But he “made a contribution to music history”! You know who made a incalculably larger contribution to music history? Nirvana. I’m guessing the number of people who bought Nevermind specifically for the baby on the album cover, and not just any baby but specifically that baby, is pretty close to zero.

“You’ll hook up with a hot chick, and then they figure out you’re not making any money from it and they’ll dump you.”

Also, please get me your tiniest violin to play for his tale of woe regarding using his “celebrity” to hook up with hot chicks, who then dump him cause he’s not flush with baby album cover money.

Kinda weird that it’s becoming another part of the culture wars, too. Like, judging from this article, are we supposed to now hate Andrew Garfield for defending method acting? Is everyone who criticizes it a hero? Just tell me where I’m supposed to direct my anger today because honestly I’m a bit out of the loop.

I am personally uninvested in anything Harry Styles, but this article feels weirdly mean and presumptive to someone who’s trying to sell a movie. 

Jesus, I never thought I’d be writing these words, but I think The AV Club has finally found a writer who’s even worse than Sam Barsanti.

The subtext of this article seems to be “I’m mad at Harry Styles but I shouldn’t have to tell you why.”

“I had been cast before Al Pacino in Godfather 1! Is this not weird?”

Yeah, but he’s got those dead eyes, though. He must be guilty of something, else they’d be all twinkling and lively.

I refuse to believe any A.V. Club writer could sit through The Godfather without picking up their phone within five minutes

Next you’re going to tell me that Marlon Brando wasn’t the studio’s first choice for Vito, Coppola wasn’t their first choice to direct, the studio didn’t want it to be a period piece, and the novel had a subplot about vaginoplasty! 

Where is Heathers? Election? smh

I’ll add a few where the school was fully integral to the story:

Maybe this is one of those details that everyone knows, so the article didn’t feel the need to mention it. But in case not...

i think the writers on the site have a word quota, as alot of articles on this site now come with 15% information/85% snark.
