All the same, I’m always happy to see people who enjoy Cats! It’s a weird CG bastardization of a weird fae bastardization of a fascist’s feverish fancy, and I enjoyed every minute of seeing it in theatres. I think it was also the last film I saw in theatres, which sums up 2020 hellworld pretty well.

He was tolerable as Bustopher, but I am unsure if that’s just because he had to share screentime with Rebel Wilson’s Jennyanydots- she was the worst part of that film.

If anything posting these probably means I’d never get a job at AV Club. I mostly just post them because there are only a few sites which have people who talk about the show as in actual conversations instead of just “Lib agenda” or “It hasn’t been funny since Kristen Wiig left,” or stan posts. I’m usually more

Oh, I had no idea Daniel Kaluuya was in Doctor Who, so I looked it up. (“Planet of the Dead” during the David Tennant years. I’ll have to watch that again now).

I mean...it ended with verbally obtained consent to a kiss...there really may just be no safe way to address this topic anymore without people complaining.  She wasn’t being “manipulated” jesus.

Heinous Typo Takedown Alert:

that ad is up there with the taylor swift cardigan capital one ad for overplayed on my youtube lately. credit card companies really are going for that 27 views

I’m thinking that the Doctor Who bubble in the US has burst (again), and likely because of Peter Capaldi (which is sad, because Capaldi killed it as the Doctor). David Tennant and Matt Smith appealed to a very select group of adolescents who have now more or less aged out of their Who fandom now that the Doctor isn’t

I think Kyle has shown a surprising amount of range and given many strong performances/sketches over the past 8 years, and I think Beck’s had a pretty good season, but I do feel like we have seen everything we are going to get with them.

They were probably burnt out, and SNL also tends to struggle with hosts who aren’t completely easy to put on the page, but when they had her husband crash her monologue and finish the last half with her, I wondered if they had decided she couldn’t do comedy. Some people, even well-known comedians, tend to fit into SNL

Perkins? He’s like a thousand years old. He’s not thinking that sketch is about him. Just an olde that can’t keep up with what everyone is called.

Carey Mulligan has been absolutely killing it since the Doctor Who episode “Blink”; I love that her work has constantly taken the most surprising twists and turns- Drive, Promising Young Woman, Great Gadsby, Shame, etc.

I don’t watch a lot of game shows, but I seriously love any game show parody that SNL features. Aside from the many celebrity impersonations, I can always count on the combination of surreality and banality that the entertainment form inspires. Contestants (in this case, Redd) who don’t seem sure why they are even

Belushi: <smash> Sorry, man.

Another review for Lesbian Period Drama:  

I usually hate the rap videos but the flute thing made me laugh.

As soon as we saw Carey Mulligan’s husband (I had no idea she was married to the Mumford guy; I thought he was one of those guys who had the beards that are half-emo, half-ZZ Top, not...adorable sitcom dad) join her for much of her monologue, I had a feeling they were telegraphing that she wouldn’t be thrown into

So Marcus Mumford was surprisingly funny.

“Mulligan’s pretty classmate is so passively manipulatable while McKinnon takes very obvious cellphone advice on how to win her over”

Was really surprised that considering Mulligan is know to a lot of Americans for her Doctor Who connection that there wasn’t something about that, like having someone dressed as a weeping angel spooking her during the opening monolog.
