“You can’t be on SNL without being funny” is a good point, and actually a very sweet thing to say, and I appreciate the posivitism (sincerely). You probably don’t remember Melanie Hutsall, though...

Tina Fey showing up on Fallon’s show and essentially saying ‘there’s no reason why you - Mr. Fallon - should be held accountable for anything in your spoon-fed, insulated, privileged life’ made me realize how little I care about Tina Fey’s political hot takes, or her take on anything.

As I half-watched this all I could think was how much more effort the hair, makeup and wardrobe people seemed to be putting in than anyone else - the royal wedding sketch tried so hard to get the hair and the costumes right, at short notice, yet what they got in return was Mikey Day sounding more like a Dick Van Dyke…

Gardner’s great and I can see her being slotted into Kate’s role once she leaves for Hollywood

Why is Pete Davidson on this show?

How to get the good seats in the audience: Be an attractive young woman.

Everything about this episode was creaky, exhausted, tired. Felt like it was from at least ten years ago. “To Catch a Predator” skits, really? Sorry to say, Tina Fey seems to be mightily coasting on the past while pushing her Mean Girls Broadway show and dragging out the comedy ghost of Sarah Palin etc. Really? 3…

Simply addressing the fact that the show’s been including way too many cameos lately and making that the basis of the finale’s monologue doesn’t make it any better. Either this is Lorne’s bizarre attempt at trolling us or... yeah, that’s probably it.

I was standing in a vegan bar in Portland OR and a friend asked me to go see a movie with him. I replied “Okay, but I’m not seeing Moonrise Kingdon. I can’t stand Wes Anderson movies.’ and my pal responds that he too dislikes Wes Anderson movies.

That’s a good comparison- they both try really hard to be good actors but they just aren’t. 

Hm, I had only been thinking of his novels.

McConaughey has upped his game since the McConnaissance. He’s not just picking dead weight, middle-of-the-road action movies like Tom Cruise has been for the past 2 decades. (Though I will say that DiCaprio has always been a B+ actor who just Tracey Flicked his way to an Oscar)

Matthew McConaughey is the acting equivalent of a “hang out show”. He’s there to do his thing, not hurt anyone, be a Duke of Hazzard. Oddly, he enjoys the prestige that his spiritual twin (Woody Harrelson) truly deserves.

If A.A. Dowd is throwing dirt on The Shape of Water, I’m throwing a mountain onto Dallas Buyer’s Club. It’s not even McConaughey’s best role, and it’s definitely not a good performance, much less a great one. (Don’t ever get me started on Jared Leto’s garbage work there...)

What kind of a demon does it make me that my favorite Wes Anderson is The Fantastic Mr. Fox? I’ve seen most of his movies, liked most, admired them if only for their designs... but of all of them Fox is the one I’ve watched more than once.

Ahem. That’s Oscar winner Matthew McConaughey, peasant.

I strongly disagree re: Del Toro and Wilco, but the Tom Cruise pick is so dead-on. I’d also throw McConaughey in the mix.

This is going to be REALLY controversial, but I’m gonna name Wes Anderson. He has an impeccable eye and sense of design and style, but at the expense of anything approaching warmth or spontaneity, because it is all so designed and arch and calls attention to itself, and more and more he has become wrapped up in…

Yeah, especially in the show she has something of a tragic-villain quality — she’s clearly smarter and more capable than her dumbfuck husband and yet she actively helped to destroy not only her own potential but that of all other women instead of actually doing something constructive with it, and the result is that…

Don’t feel bad. My wardrobe screams “Lazy guy who shops at Target.”
