agree.  the dialog is razor sharp.

otoh this show has factual accuracy on the bottom of it's priority list (gloriously so) and makes no bones about it.
top of the list is hilariously obscene insults.
me like.

JLD f-ing rules.  
full stop.

meeeehzzzzzzzz.
i'm hangin in there for ya carm.

i think it's not so much that humor is subjective in general but that SNL even at it's best has always been patchy as hell so responses are always going to be a bit haphazard depending on the mood of the reviewer.  when people think of the "best" years of snl i think they are remembering those "best of" compilations…

old hoodrats never die they just fade away

Hoodrats: now and forever.

don't get me wrong…if it's good i will be nothing but pleased.

i know i'm stating the obvious (and likely this has already been commented on below) but ann's entrance interview of ron at the hospital had me frickin rolling.
ann: "for date of birth you wrote 'springtime'"
ann: "do you have any history of mental illness in your family?"
ron:  "I have an uncle who does yoga"
etc….
classic…

well i will undoubtedly read it out of curiosity but for me the shining as a book has a very satisfying arc and something about the idea of 2013/14 king revisiting him as a grown up sounds lame.  It's like "sooo….what happened to hansel and gretel when they were 50?"  
that said king did a marvelous job of showing…

as was R Crumb if i'm not mistaken.

truly horrible.
king is just the worst at adapting his own work.
sidenote: cronenberg mentioned in an interview that numerous writers took a shot at adapting the dead zone and that king's script was by far the worst version.

yes to that.

totally agree.
the casting of kubrick's shining was iconic and perfect.  i can't imagine a different actor in any of the parts.
shelley duvall was razzed at the time but her performance works very well indeed….the hot blond from the tv version just makes Duvall look that much more interesting of a choice.

"the furries"
i can see the marquee already.

the shining really does not require a prequel or (sorry steve) a sequel.
some stories are cyclical, epic, or simply too complex to be restricted to one novel/film but the shining surely is not one of them.
i really don't look forward to grown up danny using his psychic powers for good, etc.

i guess my worry is that he's not really saying anything at all and that it's all just whimsical flowing images with nothing that profound TO understand …which is ok for what it is but is pretty much the definition of superficial.
the other thing which troubles me about his recent work is that (perhaps) the reason so…

aside: best yorke interview i've heard was done by alec baldwin on his wnyc interview show "here's the thing" a couple weeks ago.  remarkably candid and interesting.
one surprising tidbit: yorke's first musical idol/inspiration was brian may of queen.

maybe…but definitely this ep in particular stuck out to me.

celebrity death match: taylor vs LL!
it's gonna be bad ass.
