"Lorne Michaels is producing the series, which will air live, because people never, ever learn."

Oh, I don't lament it at all. I enjoy having every encyclopedia at my fingertips. We owned a set of World Book Encyclopedias when I was a kid, and for five or six years I actually added the update tabs. When I wanted to look for magazine articles to do research for a school report, I had to go to the library and…

" don't understand how this reviewer consistently stumps for her"

Leslie Jones is the reason that the DVR and the fast-forward button were invented. Not because of commercials, no: it was people who looked into the future and realized that Leslie Jones would one day be inexplicably put front and center on "Saturday Night Live".

I still think that Saturday Night Live helped get George W. Bush president. Bush got drawn as likeable and goofy while Al Gore got drawn as boring and dull.

An endless source of comedy! (And of course, a white person making jokes about how lame white people are is obviously cool.)

Not long ago I watched a "Cheers" episode where a whole plot revolved around the gang arguing about Sam Malone's batting average. Now they could just look it up on their phones. Not to mention that the internet has made bar know-it-alls like Cliff extinct.

She is terrible, terrible, terrible. A mystery how she got any job in front of a camera. She must have some really excellent blackmail material against Lorne Michaels and Paul Feig.

I recorded the show last night. It's comforting to hear that Leslie Jones continues to make my viewing of Saturday Night Live shorter, by continuing to be the worst, and taking up Weekend Update time with a performance I can fast-forward through. Between that and fast-forwarding through everything related to Kanye…

Yes.

Seriously. Poor Amy Lindsay, just trying to work.

That's the problem, the sense is too broad. A porn actress gets fucked and gives blow jobs in front of a camera. A soft core actress takes her clothes off and moans ecstatically. Way different. As was noted upthread it's not really that different from a mainstream actress doing a sex scene, except Amy Lindsay did…

Google is telling me that both of the men lynched for the murder of Brooke Hart were white.

"Masterpiece" doesn't seem adequate, really. My goodness, the rooftop chase and the shot where Charlie embraces the boy…wow.

???

I agree with all other posters in this thread who are irritated that softcore is being called "porn" as if Amy Lindsay and Jenna Jameson had the same job.

Kira Reed, unlike Ms. Lindsay, did actual porn as opposed to softcore. Although hers was exclusively on her website. I subscribed for a while. Holy cow was Kira Reed hot back in the day.

I remember the "South Park" episode that made fun of the Sundance Film Festival when Cartman made the joke about all the movies being gay cowboys eating pudding.

Man, Al Pacino. Remember how he screamed "IN MY HOME! WHERE MY WIFE SLEEPS!" in Godfather II? And how that was so effective because he was so calm and dispassionate for the rest of those two movies?

It's hype. That's all it is. Just as Kim Kardashian is apparently the sexiest woman ever because her hype machine says she is, so much Kanye West, a largely untalented rapper, be a great musical genius.
