I’m never not gonna give something with Steve Martin and Martin Sheen in it a chance.

Some of the language is questionable but... He’s 100% correct and your attempt to say he’s an asshole actually made me like him more.

It’s WHAT year!?

Reined things in, not reigned.

I’ll be sure to add it to my list of listicles for movies with Rise in the title after the colon.

*whisper whisper*

HEY...I AM TRANSFORMING HERE. I AM TRANSFORMING HERE.

Isn’t it obvious? Transformers led to gentrification.

I don’t think he’s that talented but I’m afraid to be too critical because Michael Che will say something about my mother

The 90s were only 10 years ago. We need to give it a bit more time

I don’t think SNL will be better until Lorne Michaels (and perhaps the leadership under him) surrenders the reins. Even then, full creative freedom doesn’t guarantee quality, and quality doesn’t guarantee economic survival. SNL is a business and a NBC profit center at this point, that’s what is most likely to guide…

This entire movie was made for a Beastie Boys reference and I fear they’ll forget to include it.

I actually ripped myself off there. Back in the AV Club’s pre-Kinja glory days, there was a discussion about Gaslight in which someone mentioned that they’d never seen it, and I responded with. “Of course you’ve seen Gaslight. You saw it with me. How can you not remember that?” and honestly it’s one of my proudest…

But gaslighting has always meant that. Don’t you remember? You said so yourself, many times. Are you sure you’re OK? You’ve been acting very strangely lately. Maybe you should take a sedative and lie down. You’ve been under a lot of strain, and you seem to be forgetting a lot of things. 

Well, it has gone that route before. There was the year that the cast included Billy Crystal and Martin Short, who were already established stars. And the year after that, they went with Randy Quaid, Robert Downey, jr and Anthony Michael Hall, who had all been in some fairly big movies at that point. Quaid had even…

I can’t say I have anything particularly against the guy - I’ve never been a fan of wasting my energy hating things that aren’t actively problematic - but I also really, really don’t get why he’s as big as he is. He’s like this generation’s Shia Lebeouf - like, he’s not wholly without talent, but he keeps getting cast…

gotta hate something!

They need some of the veterans to actually leave the show at some point; as of now the only ones leaving are the featured players who are hired, given no airtime apart from a couple “Update” appearances and roles as “Cop #2", and are quietly shuffled out of sight at the end of the season (Brooks Whelan, we mourn you.)

it’s kind of cringe and is robbing the word of its impact

Nah, about 3 pounds.
