“The Nelly track to which she contributed an iconic chorus is more than 20 years old...”

Wait, so you’re telling me that the actor who was in a bad movie actually wanted to make a good movie?

I still don’t understand why you folks don’t just...recap The Daily Show. You do theoretically still do recaps--nothing I’m remotely interested in these days, but I’ve read the headlines. Framing this as “news”--in that it's news that an episode of TV aired, I guess?--and publishing it to the newswire is just an odd…

You can just say fuck.

The issue with that is that it’s, well, live, so there’s a strong incentive to sttrreeetttccchh out the sketches so that the crew has the time to set up the next one.

Actually, Day-Lewis was just deep into research for Mike Leigh’s upcoming Normal Football Bloke.

Or the joke could’ve been that she genuinely provided excellent service and the other servers were actually hilariously incompetent. A bunch of directions they could’ve gone besides “the lady has big boobs and guys like big boob ladies.”

I’m reminded as well of Lindsay Lohan’s “Hermione has boobs now” sketch.

“Having the preternaturally charismatic Glen Powell pop up not once but twice throughout Saturday’s show...”

Ha, it’s interesting watching criticism swing back around the other way because people have been griping for decades about the show’s overreliance on recurring characters/bits. And, indeed, for every “Wayne’s World” and “Celebrity Jeopardy” there is a “Target Lady” and “Makin’ Copies.” But I see your point--everything…

A current trend I absolutely loathe is doing a commercial or film parody or what have you and then, via voiceover, explicitly and repeatedly explaining what they’re parodying and why. E.g., “Lesbian Period Drama”:

“ABC News reports this weekend that Neeson’s remake of the long-running cop comedy franchise has now been officially set for a July 2025 by Paramount Pictures, with The Lonely Island’s Akiva Schaffer directing.)”

I don’t know, it kind of works for me. She’s already got very strong features, so it makes sense in a “leaning into it” sort of way.

What a genuinely, upsettingly asinine headline. “Ah, man, I know we want all the juicy details about this scandal involving someone getting shot to death on a movie set, but this shit’s starting to get kinda heavy. Drag.”

I don’t watch trash TV for trash people, so I have no idea what any of this is about, but “Ariana Madix” kind of already sounds like a porn name.

Ha, and I’m here to complain about the tired “Tom Nook is an evil capitalist” take. The dude builds you a house plus multiple additions (overnight!) and then extends you indefinite, interest-free loans that you can pay back with twigs, rocks, and bugs, if you so choose. I'd like to see people trying to pull the same…

I see no problem with this.

Oh, sorry, I interpreted that “rich tapestry” line as being in the same misguidedly snarky tone as the rest of the piece. Oh, wow, look at Bridgit Mendler bragging about her PhD and her new company and her family. I’m really excited to write about her.

“And, as if that wasn’t news enough, she also became a mom via fostering to adopt. Life is truly a rich tapestry if you’re Bridgit Mendler.”

“Mendler’s work on the channel was extremely beloved by her generation of Disney viewers.”
