Come for a lifetime achievement award.

I wonder how many people turned the show off after the cold open and monologue, which I thought were pretty bland. They would have missed an overall strong show, but I would not have begrudged them for thinking “if this is the best they can do, the rest of this show must be some real shit.”

Yeah the comedy here was from bringing real world reactions and consequences into the commercial’s absurd scenario. And then when it seemed to plateau with that, it brought in the neighbor and the extra plotlines to just keep going over the top. I loved this whole bit.

I wonder if Chalamet would like to do more comedic roles, and that this was his opening to show people what he could do. He was funnier than a lot of the comedy-centric hosts they have had on this show in recent years.

I agree that this felt like the strongest episode in quite a while. The cold open and monologue were a boring start and may have lost some viewers, but everything after that was worthwhile. (Well, WU was just kind of okay, maybe the weakest WU we’ve had in a while.) Non-comedian Chalamet was a surprisingly good host…

Pretty sure that H.R. Ginger is the formal name of Harry Prince of Wales.

I assume WB’s remedy is to suspend production of the CYBORG movie and stop working with a squeaky wheel like Ray Fisher. That would save them a lot of money and drama in the future.

I dunno, man, I enjoy a good Yank-wash every now and then.

They could always handle that by flashbacks in a future film, or via what amounts to a prequel. Frankly I’m happy when Marvel changes up the structure of these films and tells stories in a different way.

Jake Lloyd is apparently only 5'5"!

How do they get Tom Hanks into a PINOCCHIO film and *not* cross it over with Woody from TOY STORY?

Yeah there are a *ton* of low-budget COVID-19-inspired movies shot and released this year from all corners of the globe. I guess none of the AV Club writers download bootleg movies and see all the schlock that’s available.

Baby Yoda will use the Force to dislocate his jaw enough to devour Cara Dune.

Not with this, I mean, not using one of Chadwick Boseman’s last performances seems like a waste.

Should we assume that whatever “multiverse” type thing Watts is setting up in SPIDERMAN 3 is going to directly lead into the reboot setup for his own F4 movie (and XMEN, etc)?

The moms of yesteryear who ate that shit up are the grandmas of today who will eat this shit up.

Yeah I’m like “What about Jake Lloyd?” You’d need to put him on stilts, but I’m pretty sure that dude is more intimidating than Hayden these days.

Sounds like the rumors were true and Chadwick Boseman was able to record his lines for this. I was wondering if Marvel would use this occasion to recast the character, but I assume this means they’ll deal with that later.

Jedi Knight Rider (Obi Wan and his droid who converts into a landspeeder travel the galaxy to right wrongs)

I came into this thread expecting to see some announcement about a harder, weirder sequel to the NATIONAL TREASURE movies, which were actually a lot of fun, and which had an ending in the second film that practically *begged* for some really cool followup films.
