We’re starting off strong [...] the return of the unhinged Colleen Rafferty

It just seems like a cheap way to get laughs from the audience. Because it’s almost guaranteed to work.
“there’s no Gilly”
Useless fact! YouTube served me up Wiig guesting on Conan O’Brien’s podcast, and she says that Aunt Linda was based on someone she saw on an airplane who watched The Matrix and kept making “Whaaaa?” sounds.
It’s Paula, not Paul. It’s file cabinet, not fine cabinet. Other than that, great review.
It’s hard to know what things you come across online are genuine and what’s just trolling, but I’ve seen young people post, with apparent sincerity, that it’s morally wrong to have sexual fantasies about a real person without their consent. Which: apart from being some kind of new hyper-puritanism, how would that…
Sweeney tackled hers head on. That MAGA-themed 60th birthday for her mom? Check. That viral TikToker who falsely claimed to be the actress’s nutritionist? Check. (“I’m in shape because I run, avoid sugar, and do Ozempic.”) And those rumors that she had an on-set affair with her Anyone but You co-star Glen Powell?…
Can we get this bitch a donut?
That’s ageism. Lorne getting cranky got nothing to do with this type of sketches. As SNL been doing this to hot guests for ages. The most blatant one was in the 90s at the height of Sharon Stone stardom. In one of the sketch she shed her clothes down to her underwear at the gawking of the comedians and comedienne.…
I legit don’t understand the acclaim for her acting — from both women and men, so it's not just her boobs. She’s so flat and breathy in everything I've seen her in. Feels like it's the Blake Lively effect - the pretty blonde girl in a show popular with the younger generation gets picked by the execs to be the next…
Having taught Gen z college kids for a few years, I can absolutely say that they are not nearly as sex forward as they present. Like, they conceptually understand that being sex positive is a good thing, they know how to sound sex positive, but have absolutely no concept of what that means on a fundamental level. Put…
IMHO she is this generations pretty white blonde girl with nice rack. She’s not ugly by any means but she is definitely a type for a lot of people. Sixteen year old me would have studied her work extensively.
I honestly am utterly baffled by how so many people online are utterly obsessed with this woman’s attractiveness. She has larger than average breasts. That’s it. Everything else is average.
For the Hooters sketch to function at a higher level, she should have been the waitress who no one wanted for some reason, with Bowen as the favorite. I also wanted to see the Sydney Sweeney Todd sketch.
These are all freakishly talented and funny people at SNL, but for the life of me I can’t understand why they always always always go for the lowest hanging fruit in their sketch jokes. Like dude, it’s like all their writing is just “what’s the first thing I think of? Cool let’s write the whole week based on that.”
Stop reading, or do you just like being outraged and ranting?
You do realize you can be an awful person for making jokes, right?
I would say the character work is a strength of the movie. It’s not JUST a satire - it’s also telling different stories about the Black experience through the larger cast. I very much appreciated taking the time to let these characters breathe and be. To me, it’s an A-. The ending doesn’t quite work, but I can’t…
I’m not a Lanthimos super-fan (though I liked The Favourite a good deal), but this has been my most highly anticipated movie for a while now, it just looks fantastic and odd and hilarious, and I’m loving the stylized visuals that we’ve seen in the trailers. Can’t wait to see this (I don’t think it will be coming to my…
I was sold on this movie the moment Emma Stone said ‘Excuse me, I must go punch that baby’ in the trailer.
