That scene where people say asshole-y things to her didn’t sound all that “masterful”. It does sound like so far this show is just “showing up”. I want to watch it because I like Aidy, but the previews were cringy.

maybe. but i’m not wrong.

so like.... we all know this person is going to die relatively young, likely after years of painful complications (that they likely will be unable to treat properly, given the poor state of health care in the US) and likely in a painful manner, right?

to me this is like someone told you they were an alcoholic but had…

You gave it a B.

YOU FOOLS! DO YOU REALLY THINK YOUR PUNY LITTLE MOVIE COULD EVER DO JUSTICE TO DR. DOOM!? DOOM REQUIRES THE FINESSE AND ARTISTIC FREEDOM THAT ONLY A COMIC BOOK PAGE COULD EVER ALLOW HIM TO PROPERLY EXPRESS THE GENIUS AND POWER OF DOOM! ALSO, DO YOU THINK HE WOULD EVER ALLOW SUCH A PROJECT TO BE COMPLETED WITHOUT HIS…

The scene where Freddie Mercury was talking and Brian May suddenly yelled out “Citation Needed!” was kind of jarring, I must admit. 

Hey, where’s the Cumtown guy? His comments got deleted last week. First time I recall seeing that happen in the Gawker Media Empire Redux.

Gene’s refusal to say “Suck me, suck me very dick” because it would be disrespectful to Elvis is one of the funniest, purest things I’ve ever heard on a podcast.

That episode was a trainwreck until my man Gene showed up.

I wonder if any podcasts had Gene DiNapoli on as a guest this past week. Would be pretty sweet if they did. Yep, that would be preeeeetty sweet.

This site pulls hard for Leslie and gives her passes they wouldn’t afford any other SNL performer who botches lines like she does. 

As far as Leslie Jones engaging in a “blown-line contest” on this episode, come on...she does it in every sketch since she’s started. Sam Kinison once summed up Whoopi Goldberg in one scathing sentence: “A nation collectively decides not to hurt someone’s feelings”. Totally applies with Leslie...there must be hundreds…

“Leslie, bless her heart”

In an otherwise mediocre episode, Beck Bennett screaming “Somebody love me!!!” might be the perfect encapsulation of this SNL season.

If you put aside its volatile politics, Get Out was a strong, solid, flawed, debut. It’s not the masterpiece people wanted it to be because of its message, and I think a lot of people were cowed into praising it for fear of outlandish accusations if they critiqued it fairly. I mean, consider all the classic films that…

It reminds me a little if how Shymalan was priclaimed as ‘The New Spielberg’ and how that level of hype ultimately sank him (for a while at least).

I’ve been thinking a lot about this recently. I saw an article from WSJ calling Jordan Peele “The New Master of Suspense,” and I wondered how the hell he managed to become so ubiquitous on the merit of a single film. Get Out was fantastic, of course, but I’ve never been sure it’s enough to proclaim him a genius just…

Hahahaha. Women thought they would be immune from MeToo hysteria.

Time to worry about all those times you touched a dude without his permission when you were drunk and out dancing, Brenda.
