I'll defend Molly Shannon to death. But yea, the new crop didn't really find their footing until Tina Fey took over Weekend Update.

It reminds me of a lame public access comedy show my ex-girlfriend used to be on. The premise of the skit was two characters just saying the phrase "Assrape" over and over in conversation.

Jim Breuer has a great bit about first getting hired for SNL with "The New Cast" that leads into a great anecdote about Norm MacDonald that I won't spoil here, but there's one moment I find telling:

You once were a vegone! Now you will BE GONE!

"Scott Pilgrim" was one of the most unique theater experiences I'd ever had, because while I had read all six books up until that point, I brought my best friend who knew nothing about the series. So you had one person who knew everything, and one person going in fresh, and we're both laughing equally at the same…

FUCK YOU that's his policy (or so it seems)

Ugh God Janine's re-design was such a bummer. I love Kath Soucie in almost anything but she was NOT right for the re-casting. Janine was at her foxiest with the big hair, big glasses, and "don't give a fuck" attitude.

Bush was vacation for a quarter of his first term. I'd be curious to see how much he'd gotten done before 9/11 happened. Since 9/11 defined so much of his presidency, I'd be curious to see how things would have turned out for him otherwise.

The big multi-million dollar fantasy epic ends with fifteen minutes of hardcore penetrative gay sex.

Reminds me of a great point Patton Oswalt brought up: you can't by any measure call George W. Bush a good President. But in terms of being an EFFECTIVE President, he managed to push through every horrible agenda he wanted. Meanwhile Obama wanted to give everyone healthcare and he got called a commie Muslim homosexual.

Agreed. My concern is this though: even if Trump loses, the people who supported him aren't going to go away. I'm not interested in writing them off as idiots or degenerates. I'm curious what made them desperate and angry enough to support a man like Trump in the first place.

I call this trend "the echo chamber", and we all exist in it today whether we like it or not. A lot of my friends are baffled anyone's voting for Trump. I tell them it's because no one in your circle supports Trump's policies. You go across the board on social media to Trump supporters, they can't fathom why someone…

Oh yea! Or avoiding a new sub-weapon with more terror than you would the monsters. "Oh shit an axe! Don't move! Maybe it'll go away!"

I don't know if you'd call it cheating (I call it playing smart), but I was one of those guys who would fight tooth and nail to keep the Holy Water and Triple Shot in "Castlevania" so I could paralyze and spam both Death and Dracula during their boss fights.

As a creative person, I lament Cimino's death in a unique way.

I'd go in for Season 7 myself, because they clearly intended to end it there. Unfortunately, nothing ever ends at Fox.

I felt similarly about "Collateral." The film should have ended with Jamie Foxx and Tom Cruise crashing that taxi. Instead it keeps going into the "Rear Window" rip-off.

I'm a huge Incubus fan, and my favorite album by them is "A Crow Left of the Murder." Thing though it has two ballads ("Southern Girl" and "Here In My Room") that would have been perfect to end the album on, but both times it goes on into some really weak tracks. If they'd cut the album by three or four songs it'd be…

Read Kevin Murphy's book "A Year at the Movies." He talks about the audience audibly groaning in the theater when its revealed just to be a winged demon. Someone literally said out loud "They ruined the movie."

Then you had the new cast. And the New York episodes. And moving back to Lima. Should have been called "Shark Jumping and You!"
