Yep I remember that bit. Of the many ways to film a scene, that’s definitely one of them.

Katie Cassidy’s characters always got screwed over, I guess this movie kind of prepared her for that

“if the premise of “older guy you wouldn’t expect to be an action star” was good in 2009 when he was in his 50s, then it only gets better a whole lot sillier as he gets older.”

Go to any comments section on an article about airline travel and you’ll see it’s still absolutely socially acceptable to mock fat people. You’re not alone, my dude. Body positivity didn’t make that evaporate.

i don’t think the target of the sketch was really who you thought it was, the short kings were all nice and normal and reasonable but she threw that all away in the blink of an eye and went for the obvious nightmare / moron / scumbag just cause he was tall

The skit would be more realistic if the woman was herself shorter than all the short men.

It’s the accent. I’ve never seen this guy in anything so I didn’t expect it. It’s a strange phenonemon. A guy can go from “3" to a “7" with the right accent. Scottish guys especially. I saw an entire conference full of women academics lose their shit when one of the - maybe 15 - guys (a Scottman in Kentucky) opened…

‘”What is PDD?”’

I totally agree. Most of the short guys I know make out like gangbusters. And none of them seem slightly bothered by it. Confidence is appealing.

Michael J Fox and Tom Cruise seem to do ok. Buck up little camper! You got a gal who loves you! It’s not height but confidence that people are attracted to. You ever watch an old James Cagney movie and wonder how the smallest guy on the screen ran the gang? Self-possession and confidence! (ALSO— in the gangster sense—…

There was.

It’s so weird to me that it’s totally OK to base an entire SNL episode around sexualizing a dude. Would it be OK if the host was like, Emma Stone (who is inarguably beautiful) and every skit was about how much all the male cast members wanted to bang her?? That’s essentially what you got with this episode. WTF is…

is he handsome or is he just tall?

I notice you didn’t mention the bowling sketch, and that’s probably for the best. It had a couple of funny lines, but the premise itself is a little wtf and it went on for way too long, with a silly (unfunny kind of silly) conclusion.

I’m sorry you don’t fit into Hollywood’s definition of ideal. Welcome to the vast majority of men and women on the planet. But please - being a short guy is not a “disability.” I’ve dated plenty of them. And now, thanks to M.S., I have an actual mild disability, and apparently dating was removed from the table…

Jacob Elordi is one of those rare actors who is so strikingly good-looking that it is almost absurd. Not leaning into that would have been a huge miss. They do the same with Ryan Gosling and it works.

It must take a lot time to write on those small pills.

Pretty sure most articles here are written on Ambien.

What? Nooo, that can’t be on Ambien. It’s not racist enough!

Never messed with Ambien but I have written my fair share of shitty incomprehensible Letterboxd reviews while high. I usually end up deleting them.
