Saturday Night Live Amy Adams / One Direction Episode Discussion

learned:

* Dr. Evil: that thing where you're happy to see him again but sad cos it reminds you of when this show was watercooler good, brimming with potential, filled with memorable characters played by trained actors and actors in training, stacked with writers who could change U.S. policy with their skit pencils.

* critic me: Wiig and Armisen are good, but they're no Jimmy and Justin.
me: i love Kristen Wiig cos she's hot. Fred Armisen's corpsing is warm and inviting, when you see him laugh, you join in and laugh to, together as a family, very Harvey Korman.
critic me: that's biased.
me: no i'm not racist, but i tend to think a human's worth is more in the feelings than the mind.
critic me: without your mind, we couldn't be carrying on this conversation right now.
me: touche. you won the argument. how do you feel about this?

* Christmas Serial: hard-hitting investigative analysis here. but remember, the UPS guy could be lying cos his company is in direct competition with Santa. so, Christmas magic is Satanism, right? i really need to watch Serial. or hear it. see it. i'm always behind on the latest trends, i'm always so busy typing up tv-show reviews, busy with busywork. this holiday break will afford me time for Serial, the Lego Batman movie i picked up before Nymphomaniac and of course a perennial Christmas tradition at our house, A Christmas Story 2. all while eating Christmas cereal.

* One Direction:
Harry: entering his Stevie Nicks phase, every lead singer of every band has the Stevie Nicks dream.
Zayn: actually gets more tail than Harry but has to keep that to himself or the whole dynamic of the band will crumble.
Louis: see how he's all bug-eyed pronouncing the lyrics? he is so sick of this shit.
Niall: the serious musician of the group, he plays acoustic guitar.
Liam: Liam? that's his name? had to look him up, poor boy. hey, it'll be okay, look at Ringo now.

* raccoon sisters: i loved this, Keep SNL Weird, the crazier the better. heck just invite Tim & Eric to host and go full anti-comedy. the furries loved this skit, too, but secretly they wanted the roles reversed...

* goodnights: and i thought Martin Freeman's goodnights last week were terse. what's going on this week that everyone doesn't want to be at work?
