Tonight's movie with the 24-year-olds was one I hadn't seen either (a first for us): ORDINARY PEOPLE. We all liked it. It is very sad. It isn't "slow," but you notice how much faster paced movies are now compared to 1980. Everyone's so great in it.

Totally, but hard to see works too. I didn’t mean it as a correction, just a funny thing about language.

You might think "see" and "watch" are synonyms, but a movie that's hard to see is much different from one that's hard to watch.

As soon as Trump was reelected, CEOs said, "Get me the list of all those rapists we fired, stat!"

For those who don't know, Max Landis is a rapist. His being a rapist got him "canceled" a few years ago, but being a rapist is now viewed as a positive quality, so here we are.

Sorry, that looks a lot like a podcast.

Do you guys do this routine in person? Any chance I can see it live?

So now when I'm in L.A. again, in April, I have to find the mayor and fight him or her.

I was in L.A. in October and apparently got a parking ticketβ€”"apparently" because it was not a literal ticket in the physical sense, but one they mail to you later. Except I never got the mail, either. What I got was a collection agency asking why I hadn't paid the ticket I hadn't gotten. Whee!

Question for NBC audio engineers: Will having a Heated Rivalry guy, Ryan Gosling, and Harry Styles host SNL three weeks in a row be too much high-pitched shrieking for the audience mics to handle? Shouldn't they throw a Paul Giamatti somewhere in there for balance?

How did Lorne decide which of the Heated Rivalry boys to have host SNL? Did he go with the one who is obviously more charming and interesting? Has the drawing of that distinction caused a rift between the two??

I'm disappointed that you apparently have to be told to watch SNL.

Think about the 7th entry in any horror franchise. Totally unwatchable, right? So if you were doing a meta-parody of horror franchises, you'd want your later entries to be just as bad. That's the genius of SCREAM.

I saw NIRVANNA THE BAND THE SHOW THE MOVIE knowing only that many reliable people had said it was funny, and they were right. Not laugh-a-minute, but audacious and surprising, with some great comedic situations. Very fun.

...and unfortunately, that director is buddies with the producer.

However many segments there are in your anthology, delete one.

Wait, they were still anti-left-handedness when you were in school?? I thought that ended before our time, but I guess it hadn't in the private schools?

I never watched the State of the Union even when I liked the president. I'm a college graduate and lifetime church-attender, I've heard enough lectures, thank you.

I have obtained tickets for THE BOOK OF MORMON on old Broad Way, and someone to see it with me, and our tickets are front row center so that my disapproving scowls and rebutting outbursts will be visible and audible to the actors.
