I actually saw this last night, and it reminded me why
I never watch SNL anymore, even if I'm around when it's
on ... they have a guy doing a great impression of DDL
in TWBB, and they squander it on a terribly conceived and
written sketch. SNL so often comes down to funny people
doing unfunny things. Great impression, horrible sketch.
me, too.
seriously.
Not to mention...They're back from the writer's strike, and the first sketch after the monologue is a ROCK OF LOVE parody??? Way to mail that shit in guys.
so i just learned from the OSCARS that it was based on a novel by Upton Sinclair and was ready to feel really dumb if that was the title, but then i found out from the internet that Sinclair's novel is called Oil! (exclamation included)
i must not be reading the right TWBB threads.
blame this guy.

youz guys need to watch it with the sound off. last night while i was here at the club i was watching that shit snd it LOOKED funny.
O RLY?
i can't believe i just sat through 2 of those enchanted song performances without slitting my wrists. (sorry h***)
That's the thing - I was laughing at first, just because
the impression was good and everyone looked funny ... but
like so many SNL sketches, once the jokes started it just went
nowhere and people were reading cue cards poorly and I got bored.
After the digital short that SoI is referencing, we went to bed.
3:10 to Yuma was garbage sold as art. I went in with high hopes given the reviews. The ending was bullshit. Just a by-the-numbers shoot out. Nothing special about the direction or acting.
They're playing some boring tribute to old movies..

you missed the montage tribute to "waking up from a bad nightmare"
my favorite was frank sinatra in the manchurian candidate
... AKA the only reason I watch the Oscars
