I wonder if Sarah Jessica Parker’s character in New Year’s Eve will finally let herself go and wear something chic; that’s something I’d like to see from her, as an actress, for sure. WATCH OUT, UNTRODDEN GROUND, THIS MOVIE IS HEADED YOUR WAY

Hello, old-school monster “K” here. Maybe people might listen to a story I just told on the Risk! podcast? It’s intercut with a story by Soft Gabe! Here it is:

Or, you could just watch these elephants save a baby elephant, NBD:

You are straight killing it today if killing it means writing comments I agree with

I don’t think it’s being marketed this way so much as audiences/average people are saying things like this about it. Also, the movie is, in my opinion, in no way trying too hard to be in any kind of boys club; it was an honest and fun depiction of what real women are like.

Exactly.

Did you guys know this is based on a true story?

WHAT?? I’m surprised. Vanessa Bayer is GREAT; very talented and maybe one or two things haven’t hit, but her impressions and characters/parts are generally awesome. Same for all the new Chicagoans.

Re: Jay Pharoah, I really don’t understand why so many people don’t like him. I agree that he hasn’t gotten comfortable doing the variety of things others are doing on the show, but he is clearly very perceptive (you have to be to nail nuances in impressions like he does) and very talented. As per Nightmare’s comment about him hopefully not getting invited back: hiring someone for a 6 month to a year stint and then firing them is seriously the most bizarre thing ever, and really ignores the fact that MANY SNL performers grow into their best work. Hiring someone and expecting them to be AMAZING IN EVERYTHING IMMEDIATELY is an exercise in futility. Granted many of the performers have been doing awesome work for years before being hired, but it’s a leap from that to SNL and I honestly feel that the show is enriched by Pharoah being there. He is genuinely a different voice that is suprising and fun now and could easily grow to be incredible.
