I loved it. It was cool of Gylenhaul to immediately address the elephant in the room..

. the whole gay thing. I thought he handled it beautifully, by doing the gayest possible bit - a broadway tune in drag.

I respect the dude for having the security to prove he isn't gay by referencing his gay movie with a super gay drag scene. I think it was clever because it wasn't the obvious choice.
Lasercats rules because it is the stupidest thing on the planet.

It is even more sophmoric than the Sandler and Breur years. That is what is cool about it. They never pretend for a second that it is good theatre.

They take pains to make the special effects insulting to the viewers. Great! If i want real sci-fi I will watch one of the 30 Star Wars movies.

SNL's duty is to deliver stupid and silly. Well played.
The rest, as usual, was just ok.

As always, the news part is the high point. I was kind of disappointed by the Shins. Though I enjoy their music, that was the most boring performance I have ever seen.

I think maybe Beck set a new standard of excellence so high it may not be achieved again for years.
Anyhow, those are my two cents. As always, I watched the show off the DVR on about a 30 minute delay.

the purpose is to be able to fast forward through painfully bad skits...

like 'Stock Footage Awards'. Funny premise, and the first 60 seconds were clever. After that.

.. it just dragged.


If you ever need a night off from watching SNL, drop me a line. I never ever miss it. Generally, I am only really dazzled about once a show.

.. but those moments are priceless to me.
