I definitely think you can feel it in how a lot of movies aren’t as visually dynamic or inventive. Less “oh, that’s a one-r.” and way more handheld that cuts okay but doesn’t feel deliberate.

JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX is like if Doug Yule made METAL MACHINE MUSIC.

One of the things about long running franchises is that most people don’t interrogate them. Batman, Bond, both incredibly stupid and silly (and outdated). But saying that pisses people off because they grew up with it and don’t really want to. Also explains southern politics.

What’s kinda fascinating about SATURDAY NIGHT is something like that would normally be about launching performers. Though Reitman has some name recognition, the selling point here is SNL and its mythos. Part of me thinks he should have done it with the current SNL cast.

Kris Kristofferson was so cool if I handed him a glass of water I would dine out on having drinks with him for the rest of my life.

Gwyneth Paltrow is the female Mark Wahlberg.

Look, if you support Trump you are scum. If you support Trump you are scum.

If you have ever seen THE MOVIE ORGY, there is a callback that hits you like a punch to your chest. Imagine that happening, turning your head and seeing Bill Hader absolutely losing his shit.
