Saturday Night (Jason Reitman, October 11th 2024) • Page 2

Im all in.

 

Genuinely love that poster.

 

Love a hand-drawn poster.

 

Man, I really, really want this to be great. So far everything looks awesome

 

damn so some like it and some don’t

 

I watched that trailer several times and did not realize that was Paul Rust as Paul Shaffer until they talked about it on Gourley and Rust.

 

New trailer!!

 

Im in. LFG

 

Michael O'Donoghue at the end was great. I have heard stories that he was definitely that chaotic. Would not be shocked of he did actually do that to Jim Henson lol

 

Jason Reitman Advised 'Saturday Night' Stars Against Meeting SNL Cast

 

"This is deeply insulting to everyone it portrays. Chevy Chase was good though" is hysterical

 

Sounds like a typical Reitman film.

 

Seeing very mixed reactions to this. Tempering my expectations (which I should have done already because of the Reitman of it all).

 

Fennessey loved it fwiw

 

It could get a 0% on RT and I’d still go see it

 

I feel like I've seen significantly more positive reviews than negative ones? Lot of people calling this an Oscar contender (nominated at least, doubt it wins anything)

 

Ok but it is very well documented that the cast and writers hated doing the muppets sketches

 

And the sketches were absolutely unwatchable.

 

I will come back in and defend Jim Henson if they did handle it weird

 

I do not know or care about the lore so I can't speak on its accuracy but this was mostly quite good. Some moments where it felt like not everyone was fully there, specifically Hoffman and Braun (as Henson). No clue how a die hard fan of SNL/that era will take it but I enjoyed it
