Saturday Night (Jason Reitman, October 11th 2024) • Page 3

Also I'm sorry Dylan O'Brien. He pulled it off

 

So I’m not super familiar with the background of the origins of the show. I thought this was very enjoyable. Constant chaos the whole time. A few moments of inflated self-importance but overall I really liked it. Also the Jim Henson tweet from the last page is wildly overdramatic.

 

Yeah, I had a great time. Most of the performances are very solid. Lots of laughs. Didn’t like how rosy it got with the supposed rebel genius of Lorne and everyone being very lovey-dovey at the end, but it is what it is. Good stuff. Genuinely don’t know what Vikram is talking about and again, those Henson sketches were very uncool/dogshit.

 

i didn't love this but i'm kinda glad it isn't worse than it is. cory michael smith mvp, i think

 

I love how much this movie hates Chevy Chase lol

 

How much screentime does Michael O'Donoghue get? He's a really fascinating person and I hope it's more than like a brief cameo, especially for how important he was to the first season

 

Thought this was good not great. I think I would have liked a movie about the month or so leading up to the first episode and not just 90 minutes before the first episode.

 

Man this really worked for me. Had a really fun time with it

 

Would die and/or kill for Gilda Radner I think

 

Gilda or Ella Hunt’s Gilda?

 

I’m gonna say both

 

Currently also watching the first episode of the show

 

Awooga x2

 

Took me a bit to get used to the impressions but really enjoyed it once I did.

Aykroyd and O’Donohue were the highlights for me.

 

Yeah Dylan O’Brien needs to be in more stuff. He’s good.

 

If Aykroyd is saying it’s accurate then there’s no way it’s remotely close to what really happened.

 

Is he a known liar or what

 

He’s not, like, Hulk Hogan level. But he doesn’t let the truth get in the way of a good story.

 

I went and watched the very first SNL episode and jesus Christ it was bad. I also can’t really imagine it actually being *that* hectic given that most of the ep is either multiple lengthy stand-up monologues, one of the multiple musicians performing, or the Jim Henson muppet sketch that moves at a glacial pace. The actual main cast is simply not much of a presence on-screen

 

Chevy said a few weeks ago that the actual opening night was very calm haha

But yes, the first episode is interesting. Notably, most of the commercials are like the softest satire you can imagine.

 

Is this starting late for anyone else?

 

Where do you think you are

 

god this fucking sucked
