The Golden Era: Jimmy Fallon, Tina Fey, Chris Farley, Will Ferrell…some old people

Five Stars: “Trivial Pursuit SNL Edition is fun. There’s over 2000 questions about Saturday Night Live. Don’t buy it if you have been watching it for less than 10 years because most of the questions are about old sketches, cast members and characters. The DVD part is a lot of fun because you get clues to the questions, your timed and the game goes a lot faster. If you like Saturday Night Live and you have been watching it for a while you should buy this game.”[empahsis, mine]

Dating is Fine. Marriage, apparently, is problematic

“Does President Bush have a “mandate” for his second term? You would think that a man closing in on 60 million votes might be in a strong political position, but that’s not what many influential liberals and leftists are arguing this week.
Mandate, schmandate, they say.”
WHAT W WON, John “Norman’s Son” Podhoretz, The New York Post, Nov. 9, 2004.
Hey Johnboy, are schmandates frum? (Not that Frum, jagoff.)

Further Thoughts on Wayne Llewellyn, President of Distribution at Paramount

From today’s New York Times:

Wayne Llewellyn, the president of distribution at Paramount, said that the conservative ethos reflected in last week’s election results might have hurt [Alfie].
“It could be the mood of the country right now,” he said. “It seems to be the result of the election.”


But Alfie’s lackluster o.b.o. wasn’t the only thing to come out of this election. A look at some of November 2nd’s lesser publicized consequences:
DVD sales of Farenheit 911 dropped significantly.
The third season of Reno 911? Totally put on hold.
Jonathan Safran Foer’s drunken boast – “I’m so getting out of this fascist country” – now repeated ad infinitum to friends.
David Blaine’s healing powers significantly diminished. Street magic, however, is promised to continue.
I might have, just totally randomly, you know, just hooked up with this other girl, but it totally stopped before, you know… I can’t believe this election.
Syria? That shit’s on.
And remember how I said you should move in with me? It’s just that after this whole election thing, I don’t know if that’s really a great idea. In light of the election.
John Kerry unlikely to become President on January 20. American government largely overrun by crypto-fascist evangelicals.
I’m in love with someone else. Election.

“Paramount’s “Alfie,” a remake of a romantic comedy about a roguish womanizer starring Jude Law, opened to a dismal $6.5 million in more than 2,000 theaters, far below expectations… Wayne Llewellyn, the president of distribution at Paramount, said that the conservative ethos reflected in last week’s election results might have hurt the film.
“‘It could be the mood of the country right now,’ he said. ‘It seems to be the result of the election. Maybe they didn’t want to see a guy that slept around.'”
