They’re making a movie about SNL and how comedy is actually deeply serious.
I sometimes think about that norm McDonald quote that goes something like “Calling comedians modern day philosophers is incredibly hurtful to the actual modern day philosophers - Philosophers.”
Getting rid of the trailer voiceover guys made movie trailers worse, because now they have to put in terrible exposition dialogue like “your staff is full of twenty year olds who have no idea what they’re doing! They want you to fail.” And, like, I have no idea if lines that bad are actually in the movie, but it gives the impression that they are which makes me less likely to see it. Bring back the voiceover guys to just tell the audience stuff about the movie.
Also, it’s weird and maybe kind of sad that Jason Reitman is just making a movie about the things his dad and his dad’s friends were doing in the 70s. Like, we stopped making new culture so we just have to go over old shit that old comedians did forever. Maybe I’m off about this, but I don’t think the Murray/Aakroyd/Reitman/Belushi-era comics were making movies about, like, the Marx brothers making their first movie or whatever. They just made their own movies.
Yeah Dan Akroyd made movies about ghosts and aliens and stuff, and I doubt he’s ever made anything that wasn’t about that
I mean he did rather famously also make an SNL movie.
Dan Akroyd? Never heard of it
Well he made Nothing But Trouble which is about…uh, something.
Cocaine and speeding tickets, mostly
Just make a Jim Henson biopic full of chill vibes and love and leave the others behind.
I wanna see the Aaron Sorkin version of this
Would you believe it already happened? Look up Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.
You would think it would have a lot of snappy dialogue, but it’s actually just 92 minutes of the “more cowbell” sketch
our onanistic culture continues its spiral into venerating the creation of successful capitalist products
The whole point of comedy is that it’s unserious. Lmao
The people excited about the first season of SNL are too old to go watch movies by themselves what is this
