She always brings it on SNL.

doing it for me

Anne Hathaway would kill as The Wasp. Asking he to be Catwoman was the biggest misfire of Nolan's Batman trilogy.

I'm not watching a 30 second ad in order to watch a 30 second or less promo teaser
by Autodidact
Actually I pretty much won't watch a 30 second ad, ever.
-
It's not flattering. Androgynous looks are disturbing to me.

I thought for sure she would have ruined the movie, but she was actually able to turn herself off and be selina kyle, not anne hathaway trying to be julia roberts (as she is in 99 percent of her roles) TDKR turned out to be my favourite film of the summer and hathaway played a big part in making the film so good
-
It was Nolan who ruined it.
-
and so is she, apparently.

Instead of reruns, NBC should air the dress rehearsal version of that episode
by SifoDyasJr
But then again, this is the network that just ordered more episodes of Whitney, so expecting them to do something good for the viewers is crazy.

It's nice to see Pharoah and Killam take off this year.
by DougMcKenzie
The show was probably the closest since '82, and Eddie Murphy time, to being centred around one and one person only... that being the great Bill Hader. It is glaring how weak the current female repertoire is thou, probably the worst since '94 (Sweeney, Cleghorne, Hutsell).
-
Needs to show more cleavage to compensate, imo.
-
ahh feck it, her boobs are great

Ok, I haven't laughed at SNL in years but Lincoln was hilarious.
by ROBRAM89
-
Natch.
-
She is everything that SNL tried to make us believe that Wiig was. Best new female cast member in a long time.
-
Too... plasticy fake and over the top I guess
-
Why is it that 80% of the opening monolouges as of late have been song and or dance numbers? Who are the broadway fags writing this shit. Fuck I hate this show as of late . Its. Just. Not. Funny. Fire that old fuck lorne michaels and hire some actual talent to write some better sketches and monolouges for the show already.
-
I've kept watching because, honestly, what the fuck else is on at 11:30 on Saturday night? But I keep going in thinking it MIGHT have some funny moments and it just doesn't. Tonight's opening was brutal, and I have no idea why they do a song/dance number 90% of the time in the opening monologue. Only bit I enjoyed was the Homeland spoof.
-
Thanks for echoing my thoughts on the song and dance shit. Couldn't agree with you more.

Hathaway's eye crossing bit in the American Gothic Sketch was absolute gold
by Al
Fav of the night (watching the left coast repeat & Rhianna is on her 2nd song so wrapping up). I just love Hathaway on SNL, she gives her all in every sketch and is just a joy to watch. But, like I said, that crossing eyed bit was too freakin awesome to watch.
-
I usually don't mind that look, and she can pull it off because she's freakin' Anne Hathaway, but it does point out that her ears are actually kinda, y'know, large. Something that was hidden forever. Maybe she should grow it out, if not to DRK length, but like a bob down to her chin that would at least, y'know, hide the ears. But, honestly, if the most unattractive thing about a woman is her ears, I think she's pretty much one of the most beautiful people on the planet.
-
I love Homeland, loved that skit too. Once again, Hathaway swinging for the fences.
-
It has a few very funny parts here and there over the years, but it is what it is. Mindless entertainment in between whatever ever musical guest is trying to pimp their music, or host who's trying to pimp their latest movie/tv show. If at any time since 1975 you've thought it was otherwise, well, it might be time to get laid on Saturday nights instead. Or better yet forget that. Keep watching SNL and avoid re-polluting the gene pool at all costs.
-
...you can probably count the really funny skits since 1975 on just you and your imaginary girlfriend's fingers and toes. 1.) Samurai Deli 2.) Eddie Murphy Gumby/Mr.Robinson 3.) Point/Counter Point 4.) Belushi 'Don't Look Back in Anger' 5.) More Cowbell 6.) Church Chat 7..........) etc, etc. But you'd be hard pressed to get to 40 really funny skits since 1975. But even if you'd double it and find 80, that's only 80 really funny skits in 37 years (something like 700 shows at 5 skits per show minimum, that's 3500 skits). Even if there were 100 really funny skits, that's still only a hit rate of 2.9%. Doesn't really cut it as a comedy show. It's clearly their to pimp other shit, or else it would have been cancelled for good long, long ago.
-
BTW the Lincoln/louie skit was hilarious. Homeland a ittle bit. speaking of homeland for all you guys with vpn or torrent. damain lewis was hosting have i got news for you this week. HIGNFY i fear is on its last legs, but lewis puts it up a notch. let it be known that i like Hathaway with long or short hair.
-
NBC, the commercials that you put before the commercials annoyed me enough to stop watching - and I'm someone who will probably watch on the 17th. What does your market research tell you when people who are quasi-fans are put off by the commercials before the commercial? Do they tune in or tune out? Just sayin'.

commerical and region free! http://goo.gl/TB3ds

Now with Russell Crowe singing and the Thenardiers!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmvHzCLP6ug&feature=plcp

Why did Rihanna preform her first song in front of a Windows 98 screensaver?
by Jobacca
Did Chris Brown hit her so hard he knocked her back into the 90's?
-
If SNL can't come up with new ideas for the monologue they should just ditch it, I'm tired of seeing all these stupid songs in the monologues.
-
Whoops, I see I'm late to the game in complaining about the singing monologue...so ditto!
-
I can see how some might not have gotten it (it was a parody of one of the songs from the movie she was promoting). I much prefer the songs to the host answering audience questions.
-
Doesn't anyone else find Hathaway annoying? She reminds me of that over eager girl in high school who was in all the plays and kept trying to make sure everyone had as much school spirit as she does. I dunno why, I just find her irritating. Oh, and I agree that no season has been 100% gold. The most interesting thing about watching the original cast era DVDs is seeing how many of their sketches weren't any good. It's weird to see entire episode instead of the same collection of "Best Of" sketches you always see.

Pretty good episode - the Homeland sketch was funny as hell
by _Venkman
Quite so sir
-
Yes, we "got" the opening number in the monologue- it's just that it was lame, overblown and... obvious. Hathaway's talents were wasted and underused overall. SNL is pretty consistently 5% wheat, 95% chaff. Their few moments of delight and surprise often seem almost accidental. They do seem to hit most consistently with the political stuff, but most of that is done now. Weekend Update is sometimes good but pretty limp last night. Drunk Uncle?! Stefon?! That's the best they can do? Surely any list of "best of" must include Christoper Walken as Colonel Angus!

Love Anne Hathaway but save for the Homeland sketch that episode was HORRIBLE
by Wcwlkr
I mean seriously SNL post election with all the crazy ish that took place, and the best thing you came up with was Romney throwing Rove off of the balcony drinking Milk like beer. That thing was an epic misfire the Weekend update was weak.

Go back and re-watch the first five seasons, and count the number of sketches that "hold up" or actually make you laugh... not very many, right?
by R Howell
People over 45 tend to romanticize the original SNL for purely nostalgic purposes as the FUNNIEST, MOST UNTOUCHABLE COMEDY SHOW EVER! In reality, the first few years were exactly the same in terms of quality that the ENTIRE shows run has experienced, with a swing in quality from sketch to sketch rather than show to show or even season to season. THIS IS THE NATURE OF SKETCH COMEDY!
-
I thought the monologue skit was awesome, except for Sudakis' epic fail on the key change. ooh, that was bad...
-
It did seem odd for them to throwing out softballs, not that SNL is particularly incisive, but between Rove's meltdown on Fox and Trump's meltdown on twitter seemed like there was fresher material they could have gone after other then Romney's blandness.
