Avicci? More like Davincci amiright? http://media.salon.com/2014/05/Screen-Shot-2014-05-18-at-10.27.24-AM.png
I live in Milwaukee and have been to shows both here and in Chicago. The Chicago crowds are just terrible. Just disinterested fans, don't make much noise, think they are the shizzit, and.... ugh. I won't even go to Chicago to see anyone now. Not worth the fans, the hassle getting there, the overpriced everything, and the fans. Did I mention that? Friday is awesome. The other two days, meh. But you couldn't pay me to go there and sit through one set amongst 50,000 sweaty, disinterested fans.
I think I speak for the majority when I quote Knocked Up in, "Steely Dan gargles my balls. If I ever listen to Steely Dan I want you to slice my head off with an Al Jarreau LP." The fact that Steely Dan is now, apparently, in some ironic 'they're so cool' stage is frightening to me.
But what about this LeMonjello - What if U2 AREN'T capable of better at this point anymore? And, what if our expectations need to be tampered down just a bit? Everyone seems alright with the fact Pearl Jam aren't going to be making another Vitalogy anytime soon and they don't get raked over the coals for it. That all being said...even with tampered down expectations...this album doesn't deliver any fully-developed 'new' or 'exciting' sound. It sounds ATYCLB, Part IV.
The EDM digital short was the best. thing. ever. It was spot-on point. The best. It was much better than Cats. I'm going to see it again and again. Samburg is becoming the next Fallon for me. Found them both serviceable when on the show, only to grow to really miss them and like them more post-SNL.
Father John is the best. Tillman's voice and Beck's make for a ridiculously great harmony there.
Wow. I love Coldplay, but even mentioning them from creative standpoint with the likes of those bands is wayyyy off-base. You need to go back and check out these bands' albums. Coldplay is a great band. They put out great songs. They are no way U2 or REM or Beatles-eque in taking chances and really going nuts. There's nothing wrong with that, either. They're U2/REM-lite. That's still great and not a bad thing. Just don't make them something they aren't (which many haters and even fans like to do to them).
I mean...Coldplay was BEFORE Bon Iver. Too much wine.
I'll admit it, I'm a big Coldplay fan. X&Y is their worst album by far, but there are some stellar songs on there. It just came off as a re-tread of a band not knowing who to trust to make the next step developmentally. Thankfully, they turned to Mr. Eno to help set them straight. They're never, ever going to be Radiohead or U2 from a taking-chances standpoint I think. But, they've made great strides and admit it...they write damn good songs! I think this song is really sweet and a continued progression. Very excited for whatever we hear next. And last but not least, Bon Iver came BEFORE Coldplay. Just because BonIver is hip now, does not mean Coldplay is copying them, alright.
Beck Bennett, come on down! You're the next contestant on "One of the Coolest SNL Cast Names of All Time" list.
Not since the days of Ferrell do I look forward to someone - in this case Keenan - continuously coming into a sketch for the sole purpose of yelling. Don't care how many times he does it, it's funny everytime.
I just want to know when Professor Harper breaks out his acoustic guitar and starts singing, "Loveeee take me downnnn....to the streeets!" like he did in the first version of this film, Role Models.
Knock Knock. Who's there? Orange. Orange who? Orange you glad I'm going to prison?
"John, you just broke your guitar!" Hey Paul McCartney, eff off!
All I know is this is the first musical performance in a while (probably since Kanye last time) that when it was done w/both songs that I just sat there and wanted to yell out "Damnn!!!!". That was epic. Aside - I can't wait to see whatever David Fincher film features "Black Skinhead" in it!
Can I just say that the picture above is stopped at JUST the right time to capture so many potential-captions over everyone's head? Who did that? Wes Anderson? It looks like Wes Anderson did it. What is everyone thinking in the photo above? I'll go first: Jennifer Garner - wow, I approve of that performance, Ben! Bill Hader - So...now what do I do?
Also, you KNEW there's be a muth-effin' montage sequence of Jim and Pam that would make us all cry. Guilty as charged. Congrats writers-of-the-Office. Your week is done.
I think the Office is going out on a high note. They struggled after Carrell left, but now that they knew this year was the end, I honestly think they've done an admirable job of tidying things up where it's not patronizing to the audience, but at the same time, being just-patronizing enough to make us satisfied w/the ending...which hasn't ended yet. I guess what I'm saying is, it's not the Sopranos.
"Fukin shit?" "Damnit! Who wrote that on AJ's cue card! Anything you print on that he reads!!!!"
Christopher Nolan's Involvement > Zak Snyder. What I'm saying is...anything Nolan does, I'm in.
A-I D-A Attention - do I have your attention, now that you could fall 13,000 feet? Interest - are you interested in getting down because it's fark-or-walk at this point! Decision - have you made your decision to Christ...that you will go up or down this mountain alive?! Action - get off this horrible, dangerous place Truer words never spoken.
I was just shocked Akoroyd didn't have a "Please, please, please, please someone, anyone, help me make Ghostbusters 3 why don't you like me anymore I'm still funny!!!" shirt on.
The funniest part of the show was that the second half was basically a carbon copy of Jamie Foxx's episode, which was the funniest second-half show of the year. Kudos. You had Maine Justice, a fake-movie-trailer, and the porn girls (Swarkioske crystals!).
I was getting tired of Stefon, but then Hader pulled out "You're Mother and I Are Separating" and I about Hugh Jackman'd myself.
Everytime I see Michael Cera lately, I just wait for him to go pick up a guitar and start playing Devil's Haircut...you know, because he's really Beck in make-up.
"No, Chloe....Chloe....CHLOE!! The camera is this way" - everyone working on the set
She sounds like Luke from Modern Family, only 1,000,000 times more annoying.
This...yes. The Shatner scene was very SNL-ish in that the cold open went on about 3-4 minutes too long. In this case, it was about 5-6 (although most of you would say all-of-it).
K Stew gifs anyone? Anyone? Can't I get a montage? A mutha-cluckin' montage!?
My apolgies...you meants NBCs Olympics coverage. I'm such a Seth.
I know NBC sucks at everything so it's easy to assume they show the Oscars, but they were shown on ABC (the makers of Cop Rock!).
The show was really weird, but...I'm probably in the minority....I thought Seth was funny. It's the friggin Oscars. Lighten up. I don't like the Family Guy (or any of his shows) at ALL. But, this and SNL, I have to effing apologize, but I liked him. That being said, it was still wayyyyyyyyy to long and over-the-top and weird. Chicago tributes? Marvin Hamlish getting "the hammer" on the In Memoriam segment? So many songs?
His name is Jameeeeeeees Cameron The brave-est pioneeeeer No budget too steep, no sea too deep Could it be? Yes it's him! James Cam-er-onnnn
Plus, that ring and that couple...it's like (dramatic pause)....a perfect storm! #christophermcdonalddeserveslovetoo
Poor John Krasinski. Even after directing a movie, co-starring in a few bad ones, being married to hottie Emily Blunt, he's STILL "Jim from the Office". C'mon NiktheDuck. Have you no respect?
And don't forget about the Bieber Body Doubles sketch. That was funny too. I mean...the whole episode was great. If Bieber weren't so friggin' creepy, this episode might sway me to like him, just as Timberlake did. But...the creep factor. Ugh.
I, like most people, enjoy it when others enjoy what I enjoy. I feel vindicated...but not too many people can like it, because then I don't like it. What I'm trying to say is, I thought Glice was so friggin' hysterical. That sketch and Maine Justice are the top two of the year IMHO.
Sung Kang? That's Joo Sef Goo Don Yivet in disguise. #wasthatracist?
I wonder what the other six kids in the back of that Excursion are thinking? Probably, something along the lines of, "mom and dad, quit being so selfish by playing this song and ruining the planet you bastards!". Amiright?
HUGE props for Sudeikis bringing back the Coloniel-guy, who previously was a potato-chip-thief. POTATO CHIP THIEFFFF!!!
