Talk about a butterface queen...

He did a good job, but does ANYONE question his, ahem... preference... after that? I mean really...

And no, it's not just the lisp and the hands flailing about and the drag and the complete lack of chemistry with anything female...

That's all.

P

P.S. I'm with you on this, PRS. All that was missing was a Lady-Gaga-as-Judy-Garland skit and the bejeweled collector's watch from the WIZARD OF OZ boxset. And a boa. Oh yeah, he DID wear a boa.

He might not have been contractually allowed to do a send up of the actual Twilight movie as he is still pretty much out promoting it.

I thought that crazy shyt he did in his monologue was good, but remember, week after week, I'm generally pleased with this show. I know it's to some of you like Glee is to me, but I watch SNL because it makes me laugh, not because I want to see how bad it is.

I'm an old crippled woman on a fixed income and SNL is a weekly respite from all my worldly woes.

I love James Franco though, next week should be good.

Last week's show had me in stitches the whole time.

"I'm an old crippled woman on a fixed income "


Oh, we're the same person, Phyllis!

p.s. I didn't like any of the skits last night, especially the one where the couple was announcing they're pregnant. I did like Taylor's opening though.

Taylor definitely gives me that vibe. I am also convinced he took growth hormone because there is no way he bulked up like that in a matter of a few months.

I am so hoping James Franco gets top-notch material, his General Hospital experiences alone give SNL plenty of material. I always watch but JF and Muse performing give me an even bigger license to watch with high expectations.

I'm going to agree about the pregnancy one. It looked like a mix to me of Kristen Wiig either pretending to give birth or having an orgasm. It was weird.

Plus it is uncomfortable to see Taylor- still a baby face and not even legal- being a baby daddy.

I find the problem with Wiig is she creates these bizarre characters like this one, who can't keep a secret, then she doesn't know what to do with them. Most of her characters are that way. Yes, it is Kristen doing a funny face or voice but that is about it.

How much of that is Wiig and how much of that is the writing.

See, the doorbell sketch made me laugh so hard I almost tinkled. I LOVE characters like Tina Tina and look forward to her turning up again.

I can't delete the show off my dvr because I haven't gotten my fill of watching the doorbell sketch.

So come on down to doorbells and more

Wow, I'm a little addled that I don't find that skit funny at all.

Thanks, Namo!

"I am also convinced he took growth hormone because there is no way he bulked up like that in a matter of a few months."

Actually, it's quite easy when you have almost zero body fat. All he had to do was increase his protein intake and hit the weights pretty hard. It doesn't take very long to start seeing result. The thing is, he's really not that big. He has a very thin frame. If you look at him in some of the sketches from SNL this weekend, he had a smaller waist and hips than any of the women he was in a sketch with. You could really tell how thin he was in the show choir sketch.

Strummer Wiig is co-writer on those sketches, so it is Wiig.

The quip about his muscles were CGI-enhanced cracked at the factor Taylor and his reps recommended it because the producers were seriously thinking of dropping him from the next films because he was so scrawny in the first movie (The producers have been nothing but consistently reactionary). One thing to tone up but another to think your body would have to go through such a drastic transformation it would have to be CGI.

I was surprised that they missed such a great chance to do a Jon Bovi skit with the real thing on the show. Maybe the real thing didn't wanted to be poked fun at when they were on the show?

Twihard and the doorbell sketch were the only funny sketches I thought, I have hard conversations like that also going on in classrooms. I think I have also seen that exact Robert Pattinson folder around a few times.

Thanks for that info, SNAFU.

SNL is so painful to watch: it is badly written and no one except for Wiig has any comic timing or appeal. As for Taylor, he was better than Michael Phelps in front of the camera but he ain't no Brando. Cute to look at, sexual ambiguous, and could be Anderson Cooper's if he needs the bread. Otherwise he might as well do porn with Levi Johnston.

Just watched the episode on hulu.
I laughed a lot at the doorbell skit. And I thought the monologue and the Twilight skits were funny, although the Twilight one ended really awkwardly.

I admit, Lautner was better than I expected--not brilliant but I expected much worse. It was a meh episode...

I'm a big Franco fan but I'm not sure about this new performance art phase of his life. Now that we know he sees his GH stint as part of that (http://www.movieline.com/2009/11/the-real-story-and-the-artist-behind-james-franco-soap-star.php) is this SNL performance gonna be another chapter in his deconstructed image/performance art? :S
