Uncrossed, yes!

And yeah, I think it's been solid. Waltz goes for the weird and I dig that.

A damn strong show last night. McKinnon as the Russian woman was the highlight for me. I'm also a fan of Fred Armisen's patronizing bitch girlfriend character.

McKinnon totally stole the show with the Russian woman.

I have to say - Armisen as the girlfriend is one of the VERY few characters of his I don't really mind. He was actually funny in that role last night.

I have never seen one of that host's movies and man, did I have a visceral negative response to the very sight of him. I mean, like a lot of you guys did over that Beaver kid last week. Looking at him made me queasy. He looked like a live action version of those marionettes on The Thunderbirds. He just seemed to be such a needy performer. He made me think of Roberto Begnini the afternoon after an all-night coke binge. Also, he seemed to be reading phonetic cue cards. I thought he ruined every sketch he was in, including the Fred bitchy girlfriend one. I thought it fell completely flat. Even Djesus Uncrossed, the likes of which is usually right up my alley, annoyed me.

I did laugh through Weekend Update except the sports guy at the end. Russian woman was great. Rubio, perfection.

I didn't care for Alabama Quakes.

I will agree with you on one thing Namo, Hated Alabama Quakes! There was something amiss there, striving for an early 70's feel with a Joplin influence yet felt flat. Kept picturing an Earth Mama Muff with a happy trail originating from the nipples

I love Christophe Waltz. He's diabolical in Inglorious Basterds.

I've only watched the Djesus Uncrossed skit and I loved it! I thought it was hysterical.

The AFA, on the other hand, are offended, as I expected them to be.

The best part of their release is this gem:

"JC Penny - Penny is blocking our e-mails. Try sending an e-mail directly from your e-mail to [e-mail]."

They don't know about that extra e in Penney.

I can't imagine sitting through a late-period Tarrantino movie or watching that guy.

I find Inglorious Basterds more enjoyable than anything QT has ever done.

I know I'm a film major and all, but do I have to watch scenes from Pulp Fiction in almost every class? I'm going to stab my eyes out with pins next time I have to sit through that, just because the teacher thinks it's "amazaing".


And, hello Daddy!

I thought it was one of the stronger recent episodes.

Djesus Uncrossed was just beautifully offensive. Panties I am sure in one huge bunched-up wad after that short.

If your a NBA fan, the spoof of Stephen A. Smith was spot on (and since I follow the Lakers, it had my smirking). McKinnon is wonderful in just about everything she does. I also thought the Rubio bit was spot-on.

I just fast-forwarded through the music. I felt like I was watching a "something" version of Linda Perry.

I finally watched the episode on DVR. Loved pretty much everything about it, but I agree with Kad that Kate McKinnon stole the show.

I even liked Alabama Quakes (and I'm REALLY not the demo for SNL's musical guests unless they are gay AMERICAN IDOL runners-up)! It was as if Janis Joplin had mated with Mama Cass.

"DJesus Uncrossed" summed up everything I feel about Tarantino movies, except they aren't as funny.

The band's name is Alabama Shakes, for future (positive or negative) reference. They're not my favorite, but the record is enjoyable enough; good to listen to around the house when working.

I liked this episode; it was certainly better than recent weeks, but not a slam dunk. I've not seen any of Waltz's films, but I liked that he committed to the crazy things. Loved the Pope video. Really wasn't prepared to see Fred Armisen's junk so prominently displayed in the Regine sketch. (Can you ever be?) I wonder if the censors did anything with it on the West Coast. But seeing Vanessa Bayer break was hilarious, and it looked like Hader intentionally poured some of his drink on Armisen when he couldn't keep it together.

Hopefully we'll get some Stefon soon!

The band's name is Alabama Shakes...

See what happens when I assume the crowd is right and I'm confused? I'm almost always at least half right. Thanks for the correction.

I am perfectly fine with this. If Alec Baldwin can host the show numerous times, why not Justin Timberlake?

Justin Timberlake always provides a s solid comedic performance.

[Phyllis Rogers Stone]

Posted: 2/21/13 at 3:00pm

Man, will this season hold the record for the most episodes with the host doing double duty as the musical guest?

I love it when Justin hosts SNL! I can't wait!
