If you missed the first live Saturday Night Live since November, you missed a beaut. They took on the media and Obamarama in a way that not even the fairest of media would dare. And, God, they did it extremely well.
If you have access to Joost or the like, try and see it, it was a great opener. HERE'S a piece of it from the NBC site, and not the best part, but still hysterically accurate.
The follow up to Tina Fey (who hosted with a surprise bit by Steve Martin), was another winner. It concerned the new drugs that — what? — cancel out or readjust the timing of a woman's period. Hysterical.
I quit after that, wanting to go to bed a happy camper. Beside, it was waaaay past my bedtime.
Also got a chance to watch Michael Clayton last night. Although I can do without Clooney's politics, he just seems like such a regular guy and I think he's quite underated as an actor. Although nominated for an Oscar (tonight), he laughed when asked and said something to the effect of, "Not as long as Daniel Day Lewis is in the same category."
Lewis, who with Johnny Depp are the screen's best actors (lets throw Rene Zellwegger in there as well) is up for his role as a ... I dunno. The movie looks too intense for a relaxing evening at the theater.
Anyway ... check out Michael Clayton and, if at all possible, check out SNL.
