I'm not too optimistic about the film. The "likeness wars" will determine the success of the film. Looking at the photo, I don't see much resemblance, especially of Belushi.
Sketch comedy lets each comic inhabit their various characters, but leaves little room for them to be an individual separate from their amalgam of characters. Trying to give them a real world identity that isn’t one of their characters is probably impossible, but nice try.
>>>On the one hand, this feels completely insane. Conversely, it is the obvious legal and ethical >>>conclusion to selling yourself to the highest bidder, a sort of perpetual virtual slavery.
I wonder if any of the big music stars who sold off their legacy songs to Hipgnosis (great name, by the way) are starting to have regrets over the multi-million dollar deals they made.
I'll have to check that out...the first episode of SNL, was actually on my 18th Birthday, so I have strong memories of it...and I watched it regularly for years...and while after I stopped watching, it was still good, I am partial to the older members probably because that's who I remember the most and the best. And they were formative to my early adulthood.
Man, at my screening I had a dude just going to town on his home-brought snacks and the sound was f*cked so the soundtrack played louder than the dialogue. Yet, I was still utterly captivated by it all.
Speaking to things being better in the past, I told an usher and they just sort of shrugged. Back when I worked in a theater as an usher I would have radio’ed the projectionist and they would have fixed it. Sometimes the past is actually better

Because humans aren't stupid enough, technology is stepping in to show us how idiocy is really done.

Your experience is my worse nightmare. I hate going to the movies anymore.
