I'm 74 minutes in. Dan Aykroyd gained a lot of weight. Emma Stone is really talented. Jack Nicholson hit exactly the right note. Paul McCartney sounded awful singing a Beatles song and then pretty good singing Maybe I'm Amazed. Bradley Cooper is surprisingly funny. I didn't realize how much I missed Jane Curtin and Laraine Newman, but it doesn't compare to how much I miss Gilda Radner and John Belushi.
I can't wait for Bill Murray to show up.
EDIT: Martin Short is killing it. Chris Rock dealing. Miley Cyrus seems to be singing 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover, which is a solid homage. If she had been born in 1945 she coulda been something amazing. What a voice.
John Goodman is amazing. Actually the whole Seinfeld q&a. Sarah Palin.
EDIT2: God damn it whose idea was it to give Kanye more screentime than anyone else? When you've got Bill Murray and Paul Simon in the fucking building? All Keith Richards got to do was introduce Paul McCartney. That's just an insult.
EDIT3: Mr. Bill!
I woke up this morning to the sound of my roommate hyperventilating with laughter while watching this. So I watched (part of) it. It's beautiful.
Not enough Andy Kaufman, and they could have found a way to fit Belushi's old Don't Look Back bit in. And they did an entire skit about losing it during sketches and didn't include Chevy Chase's newspaperman break from ... 1975. But hey. Bill Murray is so fucking great. OH MY GOD DON'T LOOK BACK THEY SPRUNG IT ON ME ohhhhhhh fuck And then Paul Simon bringing it home. Obviously. What a show.
Hey, I'm not even a Kanye fan and his performance art piece blew me away. It wasn't about his vocals: it's his ability to set up a scene and own it. The guy knows how to get you to see, even if you can't listen. I miss Phil Hartmann a lot. A lot. Anything he did was gold. Before he did comedy, he made album covers.
