SNL's Continued Downward Spiral Thread

Wait...is that actually Sharon Stone?

 

That's what the Twitterverse seems to think.

 

More Basic Instinct references! And since that movie is from when I was 20, I actually know it!!

 

She's definitely had work done--like, a lot lot lot of work--but that seems to be her.

 

Her last SNL appearance in 1992:

 

I've long felt like this. if there wasn't an applause sign they'd never end.

 

Sharon Stone was excellent on "Murderville" with Will Arnett, and she'd probably kill as an SNL host. She's one of those actresses that got the rap of being "difficult" to work with, but man, she has an intensity to her in her best work that goes beyond just having a gorgeous presence.

 

Sam Smith's appearance on there ranks among the weirdest musical nights ever on SNL. And that's saying a lot.

 

Aubrey Plaza....so good in the Taboo sketch

 

Yeah I'm willing to chalk it up to becoming Grandpa Simpson--I used to be with it but then they changed what it was etc etc--but that was some weird fucking shit.

 

Goodness, what an episode. I'm sure it's because it's when I was 16 thru 22 or so, but the late '80s-early/mid '90s run will always be my favorite.

 

They try to be too politically correct instead of just being funny. It seems to apply to everybody but Weekend Update, which is the only consistently funny thing on the show.
