SNL's Continued Downward Spiral Thread

Lindsay wasn't horrible and I thought everyone cracking up at the end of the Scared Straight skit was funny.

SNL took a hell of a chance on her. If she stays clean, and that's a big if, I think she can make a comeback.

 

Nic Cage's movies make money.

 

I'm sure Lohan movies could too. Maybe she could replace Jennifer Love-Hewitt as Lifetime's go-to actress for made-for-TV movies.

 

Keenana Thompson has grown on me as well, Scared Straight and What's up With That are skits I find consistently funny even if they are basically the same joke over and over.

Lohane looks terrible and was terrible. I do have to give her some props for poking fun at herself although realistically to not play off he rep would have been next to impossible.

 

Lohan wasn't a train wreck? Must have been watching a different episode than me.

 

The comparison with Cage is a bad one. He's a trainwreck, but I've never gotten the sense that his personal problems have ever impacted his ability to make movies.

Lohan was fired from a job where she was set to play Linda Lovelace because she had too many problems.

If you've read the stories on Lohan, you hear about some of the movies she's done where they had to shut down production because she didn't show up or whatnot. I remember reading about Jane Fonda chewing her out because it happened on whatever movie the two of them were in together.

Cage is an established, Oscar-winning movie star. His bad movies usually make money and he's very bankable overseas.

He does have one of the strangest resumes ever, where he seems to do two awful movies and one safe Disney/Bruckheimer crowd pleaser for every "good" movie he does.

 

Um, WTF with the spam post? I thought maybe LiLo had joined us for a incomprehensible minute!

 

Lohan isn't going to get work again until productions can get her insured, which is about as likely as someone taking Lenny Dykstra's investment advice.

 

Looks like someone will be taking Lenny's investment advice...

 

Not really a train wreck, but for someone hosting for the third or fourth time Lohan didn't seem very comfortable. She mangled some of her lines or didn't know what word to punch for maximum effect.

Hell, she was in the original Debbie Downer skit and the best Harry Potter skit ever.

 

That Harry Potter skit is a classic

(sorry for the subtitles it was the only one I could find in a quick search)

 

While the original Debbie Downer sketch and the Harry Potter sketch are classics, it's not for the typical reasons.

The Debbie Downer sketch everyone was laughing their asses off and the Harry Potter sketch, Lohan was either 18 or younger at the time and they had her rack practically falling out of the outfit, not that I'm complaining...
