Four of Them

Cop Out (2010) Kevin Smith's first venture as a director-for-hire, but really, since when has his direction been the most noteworthy thing about his movies? While the performances are good, and Tracy Morgan is funny enough (even though I can't understand a word he's saying half the time), it feels like Smith is just bored with any given action/plot scenes. A bit too quick, lazy, one too many "How the fuck do they get away with this shit!?!" moments, but if you want 90 minutes of lowbrow-funny dialogue, go see it. I'm happy to say, I didn't hate it.

Saturday Night Live "Jennifer Lopez" (2010). I fell asleep after Weekend Update, but what I saw was...well, I'm not very interested in anything but Weekend Update and the Digital Short these days. Now, I could go on about how SNL absolutely sucks panda sack these days, but I'm above that. I could rant about how I'm fucking sick of fake-sports broadcasts and fake-gameshows and fake-talk shows, but I won't. But I will say that Jennifer Lopez is fine enough, but is certainly not the best host ever, and is not very notable. I will say that I don't like her singing, and that I'm sick of hearing about the Bronx and how she's still down to earth and blahblahfuckingblah. The sketches were middling and lazy, mostly because I can't stand these sports broadcasts and interviews. The Digital Short, about flags, was good, dare I say cute, one of those things people will send to their friends fifty times a week, in case they forget about it (I will be one of them). Weekend Update was okay, but nowadays I wonder why Seth Meyers is never in any actual sketches anymore. He's certainly developing a Jon Stewart feel, isn't he?
Again, I fell asleep after that.
