To bring this thread back to SNL...

They added 3 more cast members to bring the total number to 20. Then Carrey as Biden and Baldwin as Trump. Little too crowded for my taste.

I'll say I'm a little more optimistic on the newer cast members. With a future core of Day, Moffat, Redd, Nwodim, Gardener, Villaseor, Fineman, and Yang (who had a great season last year. The Sara Lee bread sketch was top tier) I think the future is bright for SNL.

Jim Carrey made some amazing films when he was younger but thats not who I am talking about though he is indicative of the current deluge of negativity towards all things Trump that seems to encompass TCTTS.

Race is only an example but I am speaking to the future of the entertainment choices large platforms choose to offer and the negative slant on each stories they choose to create. Instead of focusing of positive examples where racial differences brought people together, they choose instead to focus on division. It's a choice and that pattern weaves a narrative that can not be ignored.

Just look at the Oscars decision to include requirements of this exact behavior, to create mandates on creativity. It's abhorrent to real choice and neuters the end product by telling artists if you want a pathway to success you must promote these ideals. It is what is being taught to film students and the end products we will see out of this subversion will be scrutinized for years.

TCTTS' show will likely hinge on the negative aspects or stories that highlight divisive interactions between race. As he admitted, he rubbed elbows with a family that attempted to subvert reality once again by false claims of racial division. I can not support the direction of this climate and I long for the Roger Corman days of old when movies were made to be fun and not made to promote political ideals that alter our perceptions on reality.

I think TDS might actually stand for TCTTS Derangement Syndrome. Let the guy make his tv show. Damn.

Yep. There was definitely not any subtext to Corman's films.. definitely not in Death Race 2000. Nevermind any of the other films that came out that same year (One flew over the ****oo's nest, Shampoo, Mandingo, and even Jaws was a political commentary that is just as biting today as it was then, pun intended)

Film since it's beginning, like all forms of art is about political/social commentary, porn or trying to get laid.

Seriously when was this "age" that most films didn't have a social or political commentary? Was it that brief window between the late 1880s and 1915 when birth of a nation came out?

Congratulations on proving every last point I've made in this thread and others about about the psychos who come here to stir sh*t up and attack me. I literally could not have asked for a more perfect example.

To highlight just a couple of your many falsities and fantasies...

Dude is also contributing to this self fulfilled prophecy of race related issues with his new show based on race and is hobnobbing with the Smolett family. He even defends them.

This is simply an outright lie. I said I met Jurnee Smollett at a party - five years ago - and that she was nice to me. Then these are my exact words concerning her and her brother: "I think Jussie Smollett is a lier, con artist, instigator, and above all, a massive idiot, and it's disappointing to see Jurnee defend him." I *literally* called out Jurnee for defending him. And yet that is somehow twisted into me defending the Smollett family? Are you insane??? (Don't answer that. It's clear what the answer is.)

Another greatest hit! An F16er showing up to this board to get angry at something you HAVEN'T seen for what it MIGHT be, when you couldn't be further from the truth. The show I'm producing is, yes, about a black woman. Except it's about a black woman who has to choose between preserving the purity of the HUMAN race (meaning ALL races - a species that will otherwise die out within a generation) vs starting a new, hybrid race with a race of aliens who show up after the apocalypse. Like I said in that same thread, it's unlike any premise we've seen before, and tackles racial themes from a completely different angle, in a fresh, non-divisive manner. But yeah, go ahead and get ridiculously upset at the version in your head, that hasn't even been made yet.

I could keep picking apart your diatribes, but what's the point? These two are more than enough to prove my point, showing just how disingenuous you are. This sh*t would laughable if it wasn't so utterly deranged. But you and your ilk are becoming so obsessed with me - and inventing things about me whole cloth - that it's getting to the point where I fear what one of you might eventually attempt outside of this board. Especially after Muck recently reported that an F16er saught him out and harassed him offline. Just as you guys do in politics, you've conjured a fever-dream version of your perceived enemy that is only loosely based in reality, you assume the absolute worst about them in doing so, and then ascribe your imaged actions to them as if proven and true, or as if they've already happened. And then, in certain instances, these grievances are taken beyond the forum and out into the real world. It's why TexAgs had to recently post a warning on F16 - because it keeps happening - and it's honestly frightening to watch.

Get some help, man. Seriously.

And leave me - and this board - the f/ck alone.

Because I'm beyond sick of this sh/t, as it's reaching a point of genuine concern with not only how obsessed you guys are, but the lies you and those like you will tell to justify your deranged, unhealthy anger.

He is talking about "Dawn?" His description is insane

I just want to chime in and say, with apologies to Dumb & Dumber and Eternal Sunshine, Jim Carrey's best movie is Truman Show.

So, if I'm reading this right, TC, the Smollets, Kellen Mond, and Bubba Wallace are filming a movie together in which they play a strike force of elite anti-American death commandos who are committed to destroying patriotism, hope, justice, and the Spirit of Aggieland.

To be fair, you are showing a complete lack of empathy and a shockingly myopic world view if you can't see how this description wouldn't trigger the segment of the population that believes the "14 words" are a valid concern.

I am not implying that anyone posting on this thread fits that description but someone that does fit that description would be terrified of the show you described. But no one on this thread subscribes to that particular world view so I probably didn't need to bring it up.

Don't forget the faux car note kid at A&M. Or is he included in the Smollets?

Don't forget his Pinky Wilson biopic about Aggie football. It's a blatant ripoff of Mulan since the lead is secretly a female.

PS- Anyone know why Jay Pharoah left SNL? He seemed extremely talented.

We can all agree a thread about Jim Carrey joining SNL was going to get very political so it's not like a derail or anything. I mean, have you seen his effing paintings? I was worried he was going to leave acting all together or possibly die, it was really disturbing.

We might just go full circle and have an epiphany with Carrey lighting it up.

Now back to arguing!

Since this thread is already off the rails... Have you read the xenogenesis book trilogy? Sounds very similar; is your show based on it?

Yes, the show is called "Dawn" and is based on Octavia Butler's xenogenesis trilogy.

Jim Carey actually looks great as Biden. I do think he needs to hold back on the big smile, as Biden doesn't smile that big.

Interesting. And wow. I can't even imagine how challenging that project will be. Not an easy series to adapt to screen - wasn't my favorite book series, a little slow and definitely didn't go the direction I was expecting when I started it. Best wishes!

Thanks! Yeah, it's been a challenge, but it's going to diverge a bit from the books in translation from the page to the screen. Actually, "diverge" is probably the wrong word. More like *expand* while also exploring a lot more back story and what not.

I'm guessing add a little tension and action by exploring the apocalypse itself? If so, kudos. That series needed it.
A but like when I saw the first trailer for man in the high castle and I said "I need to check out this book!" and that was such a mistake.

Opening debate skit was good, they kept it fairly balanced. Still think Woody Harrelson has the best Biden impression.

Definitely the highlight of the episode. Unfortunately it was the first one and the show went downhill from there. I liked the Drew Barrymore talk show skit though.

I enjoyed the debate. Appreciate Jim Carey doing something cool like this when he certainly doesn't need to. And Chris Rock is an all-timer for me. Other than Grownups 1 and 2, I'll watch him in anything.

Who here has seen CB4?

CB4 was OK, but Fear of a Black Hat was the much better rap mockumentary from that era.
