Scylla Rhiadra Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 (edited) I didn't love the SNL clip -- I think the basic idea, that there is a kind of unbridled brutality just beneath the surface of British "primness" and class-consciousness, is a good one (although not exactly novel, either), but the execution was predictably and repetitively slapstick. Everyone has different tastes, and that's of course entirely valid, but I personally think Emma Thompson is a pretty amazing woman. She's probably best known, I suppose, for her more recent appearances in blockbusters like the Harry Potter series, but she's a superb Shakespearean actress, and her work in things like Howard's End and Sense and Sensibility is simply wonderful. I think she is also very funny (watch her as Beatrice in Branagh's version of Much Ado about Nothing), but not in a Hugh Laurie / Stephen Frye kind-of-way. She's best at a sort of understated, thin-lipped irony -- which is why I think she's so good in adaptations of Austen. She's also an accomplished writer (she won Academy Awards for both her acting and her screenplay of Sense and Sensibility) and a philanthropist who has championed environmentalism and other progressive causes, both things I also value. I haven't seen Leslie Jones in a lot of things, but what I have seen I certainly didn't hate. She exudes a likeable personality, anyway. But, as I say, YMMV.

Peeve: Second, @Scylla Rhiadra, it is hard to laugh at that Girl at Bar skit because that response is all too common in SL and RL. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayashe Ninetails Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Lol, my usual experience is more like the "Can I have ur numba?" MadTV skit. Though, if a guy actually said "the back of your head is ridiculous!" and told me to "work that updo," I'd likely be more open to chatting. It's always been a peeve that guys don't use more humor. That actually works on me! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been a fan, although there have been occasional moments of brilliance. I've been a fan, especially when they make fun of the dancing orange man. But...to be more specific...sometimes they get awfully silly...like how people get when they partake in certain substances...or stay up waaay past their bed time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Starchild Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Legacy Meshbody sent out a "switch" promo message trying to entice me, a Reborn user, to switch to their ridiculously heavy, HUD reliant crap.

Rat Luv Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Today's peeve - there was a sudden storm this afternoon for about 5 minutes...I'm not sure if lightning actually hit my home, but there was a crazy flash in my living room and the thunder sounded like a bomb had gone off 😬 and then my BT Smart Hub died with no lights at all...so I had to ring the BT engineer and tether my mobile to my laptop to carry on working...getting a new hub delivered tomorrow, but was a lot of fuss I could have done without! At least it didn't frazzle all my electrics though 🌩️ 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
