Hate to say it ... not going to watch it


David's annoying portrayal of Bernie Sanders on SNL just made
it so I cannot even stand to see the guy's face ... which isn't great
to begin with. Maybe if he directed it and it starred Bernie Sanders,
I'd watch it.

I'm not going to watch it either. His show was funny the first few seasons, and then I grew tired of the whole routine.

reply

Ah feel bad for you two. But why are you here?

reply

> But why are you here?

Because I have the right and ability to be here and I want to express myself.
Why do people ask this question like someone who disagrees with them should
not comment or does not have a right to comment?

reply

Why am I here? Because there was an article about this very topic on the home page of IMDB this morning, which got my attention. Do I need to draw you a diagram? Or have you figured it out now?

reply

I'm not only going to watch it but I'm gonna record it and act out each episode with my puppets after they've aired.

reply

Sounds good, put it on You-Tube and I'll watch that instead.

reply

Fascinating. Please tell what else you're not going to watch. I'm on pins and needles!

As for me, I'm not going to watch any current or future versions of CSI. Because, you know, they're formulaic junk. I assume you wanted to know that.

This is the CYE board, so he was on topic. He is also a fan of the previous incarnation of the show....even more on topic.

This has nothing to do with CSI, so your post was off-topic....although I get that was not your real point. Your real MO was your desire to just be a jerk.

reply

Well, not just a jerk.

The "I'm not going to watch Movie/TV Show X" threads are always useless. If I pop over to a CSI board and leave something similar behind, it's not "on topic" unless the topic is "What is some random dude going to watch or not watch?" If one is responding to a post or a question, it might make sense. But to create a thread just to say "I'm not watching this"? Who gives a fμ¢k?

I have meddled with the primal forces of nature and I will atone.

It's a discussion forum, not a fan board....so it is on topic. Some of us (myself included) think the show ran out of gas a long time ago. They publish something (right here on the IMDB home page) saying this corpse is being dragged from it's coffin. Those of us who think that's an awful idea come to express that feeling.

You may disagree that it is a bad idea, but that doesn't mean that posting as much is somehow "off topic."

Oh please. So every time a movie or a tv show is revived and you don't think it's a good idea you'll go out of your way to post a comment on a message board that you rarely frequent to tell all that you won't watch?

reply

Every time? Can't really say that, but if the urge strikes me I will show up and say something. Why not? If you have a problem with that, well, that's just too bad for you.

reply

Not really. He said he wouldn't watch it because of Larry David's portrayal of Bernie Sanders.

What's that have to do with CYE?

reply

That really needs to be explained to you?

Actually, yes, that makes no sense. He isn't portraying Bernie Sanders in CYE, so what relevance does a SNL skit have?

I don't like SNL, so should I not watch any movies that anyone in the cast are in, or any movies by anyone who hosts the show?

Absolutely makes no sense.



We made a land where crap is king, and the good don't last too long.
