Saturday Night 2024
My best guess is that I’m just too young to care about this movie. I didn’t watch SNL in the 70s (or the 80s, or the 90s, or really the 00s), and I never found myself wondering “what kind of zany hijinks must happen in the ninety minutes before the show begins?!?” Maybe if you have a deep attachment to Dan Aykroyd as a performer, or Chevy Chase, or John Belushi, this movie would be great.

Even more recently I’ve started having the first thing in my notes be my expectation going into the movie. This time, I wrote:
