I thought this season was terrible, and I'm a fan. Felt like most of the skits were Amy playing herself and were about her being famous, which even played ironically or at her own expense got tired really fast.

Huh. There are some serious, questionable parallels with his takedown of Beyonce in that review.

New Netflix special was forced at times but still brought the laughs.

I doubt I'll see her new movie, but I'm very ashamed to admit that I LOL'd pretty hard at the "whale cum" joke in the trailer.

she'll get revival sympathy as a "pioneering feminist icon" in 10-20 years

Counterpoint: maybe the number of roles available for female comedians at the peak of their popularity are no better or more numerous than for any other actresses. I somehow doubt Goldie Hawn hasn't worked in 15 years just cuz she didn't feel like it. Though who knows?

That said, I think she is pretty hit-or-miss even on her own terms. On her show for instance.

movie sucked
there was a weird PSA at the beginning of amy schumer and goldie hawn in front of a white backdrop thanking the audience for seeing the movie in a theater. it was really odd, out of place, kind of disturbing and unnecessarily desperate - if movie theaters disappear like tower records i'm leaving this planet. i don't remember the organization that the video was sponsored by

We saw the first ep of the new season of "Inside" and, with the exception of a few moments (the punchline of the Hallmark movie parody, maybe) I thought it was dire, like half-baked C-list end of the night "SNL" skits that all went on too long. Oof.

the very mention of her triggers a ton of right wing trolls and for that reason it's hard for me to talk shit but man I just have never found anything she's done to be funny. the one standup of hers I saw was pretty racist too. I really do not get what's made her such a big star all of the sudden.

i liked about 45% of her original series a lot, will give this a try.

she's someone i see and i wonder why she thought she should be a performer. or why other people thought she should be. like leelee sobieski or patrick swayze's brother.
