...their SNL jobs after working with Jimmy Fallon on last year's MTV Movie Awards. He brought them to Michaels, who hired Samberg as a cast member and the other two as writers. Their humor, like a lot of those involved in channel101.com is playful, loose and not overthought. For his SNL audition, Samberg did an impression of an '80s jogger, which mainly consisted of wearing short shorts and breathing heavily while talking about the recession. "His comedy doesn't come from a place of anger," says Michaels. "He's got a kind of sweetness...
...artificial and horribly overplanned. For a while, I thought that her cartoonishness might have been the point of her performance; but, in truth, many of her Harvard turns (most egregiously in The Waverly Gallery and Chess, but even in minor twaddle like Ivory Towers) have suffered from the same overthought, reactive theatricality so often and inexplicably mistaken for the height of realism—in which every movement and inflection is beautiful, but deliberate and unspontaneous.

Nor, however, is it aimed solely at "the young and the thumbless" (to borrow the name of Bedrock's favorite soap opera). Once again, prehistory has been good to the film's producer, billed here as Steven Spielrock...
...probably better than he allows himself to be. Meanwhile, the best you can say for High Plains Drifter is that the title is a low pun. Rarely are humble westerns permitted to drift around on such a highfalutin plane. That, however, is small comfort as this cold, gory and overthought movie unfolds...
