Wait, SNL did somethingbthats actually funny? What year is it?

This is incredibly dumb.

Not controversial just a well made film that’s Rated R. Honestly want to know what the ratings were for that SNL episode.

Omg, hilarious!!

Wtf is CNN’s obsession with the movie? People love it because people likes movies and we can enjoy movies without all the bs analysis of miserable people who cant enjoy anything anymore

The question is... Will she use the swing in 'power' to her advantage?

So, not that controversial Movey is making a lot of money, MSM = dammit

Hoping tomorrow will be a Yuge success for ExposeCNN day!
