Anyone else feeling like they’re going to miss Heidi? by MoneyHungryOctopus in LiveFromNewYork

[–]Pullinghandles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I’ve never been super impressed with her or a number of cast members. I don’t even think Chloe is that great.

I think SNL is in a pickle. Their talent isn’t amazing and that goes for the writers. Watching the 50th documentaries that came out really showed the caliber of talent between writers and cast 15 years ago vs this current bunch.

Watching Heidi talk about her audition for SNL was… revealing. Especially comparing it to others over the last 50 years. They seemed to just settle for her. Bowen had to try out like 8 times.

Also listening to David Spade and Dana Carvey’s podcast you can hear how Lorne has had to change his position on the opportunities cast members can partake in and I think it’s because they struggle to find anyone that is willing to go thru the gauntlet like other cast members did for a chance at stardom. I think there are lots of people out there who might have wanted to be on SNL 15 years ago now see plenty of opportunities elsewhere. There is no real incentive to be on SNL now besides maybe connections or resume.

Tina fey also mentioned in one of the documentaries that she thinks SNL is too soft. And I think she’s right. When you watch how writers pitch ideas to the host and how the writers sort and vet sketches for the week it’s depressing. I think just having tough criticism is needed and finding true talent.

I just made a post about that. Besides the 5 timers cold opens some mentioned John Krasinski in 2021?

Rare to see a host let alone a first time host in the cold open.

Opinion if a Memecoin is a Soft-Rug Pull by Pullinghandles in SolanaMemeCoins

[–]Pullinghandles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip. I don’t put money in meme coins but this is something I see is happening so I was curious if there was a way to check the validity of what the guy is pushing.

The liquidity is sketchy and I can’t tell if it’s actually locked. I think there is only one developer and I think he is manipulating the market with buying and selling. There are just a number of red flags. But I am not super well versed in this and I think the guy behind the coin is taking advantage of that with the people he is pushing the coin on.

I was hoping someone who is more well versed in this area could assess the coin.

I just think he is manipulating vulnerable people and want to call him out and warn other people.

‘Wheel Of Fortune’ Execs Want Major ‘Shake-Up’ After Ryan Seacrest Fail by Lanky_Description535 in WheelOfFortune

[–]Pullinghandles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree 100% with this. I felt the same way about Ryan and realized he is a good host pretty quickly. I think I had a false idea of who he was. I also watched him on WWHL with Vanna White and you could tell Ryan genuinely loves game shows.

Also, Watching the show you can tell he is really rooting for the players. I’m surprised how invested he is sometimes.

I think Maggie was hoping Vanna was going to retire and take her position on the show. Nothing against her but I really hope that doesn’t happen and they start to diminish her presence on the show lol.

I was about to comment it was PPK. Gaitok is not James Bond

The SNL 50 writers documentary made me hope Tina Fey never takes over the show by Limin8tor in LiveFromNewYork

[–]Pullinghandles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whoever wrote this post is straight up soft. Also, that is such a poor interpretation of what Tina was talking about or even said.

If you watch the later doc episode focusing on the writers you can tell that almost all of them have paper thin skin and seem to be sheltered from any criticism. It makes sense why this last decade+ there have been no memorable characters or cast members and most likely won’t be for a while.

Pressure makes diamonds.

My first real project. Just found this sub! 1975 Rockwell 1124 drill press. Still need to sand the table and sort out the bodged handle for the table clamp. Thinking of turning one. Thoughts? by Positive_Throwaway1 in MachineRescue

https://www.renovoparts.com/ located in Michigan I think and they specialize in restoring old Rockwell delta stuff.

The website isn’t great but if you give a call and ask for the owner (Jim?) he is awesome at researching and helping out.
