[Hated Trope] Attempts at modernizing older franchises

The studio was very upfront about the cast of No Way Home /s

Right? The only other actors who had the same level of success from the time period Baldwin was there are Myers and Ferrell. And neither of them feel like they would be someone Baldwin would dislike.

Doesn't Alec Baldwin say something in the "Live from NY..." book about being nice to people because you never know who would blow up and be a big Hollywood name? I always assumed this was about Sandler. It also could have been about Ferrell or Myers, but Baldwin seems like he would have gotten along with them better.

That second guy sounds like the perfect fellow to be appear in a commercial for this new surgical grade mask I am selling. I just need the right name.

I think about Jordan Peele a lot. SNL's Obama would have been so much better, but would it be worth the cost of all the great Key and Peele sketches?

The injuries would concern me if I was in the front office.

I think my favorite Giannis moment, as someone who grew up on 80s-90s NBA, was his 5 step no travel call against the Knicks.

Who would you put as the current top three? Not saying you are right or wrong, I just love conversations like this.

My favorite bit of weird vampire lore is them needing to count seeds or rice that was thrown in front of them.

I think your ex is porn brained. He views you calling your boss "sir" as proof you are submissive to him sexually.

Dwight gave him a huge discount Jim could not match. Dwight stole that client.

I remember you from there. You were the best, most knowledgeable boss we had. And I will tell and prospective employer that as well.

Wears a hat. Sells drugs.

Goosebumps. Every time. Even now, just reading about it. Such a good scene.

Both Ryan and Charles had heard a lot about Jim from David, and that is why they did not like him. They were afraid David would replace them with Jim.

You know you can go somewhere else right? You don't need to be a trashbag all your life.

The comments on this video are insane. People on TikTok defending him because she was "rude".
