Also, "she-beasts" said by Alec Baldwin will always be funny.

Well! Who knew that I could find 30 Rock to be right up my alley when it's done live? Despite acknowledging 30 Rock is a clever show, I haven't been able to get into it, partly because there is no "normal view" character; they're ALL nuts. But the interaction of the actors with a live audience had me rolling. The tricks needed for quick cuts and flashbacks, the actors' pauses for laughter and their trying to keep character, and all the fourth-wall breaking in a show that had a plotline about fourth-wall breaking, wow, hilarious. I dunno, maybe 30 Rock would grab me more with a laugh track? I know laugh tracks are as passé as a mullet hairstyle, but I wonder. It may just be that I usually prefer live comedy. Always preferred stand-up comedy to sitcoms.

And may I say that I might, MIGHT, be starting to find Matt Damon slightly appealing as he ages. My reaction to him has always been, "Yes, he's talented. MiGOD he's ugly and I can't see what anyone sees in him." That might have changed. He's less squished-looking now.

Ahahaha, I find Matt Damon is definitely an acquired taste. There was a time when I enjoyed him best when I kept my eyes closed and just listened to him, but for some strange reason I thought he looked great in Good Will Hunting and since then I haven't minded him much (though I also don't go out of my way to watch his movies). I think it's because compared to Ben Affleck, just about anyone looks good...

See, Ben Affleck is actually my type! :D Go figure.

I haven't seen the ep yet, but I agreed re: Matt Damon. His features are less flat and shiny and... larval ... these days. Some scruff and grey hair have also gone a long way towards handsomizing him, imo. Plus, I think he exudes less cockiness and more depth as he gets older, which is also attractive.

Larval. *cracks up*

In the same way babies are more appealing once the wrinkles have smoothed out. *nods*

That squinchy-looking face! Better now. Rather better.

For me, replace "Matt Damon" in that paragraph with "Leonardo DiCaprio". Except that I still find Leo pretty squished-looking.

Leo's actually hit all my buttons since his Titanic days. *pinches his cheek*

It's been awkward hearing everyone fangirl Matt Damon and I have to say, "I prefer Affleck, actually..."
