Observational humor drives low-key 'For Your Consideration'
In the wake of the viciously satirical comedy ÂBorat,Â- Christopher GuestÂ's low-key Hollywood send-up ÂFor Your ConsiderationÂ- seems downright quaint. The writer/actor/director may be lampooning the late-year movie awards season, but he refuses to condemn the actions of his self-absorbed targets outright. Instead, he regards his oddball characters with the same warmth and affection that audiences have for his stellar cast, most of whom have been Guest regulars since 1996Â's ÂWaiting for Guffman.Â-

Saturday Night Live
I caught a second-run <em>Saturday Night Live</em>-one of last season's highlights, I gathered. [Starlet A] was hosting, plugging her latest theatrical release. She was wearing a classy chiffon dress that framed her classy chest. The camera cut close as she cracked a punchline and even without the razor-sharp picture promised by [Consumer Electronics Manufacturer 1]'s new line of high-definition televisions, I could see the freckle islands spotting her creamy white ocean of skin. Skin is [Starlet A]'s fifth best feature, following hair, tits, ass, and sass.
