Glengarry Glen Christmas
I was just turned on to this SNL skit by a co-worker where super-host Alec Baldwin reprises his role in a parody of one of my favorite movies GlenGarry Glen Ross. It is a pretty funny skit, but based on the laughter, it seems that quite a bit of the live audience isn't aware of the parody - as hard as seems. (BTW...this is one of two movies that Nat ABSOLUTELY hates. The other is T he Last Waltz . She thinks they're both beyond boring! I've tried to convince her to give them a second chance...but no luck!) Back to the sketch.....Sure the audience members laugh at the "Always Be Closing" line - but I think that's because the players like Seth Meyers can't help but giggle. Maybe I'm wrong? And...the live audience is smarter/more savvy than I think? They seem to be laughing at how harsh Baldwin is to the elves and not at the parody? Overthinking it? Maybe. Elf you! Go home and play with your kids!
