![]() ![]() Ok, so maybe a little too much ease, with all of Gosling’s character-breaking laughing, but no big harm and not too much foul there. With Blade Runner 2049 about to drop, the heat-seeking Gosling was an obvious catch, and his ease on the SNL stage guided the cast-shaken series through any first-night jitters. Lorne Michael’s wisest move of the just-beginning season 43 was hiring the ever convivial – if way too giggly – Ryan Gosling as its first host. Previous Saturday Night Live made yet another fine casting choice last night, though it had nothing to do with political doppelgangers (though there was plenty of that too). Watch Che’s segment above, at about the 1:47 mark. Trump touched a nerve, and now Che is doing the same. The moment seems especially powerful because the laconic Che drops his usual cool and shows, for a quick second, some righteous anger. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.Sinéad O'Connor Dies: 'Nothing Compares 2 U' Singer Who Got Banned From 'SNL' Was 56 (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.) That’s why, even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. It’s important that we have several ways we make money, just like it’s important for you to have a diversified retirement portfolio to weather the ups and downs of the stock market. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world - not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. ![]() We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.įirst, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism? And in that moment, Ryan Gosling is all of us. “I know what you did!” he screams at the director. His distraction causes him to wreck his car - at which point he spots Cameron smirking at him from the front window. After a failed attempt to explain the issue to his therapist, played by a baffled Kate McKinnon, we see him driving around and brooding, not unlike his character in Drive.Įventually, he winds up stalking Cameron outside the director’s house. In this short but hilarious skit, Gosling’s character can’t stop obsessing over the laziness of Cameron’s decision to slap a slightly modified version of Papyrus onto a movie that cost $237 million to produce. The film, one of the most expensive movies ever made, had an inexplicably pedestrian film title design that typeface nerds have long been mocking: It uses Papyrus - a default computer font.Īs far as fonts go, Papyrus isn’t quite as laughable as the beloved joke that is Comic Sans, but it’s pretty close. ![]() Host Ryan Gosling spoofed his own portrayal of a moody psychopath (with feelings!) in 2011’s Drive by portraying a man haunted by a particular design choice in James Cameron’s 2009 blockbuster Avatar.
