I still haven't seen more than a couple of little clips but, having had the night to think about it, I have come up with the following thoughts re SNL:
... Daniel REALLY surprised me with the depth of his bravery and confidence when doing this. It's not that I don't have faith in him. It was just such a departure. I actually like 'intense and brooding' Daniel but I realise he has MANY facets to his personality. Being a Pisces (like me), he probably changes his mood every five minutes anyway...
...After viewing the promo piece, I also expected the SNL cast to be "dancing around" Daniel and he would just roll his eyes and act all sarcastic at their silliness. I didn't expect him to get silly too by being a definite character in a sketch!!
...At least we get to hear him say the word "sexual".. in the Regine clip, the one piece I got to see some of.
...I don't think the Daniel of 2006 would have even considered doing something like this! It just goes to show that he has changed a lot since CR. Is he now exhibiting a greater confidence in his creative abilities by doing SNL?
...I really did love the promo clip! Let's put it this way, I'm never going to eat a cupcake in the same way again!!
...How can Daniel say no to being interviewed by Jonathan Ross now??? SNL is 100 times sillier than anything JR can conjure!
...Some of SNL is too 'Monty Python', or it tries to be. I love Monty Python and some American comedy is great. But I don't think the 'man in a dress' sketch works quite as well on SNL as it did on MP. That's NO disrespect to anyone American. Certain types of humour do not always translate. MP was really very surreal...
...I wonder if Daniel did SNL to woo an American audience since he seems to spend a good deal of his time Stateside now. We Brits like to feel that he belongs to US because he is English. Perhaps he needs to establish himself and find a niche in the USA if he is going to advance and continue making international movies?
...I bet he was hyper when filming stopped!!! Although he looks pretty tired in the pix posted when he was leaving the After Show party.
If anyone finds any additional clips to those already posted, please can they point me in the direction?
