I was looking for some Saturday Night Live skits on Google Video today and found a couple older ones that are just great.

The first is from what I consider the best SNL ever, when Jim Carrey hosted. I don’t know if he’s hosted multiple times, but this one was amazing. I believe it was also the very first sketch with the Night at the Roxbury guys. Anyway, this sketch has Will Farrell trying to relax in a hot tub. Jim Carrey shows up in lifeguard garb and takes over. He is completely obnoxious and awesome. My favorite line: “…next thing you know, a body goes under and there’s bloated carcass stuck in the filter!”

Next is a commercial for a car for crazy people. Also starring Will Farrell, this is one of my favorite commercials on SNL. The sink to wash your hands every five minutes and the total randomness of other things makes it wonderful.

Tonight was the final for The Ultimate Fighter season 2. Rashad Evans beat Brad Imes and Joe Stevenson beat Luke Cummo. Both were great fights, both went to decisions. The main event was also a great fight that went to the judges. It was a great night of fighting, the UFC is getting better all the time.

It’s been years that I’ve waited for Apple to do this. From the preview videos, it looks like they’ve really done it right. I’d better upgrade from my 2nd gen iPod.

I’m a regular viewer of SpikeTV’s Ultimate Fighter, now in its second season. Tonight’s show was the best yet. Jorge, who I picked to win the Welterweight class, finally fought. He fought the loose cannon of the show, Jason. Well, at first he was a loose cannon, since he showed up though, he’s really mellowed out.

Jason impressed me with his honesty before the fight. He admitted he was very nervous, excited, and had no idea how he was going to beat Jorge. The first round belonged to Jorge, but Jason wasn’t backing down. In the next two rounds, Jason did just what he needed to get the advantage. Jorge did all he could, but in the end, Jason put up the better fight. Very impressive.

Jason fights freestyle and has glimpses of last year’s Light Heavyweight champ, Forrest Griffin. Both fighters tonight have tons of heart, and I expect to see both of them in UFC fights when the show is over. Jorge will get surgery on his knee, then he can fight at full strength again.

Great show!

The creator of two quality movies, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch has made another film titled Revolver. I first saw Ritchie’s work when I rented Snatch a few years back. I remember watching it all by myself initially and I couldn’t wait to tell people I knew about the movie. Great cinematography, music, wit, and acting. Shortly after that, I rented Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and enjoyed it – not at the same level, but I found it entertaining.

So I don’t know much of what Revolver is about, but it looks to have potential. Jason Statham will once again star in the movie. I like his look in this one, very grizzled.

The trailer can be seen here:

It hits theaters tomorrow, Sept 22, 2005. Living in St. George, Utah means that I’m pretty sure I won’t have the chance to see the movie unless I drive to Vegas. Movies with any sense of style generally skip the theaters here. I had to wait to see I Heart Huckabees on DVD, and I think it may be the same with this movie.
