Admission. Into Tina Fey's vagina, I guess.

Anyone worried this banal-seeming rom-com marks the beginning of the end for Ms. Fey?

Anyone else hear the Jaws theme?

Tina Fey needs to go away already. She and Alec Baldwin should do us all a favor and retire far far away from anything labelled 'comedy.'

Not here. She's been the source of so much top notch comedy for so long, that it's understandable that she would take a misstep here and there, and can be expected to return to the great heights.

People said similar about Baby Mama, btw. She bounced right back up thereafter.

Ah, yes, Baby Mama. You raise a good point there.

Still, that was ultimately a buddy flick for her and her BFF Amy Poehler, don't you think? I think people might be more forgiving there. This seems more like a Gigli. Although I guess Ben Affleck turned out all right, too.

Has she ever been in a good movie? Maybe she just needs to get another TV show going. Hard to know what, though. Late night?

Drewish-- I couldn't disagree more. But don't let that stop you from presenting your case.

Oh! Actually, Mean Girls was a great movie. But while that was her baby, she wasn't the star.

Anything else?

I've not long started watching 30 Rock. It comments a lot on the idea of generic hollywood shit being made, especially by Tracy Jordan. So it's not as if she's immune to the fact that trite generic shit sells. I think a lot of actors and writers on the Big Screen are taking what they can get at the moment because cinema is dying on it's arse. (Not film-making, but Cinema.)

This is true. But I read her memoir, and she claims Darryl Hammond is a DaVinci of comedy, which makes me think her judgement isn't always so spot-on.

And I wonder if part of it is she's finally a Pretty Girl (not that she hasn't always been pretty, but now she sells shampoo and cosmetics and gets on Red Carpet best-dressed lists and such) and maybe she's taking her moment to enjoy that. Might be extra sweet since she's older than most ingenues...

I used to be of the naive opinion that artists don't shill, but if anything the opposite has mostly always been the case, so good luck to her.

I watched one episode of 30 Rock. I didn't get the big deal.

Bring back Mary Tyler Moore show for me.

I wasn't dissing her commercial ventures. I wouldn't turn down a chance to make that kind of money. And I definitely wouldn't turn down the opportunity to wear gorgeous designer dresses for glamorous events.

The sense I get is that this sort of thing is new for her, relative to her other extensive show biz experience. I was just wondering if being a lead in a straight-up romantic comedy is part of that.

Bossypants was a tremendous book. If she falls on hard times, she can just write more of that.
