Donald Trump … well, let's put it this way: there's an extremely good chance that he's the most ridiculous person to ever exist in the history of humans existing. You can't even make up some of the things he says and does, and hey, why would you want to? He's consistently outrageous, offensive, and just plain absurd . But if you call him out on it? Well, what a big ol' bully you are, you mean thing, you! Still, Saturday Night Live has done a masterful job of making fun of Trump , and despite the protests of the man himself, they just keep on keepin' on. Alec Baldwin has played Trump so beautifully in skits based on all three debates, and one more after the election results were in. And last night, Baldwin came back again for a very, very funny skit about Donald's bizarre tweeting habits . You can check out the delightful video below, but if you need convincing, know that it was so good that Trump felt the need to defend himself on Twitter. Yes, he saw SNL making fun of him for tweeting too much, and he tweeted about it. “Just tried watching Saturday Night Live – unwatchable!” he wrote. “Totally biased, not funny and the Baldwin impersonation just can't get any worse. Sad.” Here, you're going to want to watch the magic for yourself:

Another Monday morning, and thus another look at what carnage The Avengers has wrought at the weekend box office. And while things aren’t as bad as they may look at first for Battleship and the rest of the competition, they’re not what you’d call pretty. Your Weekend Receipts are here. 1. The Avengers Gross: $55,057,000 ($457,078,000) Screens: 4,249 (PSA $12,958) Weeks: 3 (Change: -46.6%) Marvel’s megahit settled into No. 10 all-time in terms of domestic gross, No. 6 all-time in terms of global gross, and became the highest-grossing US release ever for Disney… in three weeks . It should wind up in top three in all the major box-office categories by the time it’s done, leaving unanswered only the question of where it will stand two months from now against The Dark Knight Rises . Which I’m sure is a question you are very much preoccupying yourself with. Anyway, hats off to all. 2. Battleship Gross: $25,300,000 (new) Screens: 3,690 (PSA: $6,856) Weeks: 1 Did Hasbro and Universal want a better domestic turnout for their huge-budget board-game spectacular? Of course they did. Is this the worst-case scenario for either/or/both? Hardly, especially after a foreign run that has already pulled in $215 million. John Carter it’s not , though don’t be surprised if you happen to see at least one head rolling around the studio lot sometime in the next or two. Whose will it be? Place your wager in the comments! 3. The Dictator Gross: $17,415,000 ($24,456,000) Screens: 3,008 (PSA $5,790) Weeks: 1 On the one hand, not a terrible showing on a congested weekend for an R-rated comedy full of Sacha Baron Cohen’s usual shtick. On the other, shtick aside, we finally get an original script not based on a board-game, a self-help book, a ’60s TV show, etc., and it lurches quietly into third place. I feel like we need to support these things on principle, folks. So what if you only laugh four times in 80 minutes? It’s better than throwing up in your mouth four times or renouncing moviegoing altogether, no? OK, don’t answer that. 4. Dark Shadows Gross: $12,770,000 ($50,908,000) Screens: 3,755 (PSA $3,401) Weeks: 2 (Change: -57.0%) Oy: A 57 percent drop in week two for a Johnny Depp film — his worst since Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End plunged 61.5 percent in 2007. Of course, that was after a $139 million Memorial Day opening , so… yeah. Perspective. Not good. 5. What to Expect When You’re Expecting Gross: $10,500,000 (new) Screens: 3,021 (PSA: $3,476) Weeks: 1 Yikes! And the reviews were so good , too. [Figures via Box Office Mojo ] Follow S.T.

The troubling disappearance of Nick Stahl into the missing-persons netherworld has a happy-ish ending: After contacting friends with news of his condition (read: alive), the actor checked himself into a rehab facility Saturday. His wife took her relief to Twitter , naturally: “Healing! Love for all. I am in recovery. But in no way do I or even should I represent recovery. I’m far to [sic] fallible. But again, I do hope that there is a silver lining to this event and I have been truly inspired to keep on keepin on. I have no more comments.” Anyway! This happened. [ E! ]
