Alec Baldwin and Kate McKinnon's satire of the presidential election continued on this week's ­"Saturday Night Live" with a parody of the town hall debate on Oct. 9, featuring Donald Trump's antics and Hillary Clinton's zingers.

But the biggest laughs came from Baldwin's ­portrayal of a stalking, lewd, deceptive Trump. The live SNL audience seemed to think it was hilarious; the real Trump did not.

In a tweet, the Republican nominee said, "Watched Saturday Night Live hit job on me. Time to retire the boring and unfunny show. Alec Baldwin portrayal stinks. Media rigging election!"

Trump has a long history with SNL. He hosted the show 11 months ago — for the second time. His first hosting job was in 2004, though he has been impersonated dozens of times.

On Nov. 8 2015, he tweeted: "Amazing evening at Saturday Night Live!"

Best picture in London is Montana drama

Writer-director Kelly Reichardt's spare and subtle Montana drama "Certain Women" won the best picture prize Saturday at the London Film Festival. A jury praised the masterful imagery and quiet modesty of Reichardt's film about three women — played by Kristen Stewart, Michelle Williams and Laura Dern — struggling with life in a chilly small town. Steve McQueen, a British director and Turner Prize-winning video artist, was presented with the British Film Institute Fellowship award by actor Michael Fassbender, who has appeared in all three of the director's feature films — "Hunger," "Shame" and "12 Years a Slave."

Assange gets help from a friend

Former "Baywatch" star Pamela Anderson has brought WikiLeaks chief Julian Assange a vegan meal and expressed concern for his health. She told Britain's Press Association on Sunday that she brought Assange "a nice vegan lunch and some vegan snacks" the day before. Assange has sought refuge at the Ecuadorean Embassy in central London for more than four years to avoid returning to Sweden, which is seeking his extradition in a rape investigation. He denies the rape allegation and says he fears being extradited to the U.S. to face espionage charges if he leaves. Anderson joked that Assange wasn't pleased with her meal choice, saying, "He said I tortured him with bringing him vegan food."

'love story' star: Actress and longtime New Mexico resident Ali MacGraw was honored Sunday as one of four new "Santa Fe Living Treasures." She has lived in Tesuque in Santa Fe County since 1994.
