Re: movies
I'm really hoping Sandler has an Affleck's Argo moment in him. It's getting depressing. I love him dearly, but by all accounts his newest is just more of the same garbage.
I should say I wasn't expecting much. But maybe at least a 'might be ok for kids.'

It shouldn't have taken this long, but The Cobbler was it for me. I'm insulted and I'm making it a clean break. There is no Punch Drunk Love or Billy Madison on the horizon anyway.

I saw that was on Netflix. It has Sandler and I've enjoyed that writer/director's other stuff. Pretty bad, huh?haltz wrote:It shouldn't have taken this long, but The Cobbler was it for me.

Got my moviepass free trial card in the mail, but the nearby offerings are pretty thin. Probably see Inside Out, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, and Jurassic World though. Assuming I can stop being so [expletive] lazy.

Re: movies
love the sandler discussion.
he was so damn good on SNL (or at least he seemed like it as a youth. because of his current trajectory i find myself questioning his early stuff but still find it funny, generally). madison and gilmore are so good. i remember my brother talking about BM before i'd seen it and after. i just had to see it, him talking about the singing clown bit.
i love the 1st 2 albums he made. i bought his 3rd album and it was OK but that was definitely when i started tuning him out.

His movies, for the most part are crap, but i find them enjoyable and i even will catch myself laughing at them.
dont get me wrong, im not rushing out to the theaters to see Thats My Boy, but ill catch it on cable and ill enjoy the hell out it.
I feel like sandler's criticism is somewhat unjust--he aint tryin to win any oscars here

Re: movies
i agree, he's not trying to win awards (and thats a fine way of entertainment), but he's striking out a lot now.
