Tater Totts Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Happy Gilmore - unfunny and stupid, which is not a good combination. I don't think I've seen a good Adam Sandler flick yet and it's doubtful one even exists.Thank you, thank you, thank you! Goddamn, his movies are always fucking shit, it's amazing how anyone really enjoys those unfunny pieces of crap. It's also so annoying how his movies are always a fucking moralizer in the end. The last Sandler movie I had to endure was "Click", and it was so bad I started reading a magazine midway, only to finish it right before that cringeworthy ending. I wanted to vomit so bad but the Pizza I had before had been too good to waste it because of a fucking Adam Sandler movie./rant over.Looking through his filmography.I agree, there is not a single good one there.Maybe bearable but that is far from good.

Lithium Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Anyone who doesn't like Adam Sandler should see Punch Drunk Love and Reign Over Me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appetite4illusions Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Really just Punch-Drunk. PTA turned his man-child routine into one of the most endearing unsung-heroes of the last decade.Reign Over Me really turned me off with its pretension. It seemed all too easy to make a film about a fucked up guy with a 9/11 association. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a few of his films and sure they are similar but that's how it is. He can be funny sometimes but I suppose it depends on your tastes. I saw Reign Over Me whenever ago and seeing Sandler do a serious role was surprising. I thought he played messed up really well.Mean Streets - The first film I've watched in a while because I just haven't had the time as of late. It's weird seeing Robert De Niro looking like Izzy.

PappyTron Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Watched "Righteous Kill" last night. It was okay, but it is sad to see De Niro and Pacino chew so much wood. When are they going to rediscover their acting mojo, Pacino in particular? I guess this is what happens when you are old and rich and have no need to push yourself.

Jim Carrey can be funny, not necessarily in his movies, but in random skits and pieces I've seen over the years, whereas Adam Sandler is just plain shit.

LaBellaVita Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) watching united 93 for school. i think over time we've just been kind of desensitized to these types of things,but to actually think about that happening is so unnerving it's unbelievable. understatement, i know..

Lithium Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Just got back from Roman Polanski's latest film, The Ghost Writer. It's the weakest Polanski-film I've seen, but still enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binge_And_Slash Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 (edited) The only Jim Carrey movie I kinda liked was The Truman Show,This. The rest are crapBatman Forever? I dunno, I like most of Carrey's films. I'll agree the earlier ones are goofy - Ace Ventura, Dumb and Dumber, even Liar Liar to a degree...But The Mask is hilarious - It's got to be one of the few films I can watch over and over, and STILL laugh out loud. The Cable Guy is brilliant in it's own dark and twisted way (and I'll defend that no matter what anyone says.) And I was quite fond of Yes Man.Fun with Dick and Jane left a little to be desired, but did have it's moments, I really enjoyed him in The Number 23, and Eternal Sunshine.But I guess you either love him or hate him, and because I started following his career since childhood, I've grown pretty attatched to his career.

Angelica Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Re Sandler, in a guilty, goofy way, I still dig The Waterboy, Little Nicky and The Wedding Singer. Actually, Zohan also had it's moments. But I never found Gilmore or Billy Madison funny. Ace Ventura, Dumb & Dumber and especially The Cable Guy, which I will defend to the end of time, still work for me. Also the non-mawkish parts of Liar, Liar. In terms of their comedies, they both lurched towards excessive sentimentality after becoming superstars, and I can't stand either if them anymore on that basis. Eternal Sunshine... and The Truman Show are true masterworks, though. History will remember Carrey with a good deal more fondness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rumour is that the extended editions will come out along with the first Hobbit film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
