Literally every movie after Billy Madison is a carbon copy that doesn’t live up to the insane purity of Billy Madison.
In this three hour lecture, I will show
i would add Happy Gilmore (which came right after Billy Madison) and my wife insists Wedding Singer are added to the cannon before we fire it. otherwise we’re with you, grapeshot loaded tally ho
Billy Madison is trash. Happy Gilmore is amazing. I’ve already made my grave on this hill and added barricades.
The quality of the film degrades with the need to include fart jokes. Like, one or two is cheeky. But it falls off rapidly.
Little Nicky was near the bottom of the barrel
I’m probably remembering wrong but The Longest Yard doesn’t have a love interest in it does it?
Not written by Sandler so doesn’t count.
Ah that’s fair!
Is it really that difficult to find a picture of peach that AI has to be used to make this meme?
It’s also really bad even for AI.
Not only would it have been really, really easy to find a non-AI image, it would have been similarly easy to get better results from image gen. It’s like they went out of their way to find the worst slop possible.
right is the joke that they’re both ugly and malformed?
Men: “Pfft Women wouldn’t date Adam Sandler, they only date muscle bound chads!”
Women:
Dude on the left is still muscular. And looks significantly in better shape that Adam Sandler. There truly is dad bod inflation
i’m someone who grew up fat/ morbidlyobese and is now 160 lbs at 6’0” height, this is real af and talking about weight with anyone now pisses me tf off usually.
people are fat as shit now and it’s entirely normalized. you can’t even say being fat is bad for you without someone asserting that it’s possible to be both overweight and healthy at the same time. it’s not. being overweight at all, let alone fucking obese or morbidly obese, is literally up there with smoking and drinking on the shaving years off your life scale. no one should be made fun of for their body but portions of the fat acceptance movement went too far deluding people into risking their health, and corporate america has been feeding us all literal high calorie slop that is as addicting as fucking drugs.
virtually everyone is at least somewhat overweight now in america, most people are obese, with the rest of the west trending towards the same fate. it’s a gigantic fucking public health crisis. i’ll talk about how i need to lose 10-20 lbs and people will say “tHaT wOuLd mAkE yOu lOoK sIcKlY ThO!?!”… 1. who the fuck cares? it’s my body and idk why vanity is such a big factor for people, anyway. idgaf if being a normal weight for my height would make me look “sickly” in a country like this 2. and it really fucking wouldn’t! i don’t have an eating disorder or anything, and i’m smart enough to objectively measure and maintain my own body. i could stand to lose a few pounds of fat and go to the gym!
i’m sitting here having to have been made fun of my whole childhood for being fat and now ive grown up into bizarro world where everyone is overweight and i’m the weird one again for trying to maintain my body. fuck you guys. my kungfu is better than yours. lmao jk but being fat as a kid is seriously traumatic. not wanting to take your shirt off at pools really sucks and is a part of it but there’s worse stuff. i still don’t really like my body bc i probably will need to have loose skin removal surgery over my torso to look normal. not sure, will try bulking up a bit first but have never been a gymbro or anything like that. maybe it’ll turn out okay.
thanks for coming to the local trauma dump haveawonderfulnightcomeagain.
the data is out, and apparently, calling someone a fat piece of shit, and them believing you, ISN’T an effective wight lost strategy. I guess you gotta care about yourself to work on yourself? so. there’s really no point in telling fat people they are bad and should feel bad.
Wut
“Well, I don’t like men with too many muscles.”
“I didn’t make him for you!”
Janet changed her mind real quick when Brad wasn’t there.
Ah yes, from the documentary film Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Actually that movie wasn’t entirely wrong, the palest people there were a brother/sister incest couple, so they got that right.
Riff and Magenta arguably exhibited the healthiest romantic relationship out of everyone in the film.
I mean, yeah, consent for starters
It’s wild to me that a movie that subversive was made in 1975 and became widely known. Truly ahead of its time.
Slut!
But, see, the problem is… The problem is that… That uh… The problem is that women don’t know what they like!!!
In my experience, the people who really like large muscular men are other men.
Yea, just look at the visual differences between Yaoi and Bara 🐱
I mean… I prefer a slender alluring gentleman…
He looks like a schmuck in both pictures.
I heard people theorize that Sandler has to be an amazing guy and great friend and all the good actors star in his shit movies as a personal favor. I also heard somewhere that at when they finish shooting for the day a boombox automatically appears on the set and it turns into a party.
As someone who works in film, I don’t understand how people would be down with that. Our days are stupid long and exhausting. Everyone usually just wants to get home by the time we finally finish
What do you do? I’m super curious about the ‘behind the scenes’ of the movie industry.
I work in the lighting department! It’s pretty fun work. It’s a little wild and I don’t think it’s for everyone, but I’ve had a lot of way harder jobs that didn’t pay 10% of what I get paid now. The downsides are the incredibly long days, the strange way it works with getting hired; you basically get hired day by day by whomever you made relationships with. Like I’ve never had to “network” before but if you’re competent, pleasant, and willing to work hard, the networking mostly does itself. It’s definitely interesting work. Sometimes I’m in some really swanky private apartment of some really famous person, the next I’m lighting naked models as they writhe around in a bathtub, the next I could be on the street in the rain handling disgusting cables sitting in NYC gutter water, the next I’m working 22hrs in the park on a 100 degree day. It’s wild, but it works for me. I couldn’t go to the same place with the same people everyday. Whenever I did that I was never happy, but I’m pretty content with the amount of variety this work brings
This all sounds really interesting. Much more interesting then all the celebrity gossip that passes as movie news. I would much rather learn about best boys and location managers then about Angelina’s Jolie new diet. I had a crazy idea about making a podcast about it but I have no idea about making podcasts :D
It’s probably a bit easier if you don’t have to care about the quality of the film.
the only good Adam Sandler movie is uncut gems
its a good movie, he is cast perfectly, and he gets punched in the face
Nah punch drunk love is also really good
counterpoint: eight crazy nights absolutely slapped when i was 11
I just watched it the other day and I still love it. Probably the nostalgia speaking, more than it actually being good, though, haha
He has a number of good movies. I guess because the most popular means visible movies are his slop comides for the whole family his “real” movies kinda goes under the radar.
Uncut gems is a masterpiece but I wanna mention Spaceman because it is fantastic. It is kinda the opposite of Uncut gems, if the first is like fast pace on the edge of you seat that you spend the whole movie holding your breath that shit is about to hit the fan, Spaceman is super slow and introspective, big great nonetheless.
I think the only exception is Punch Drunk Love which is coincidentally also the best movie he ever made
It was written and directed by someone else entirely. Adam Sandler just stars in the movie. Anything actually good he’s been in hasn’t been one of his own projects.
One of my favorite movie anecdotes is that during some press conference promoting Magnolia someone asked Paul Thomas Anderson what his next movie is going to be and he said “a comedy with Adam Sandler” and everyone laughed. And then he made Punch Drunk Love.
Also, Reign over Me was also pretty good.
