Date: July 25th, 2025 8:32 PM Author: Razzle-dazzle dysfunction Adam Sandler is and always has been hugely overrated, most of his movies are objectively bad but he manages to pull off a few scenes that somehow stick. I strongly suspect this will be pure 100% fan service with very, very lame "jokes" mostly related to winking at the audience about how the cameo in any particular scene is fun and a callback to the original, lowest form of "comedy" possible in other words (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5754655&forum_id=2#49131688) |

Date: July 26th, 2025 12:16 AM Author: seedy obsidian main people roommate studios used to crank out 100s of them a year. and most barely needed marketing: people would go to the movies and see pick a comedy out of hat. only the blockbusters needed a ton lf marketing, and that left little for anything else beside freebie "now playing" and "coming attractions."
in that world he was the master of comedy movies. he was great at doing memorable scenes and *really* catchy lines. that's literally his entire opera man character. and across school yards people were saying "i award you no points" and "the price is wrong, bitch."
maybe you were a precocious kid (re: arrogant nerd.) maybe you were watching monty python or mel brooks. maybe you wore a black knight t-shirt with no arms and legs, and talked like the simpsons book guy, looking down on the other 14 year old boys for their juvenile interests. and then one day you watched the holy grail again and realized you only liked the slapstick and snored through the smart dry humoe. and then watched life of brian and realized you thought it wasnt great because you didn't get it at the time and there's too much talking.
saying adam sandler sucks is like saying ninja turtles or pokemon sucks. you might as well say barneys message of friendship is saceine and superficial. these aren't for you.
and now you've missed out some cultural touchstones. when some guys are sitting around loling at "get in the hole!" you'll internally mutter "how droll." nevermind the fact that for 20 yeaea you've moderated a forum where the pinnacle of wit is puerile stuff like "im gay" or a Halfordian number. because you're taking it too seriously and not allowing yourselt to enjoy some mindless lowbrow fun. and you were taking yourself to seriously then, too. which is more than a little sad, and it got you was not being able to reminisce about being on the playground, loving life, not checking commas, and roaring laughing when you friends crosses his eyes and says "get out of here swan!"
edit: this was directed at hank, not ghee. i think i got off on a bit of a tangent haha. |

Rate me as someone whose favorite comedy in high school was Old School
Remember my first really long make out session with a chick was to a Spider-Man (2002) DVD. That girl's kids are in high school now. |

Date: July 26th, 2025 12:42 AM Author: seedy obsidian main people roommate i rate you as me!
i used to instal people's a/v stuff for cash when that came out on dvd. one time i was explaining to this elderly couple how to work things and asked the wife to put in a dvd to have her learn by doing, and she put in old school.
the dvd title screen includes a loop of some of the movies more memorable moments, including the two girls taking their tops off. so there i am explaining how to use picture-in-picture and that the HD channel is different than the channel they're used to and every fiften seconds to uproar emanating from the brand new surround sound system.
the couple began to visibly wince every time the scene came on, but they dutifully listened to my spiel about how the receiver being on analog input isnt surround sound and to make sure theyre on the optical connection. of course im loling internally and putting on my then-unknown Nathan Fielder impression, pretending nothing is unusually. eventually the chinese water torture of being forced to listen to explain plasma burn in and not to leave 4:3 on bedause the black bars would be noticeably brighter than the center in widescreen when finally broke the wife and she made a mad dash to shut off the dvd player while spouting a punctionless gift of apologies and excuses
"imsosorrysomeonegotusthatwehaventseenitmaybeitsgoosbuticantkeepwatchingthosewomenohgodinheaven!"
i doubt they hears one word i said but were too embarassed to have me come back to rexplain. which was agonizing and common with olds. if i was bolder i would have justed old school as my test dvd on every elderly installation. |

Date: July 26th, 2025 12:49 AM Author: abusive awkward old irish cottage business firm I had it downloaded in low bitrate on my Dell laptop. I put it on once while making out with my hs gf (this was different than Spider Man chick). We were macking on each other and I went to get up to go to the bathroom and she was wearing a skirt and her panties were soaked looked like she peed herself. And I had precum on my jeans. Those were the days.
She used to send me lewds on Verizon's online MMS service and I would get a notification and I had to log onto the website and download the file. They were like 25 kb. Ultra blurry. We thought we were living in the future. |

Date: July 26th, 2025 1:05 AM Author: seedy obsidian main people roommate but you said "and always has been", but he was very accurately rated as 180 by teenaged boys on the scale of "movies funny to teens in 1996."
of course this is a blatant nosgalia grab and is going to suck ass like all the sequels that come 30 years after. have any of them been good? the studios are filled with people who when they first started reboots had the genius of "uh how about Ghostbusters but instead of Murray, Ramis, and Ackroyds deadpanedness it's a bunch of shrill shrews using canned IBS gas instead of ectoplasm."
despite their glitering degrees, industry acoldates, and woke bona fides they someone missed the fact that white men aged 35-49 have all the money and power in UMC households and always will. and after putting on their thinking caps they concluded "i think the like sandlers shit? maybe we should have him do some even though he hasnt had a hit in decades because his formula is old.".
i hear tires is good, at least. |

Date: July 26th, 2025 1:09 AM Author: Razzle-dazzle dysfunction for me Kingpin was a better 90's comedy than anything Sandler ever did and by a margin so wide you really should have to admit Sandler kind of always sucked, you can show tits and make dick jokes in a clever way, Sandler was never clever, just loud and it grates me now (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5754655&forum_id=2#49132084) |

woody harrelson is doing commercials now. why didnt he get a boatload of cash to make kingpin 2?
what don't you get about *BROAD* comedy? norm is the consensus best comedian of that era and his movies bombed. it's because these movies are for DUMB, BROAD entertainment. its for being able to not pay attention and still laugh because you're trying to unhook carols bra but you only have one hand and it's got three fucking clasps oh fuck it just slide in under the cup...

|
Date: July 26th, 2025 1:41 AM Author: seedy obsidian main people roommate not flame had to google it to be reminded. if you asked 10 people on the street id be bowled over if 2 remembered "pixels" and any knew it to be an "adam sandler"
and it's not a happy madision style comedy. i intentionally also put "forumula" in there to avoid confusion with his other comedic works. and youd have been better of usin hustle and click as an example over pixels.
pixels? seriously? answer truthfully: did you know pixels stared adam sandler and had earned more than it's budget or did you just look up the silly movied he made on his Wikipedia filmography and name (10 years ago btw). |
|
Date: July 26th, 2025 1:54 AM Author: abusive awkward old irish cottage business firm I actually knew some people who worked on the film.
I also believe it was mentioned in the Sony email leaks when North Korea hacked them over the Seth Rogan movie about Kim Jong Un. There was some back and forth between the executives about how bad it sucked but the consensus was that Sandler was a cash cow that kept the lights on and made everyone money despite decades of unwatchable dreck. I'm paraphrasing but you can look it up for yourself. |
|
Date: July 26th, 2025 2:04 AM Author: seedy obsidian main people roommate you see this isnt about whether adam sandler was making the movie industry money in 2015, it's about whether he's had hits on the happy madision formula recently, and he hasnt.
maybe ridiculousness 6 or grown ups 2 made a boatload of money because of Producers styles jew Hollywood accounting. that has nothing to do with what i said, and you seemed to have missed the point |
|
Date: July 26th, 2025 2:07 AM Author: abusive awkward old irish cottage business firm I definitely missed the point. I don't know what you're getting at.
What you're calling Hollywood accounting is just a shift towards overseas markets. They stopped caring whether these movies made money domestically because they were selling so well overseas. If anything Happy Gilmore 2 will appeal much more to domestic market. Can't see it really being big in China and Brazil but what do I know. |
|
Date: July 26th, 2025 2:18 AM Author: seedy obsidian main people roommate no, what im calling "hollywood accounting" is spurious system used the film industry know as "hollywood accounting" which you would know if you simply googled "hollywood accounting" rather than talking about international marketing.
my point is that the studios don't know what middle-aged white men want even though they're the primo demographic, because its all filled with buttplug people |

Date: July 25th, 2025 10:50 PM Author: Hateful idiotic gay wizard travel guidebook Adam Sandler is clearly some sort of genius that I just don't understand.
His movies are massively successful. David Spade was talking on a podcast about how Sandler is difficult to work with sometimes because he has such a specific vision in his head.
But then he's just like - I'm going to cast Travis Kelce in this comedy movie. Or even though Kevin James loves working with him- he just casts Rex Ryan. I think Bad Bunny is in this movie too.
It's like he's a genius chef whose realized his dishes have to be like 30% garbage in order to be popular. |
