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
May God have mercy on your soul.
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!
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 hear you. I was always a skinny kid, but I went through some bad, traumatic shit in my early twenties and ballooned up - from 105 to 177 as a 5’0" woman. Being obese sucked and I’ve worked super hard to get the weight off and keep it off. But in the meantime the HAES / fat acceptance thing took off and now I feel like I’m living in bizarro world. I hated being obese for so many reasons and can’t imagine how people can convince themselves that it’s okay to just remain like that. I mean, to each their own, but they’re setting themselves up for disease and disability. I think it’s really sad.
I feel heard for the first time. I’m 6’3" and ~165lbs these days and I hear so consistently I’m skin and bones. As if I don’t still have a healthy gut/spare tire.
I’m mostly surprised you didn’t touch on clothes not being made for what used to be the most standard of body sizes.
Know you aren’t alone if nothing else.
You mean you don’t like t-shirts made with the dimensions of a cardboard box? Interesting.
Wut
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.
Work on your reading comprehension buddy
“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.
You’re goddamn right we do.
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.
before looks healthy, after looks like he’ll die from a week without food
This is him and his wife, so pretty realistic
He would look approximately 46.2% better if he didn’t dress like this.
Dude dresses like a child. I’ve seen this look often on American adults, it is interesting
He’s pregnant, cut him some slack.
It’s his brand!
I think his style is what makes him look better lol
Counterpoint: IRL Adam Sandler has money and personality.
He seems pretty nice tbh
And pretty rich.
Very much pretty rich indeed
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?

Or just post cosplay.
I’d struggle to name a more cosplayed pair of characters in the genre.
Harder for nintendo to sue you though, so probably a safer bet to use AI. If Nintendo goes after the AI and gets it shut down we all win anyway

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.
His movies are just group trips to nice places with his friends and they all get paid. The great friend part seems to check out if you ask me.
Basically none of them are amazing movies but everyone gets paid. Sometimes for going to a tropical resort.

Sandler turned out a number of genuine hits. Uncut Gems was a serious work of art. Happy Gilmore was a fun modern take on Caddyshack. 50 First Dates was as legit a RomCom as has ever been produced.
But he’s also turned out so much slop that it can be easy to lose the wheat amid the chaffe.
Okay tbh I phrased it a bit differently from what I meant. I did mean that most aren’t amazing, not that none are.
The slop I think is just there for a regular pay checks and fun with friends, whereas the good movies are to fuel the creative fire.
Ohh, 50 First Dates <3
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.
Also every Ben Stiller romcom (and most his other movies too). Dude’s got a hangup on cute blondes, we get it already.
Also every Ben Stiller romcom
Ben Stiller is a grade A certified piece of ass and I’d break off a piece in a heartbeat.
Here’s some more pics of Thirst Trap Ben
Aren’t half those cute blondes his actual wife?
Were, I think.
And for Sandler it’s pretty much just Drew Barrymore, again. Three is a lot.
Yep lol
Hey Dude!
Except Ben Stiller doesnt look weird and goofy like Adam Sandler. And his comedy isn’t horrible cringe either.
ben stiller is funny, especially cause he has a serious looking face. this comedy doesn’t have to lean into “oh look I’m a funny face”.
But Adam Sandler movies just generally aren’t funny either. Like, the jokes aren’t good.
Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston is like what I imagine my parents’ Tom Hanks and Meg Ryans felt like. I will literally watch any cheesy direct-to-streaming B-rate romcom with the two of them in it. They’re so dorky and cute together I love them.
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.
He’s Woody Allen with grossout gags instead of pseudointellectualism.
Have you looked at Woody Allen flicks? And its chicks?
