Just Eli Roth. Horrible director of shitty movies, who is so smug and arrogant about everything that you can literally see it on his face.

The best thing Eli Roth has ever done is Thanksgiving trailer.
He's been wanting to do a "Thanksgiving" movie for a while, but it keeps getting postponed. Apparently, his next one is a cannibal movie inspired by the ones Italy used to make.

13 million estimated opening weekend. Amazingly with a budget listed at 70 million. So likely to finish with half of its budget domestic unless it holds up big time.

Wow this could be the beginning of the end of Sandler as a viable entity in Hollywood? That's a pretty terrible opening.

Of course if you are a Jew in Hollywood.....

Fuck Sandler for ruining Andy Samberg's career as an a-list actor before it even started

Didn't that one where he played his sister (Jack & Jill?) do shitty too?

Grownups 2 will inexplicably make a ton of money and he'll be fine

and actually looking at his IMDB, his film after that (Valet Guys) with Kevin James and Kevin Hart will probably be a hit unless Sandler screws it up

Jack & Jill opened to $25 million and made $74 million in total. (And another 75 million internationally? What the fuck world?) And I imagine it sold a lot of DVDs as well, but I don't know those numbers.

My brothers saw That's My Boy and claim it is legit funny, and that they laughed all the way through. I asked them if it was ironically good for being so bad, but they told me it was legit. Said it was Sandler's best film in years. I will probably download a cam in a few weeks to see if they are just shitting me or what.

Maybe Paul Rudd can put him in another good comedy and save him?

I took my cousin to this on Saturday and it made me feel like if I were back at my age of when I was a Sandler fan (8-10 years old) then I would think this is the funniest movie ever.

I'm 32 and just last week I listened to Sandler's 2nd album (What the Hell Happened to Me?) and laughed my ass off. Who the hell knows. I guess it doesn't bother me (if I think it's funny)

It's legit. It's pretty funny with a great soundtrack.

Worldwide Gross: $23.6 million

So Sandler did an interview with MTV last week and basically said he won't be doing any more movies like Funny People, Punch Drunk Love, Reign Over Me, etc. any more. So we're stuck with Happy Madison horseshit until he retires or dies

As someone whose favorite movie ever is Punch-Drunk Love, I'm okay with this because it won't sully his previous efforts should he do another dramatic role and suck in the process.

Apparently, Sandler is supporting the college from my hometown quite a bit lately.

This story has just as much meat to it as your typical Sandler film.

OH MY GOD

could have been worse Chelsea Handler was originally in it.

Joel McHale plays Drew Barrymore's ex husband

It's odd. I think Sandler and Barrymore have solid chemistry together, Wedding Singer is one of the best Sandler movies ever and 50 First Dates was better than it had any right to be (though still not exactly good), but this...

...replace Sandler with Joel McHale and I'll see it.

That doesn't look as bad as his stuff has been lately. I think he's a little better when he's playing just a regular ass guy. Grown Ups is obviously an exception to that statement.

I just looked at Sandler's IMDB page. I haven't seen a movie of his in the theater since Big Daddy, which was 99

I saw Eight Crazy Nights in a (since closed and demolished) second-run theater maybe 3 or 4 times because my girlfriend at the time loved it.

I am so glad to have severed all contact with what was, in hindsight, an obviously mentally deficient person.

I saw funny people...actually given the length and boredom of that movie it's possible a part of me is still watching it.

Last one I saw in theaters was The Waterboy.

In hindsight, that's a great decision.
