Adam Sandler is a hack fraud con man

[Brocklock]

I'm shocked it took this long for Josh Gad to pair up with Sandler.

 

[KOAB]

Holy shit I can't wait to see President Kevin James... hopefully he can convince his good buddy Joe Rogan to play in this as his Vice President.

 

[One Epic Winter (OEW)]

Is that Amy Ryan?

 

[Brocklock]

Michelle Monaghan

 

[Mattdotcom]

I don't understand how aliens thinking outdated arcade games represent our military combat strategies would cause President King of Queens to actually make them our military combat strategies

I'm throwing my hat in the ring in saying that's my boy was a funny movie. I caught some scenes on TV and one of them was the saluting scene and the wassap scene. Needless to say I watched a full version when I could. Bonus points for riding the five point oh with the rag top down.

And I am also seconding finding his voice in it inherently funny. I am a sandler fan for the most part, but even liking this movie surprised me.

 

[strummer]

That's My Boy is fucking hilarious

So, Adam Sandler wanted to make a western comedy called "The Ridiculous Six" and Warner Bros. said no. It's mostly because "Blended" tanked, and well, "A Million Ways to Die in the West" killed any chances for another comedic western, though his new Netflix deal might be playing a part in it as well.

That being said, it looks like "Grown Ups 3" is a go.

This looks like a parody.

 

[Brooklyn Zoo]

Some dude on Grantland wrote about it a few months ago and said it started off ok and then it turned out to be one of the worst movies he's ever seen.

 

[strummer]

Norm MacDonald was going to be one of the "Ridiculous Six". Almost would have been worth it to make that film to see Norm get work.

The Cobbler looks like something Corey Haim and Corey Feldman would have made in 1989

 

[HSJ]

Does Adam Sandler bang his mother in that movie?

Norm has been in seemingly most of Sandler's comedy movies, even the really shitty ones like "Grown Ups". He's not that picky when it comes to movie roles (not that he has much of a choice-dude apparently has a gambling addiction)

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

I blame Dr. Chevy Chase for that.

This wasn't just a cameo role though.

Norm was supposed to have a bigger role in Grown Ups but most of his stuff was cut

This looks like a parody.

Jesus. This looks worse than any of his comedies. I would gladly watch Grown Ups 2 or Blended over this horseshit.

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

Fuck. That concept seems like it would be an interesting one to watch unfold, too.

 

[Cartman]

I liked Blended...

 

[Big Beard Booty Daddy]

Fuck. That concept seems like it would be an interesting one to watch unfold, too.

That's what I was thinking. It didn't look like a bad idea at all and could be really interesting in the right hands.

 

[One Epic Winter (OEW)]

That movie looks corny but I really like that director's other films (The Station Agent, The Visitor, Win, Win).

Because it's from Sandler's production company and ugh fuck you Adam Sandler.

So there were some big hacks of Sony, and it turns out people there don't like Adam Sandler movies either.

Be more focussed and ruthless in directing our resources to businesses that will sustain the long term health of SPE - networks, broadcast TV shows, new movie franchises, digital distibution By the same token, stop or reduce support for areas that have no more value (Sandler movies, DVD)

There is a general "blah-ness" to the films we produce. Althought we manage to produce an innovative film once in awhile, Social Network, Moneyball, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, we continue to be saddled with the mundane, formulaic Adam Sandler films. Let's raise the bar a little on the films we produce, and inspire employees that they are working on the next Social Network. That said, there's a strange dichotomy of encouraging us to be fiscally responsible, but then upper management allows certain talent and filmmakers to bleed us dry with their outlandish requests for private jets, wardrobe and grooming stylists - and are surprised when they are asked to work more than 5 hours to promote their film.

In TV and Theatrical, I hope management looks closely at the money spent on development and term deals to ensure efficiency. There are a lot of term deal personnel as well as creative personnel, yet we only release a dozen or so Columbia Pictures a year, for example. And will we still be paying for Adam Sandler? Why?

It is commenable that SPE understands/supports the importance of risk-taking, particularly in how the we pick films to greenlight. However, the studio needs to change deal structure that has been in place with Happy Madison, as this arrangement has disproportionately benefitted Adam Sandler and his team, relative to SPE.

Is that Billy Mitchell in the Blinky car? Edit: No, Peter Dinklage. Well, he never stood up in the trailer.

Also there is no way I don't eventually watch this.

 

[CBright7831]

I'm strangely looking forward to an Adam Sandler movie. I never thought I'd say that again.

Since Donkey Kong is in this movie, does this mean that Mari...err I mean Jumpman might appear too?

 

[ViciousFish]

He's gone from making shitty movies to making shitty rip offs of Futurama episodes.

 

[Sex Machine Gun]

Boo.

 

[Skywarp!]

Or at least riding the coattails of Wreck-It Ralph.

 

[CBright7831]

It's actually inspired by a short film by the same name:

[Smues]

So was Whiplash, so clearly this movie is going to be great.

That trailer is weird too. The dialog and acting screams comedy but the music is all SERIOUS SERIOUS DUN DUN DUN SERIOUS SERIOUS DUN DUN DUN.
