I seen it a few times because I've always been a big Sandler Fan back in the 90s and early 2000s.
That movie is one of my least favorites.
Too demonic/satanic for me.
Some of the jokes certainly were clever.
I just figure that I'll be there soon enough, and I don't like the thought.
Sandler really went downhill starting with that movie That's My Boy.
He really went deep with the incest and offensive humor.
I remember him from his MTV days and if you saw his first movie, I suppose it was just a matter of time before he crashed.
That was called Going Overboard and it is very difficult to watch.
Got to hand it to him though.
He really cashed in and really exploited his comedy at the right time with Netflix.
Even though the 6 movies or so that he made with them are horrible its impressive that he got 500 Million Dollars for them.
It's like the biggest Fuck You I ever seen.
I think he signed a contract to give them 4 movies and they gave him the money.
And since it was an upfront deal, he just makes the worst movies he can think of without a care in the world.
I didn't watch his recent NBA Movie since it seems too woke for me and his Uncut Gems movie was probably the best thing he has done in 15 years.
In my opinion his stand up in the last 15 to 20 years is horrible too.
I guess once you build up a strong enough following the material/art just doesn't matter anymore.
It's all just a numbers, abc+xyz and algorithm game to make hundreds of millions of dollars.
He cracked the code and seems to go against the Hollywood Model though so that's cool as he still just wears t-shirts and drinks milkshakes not giving a Fuck but that could all just be an act to keep up his brand.
Whatever though, don't mind my ranting.
Might as well rant some more while I am at it.
Joe Rogan, Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld have also proved this numbers game and cracking the code so to speak.
Joe Rogan is a bit disappointing to me because the more you listen to him the more you realize he is full of shit and just an act.
But at least he does bash the government, seems to be against covid vaccine mandates and does have interesting guests on from time to time.
Less interesting since he got in trouble for saying the word nigger.
The idea that he was selling Joe Rogan Cloth Masks and had no idea he was selling them is disturbing to me.
It is also a bit disturbing that someone who pushes health and exercise so much is an obvious alcoholic and drug addict lol.
