So now if Sandler does anything that isn't god awful with his buddies, he gets Oscar buzz. Good strategy I guess

I have yet to see Sandler give a bad performance in a dramatic movie.

I would really laugh my arse off Sandler won an Oscar. That would honestly be so awesome.

Yeah, making such crap for so long, when he does something that isn't totally worthless, it looks like he's a genius. Good strategy indeed.

Him winning would officially end the Oscars as prestigious, not that this has not already happened.

The point of the Oscars should be to award the best performance not award the best actor. They used to give these lifetime achievement award Oscars for undeserving performances all the time and it fricking sucked.

Glad to see Little Nicky getting love. That's my favorite Sandler movie.

If he gave a worthy performance then it wouldn't do shite to the oscars prestige.

I wouldn't go that far. Its certainly not near the level of Happy Gilmore or Billy Madison, but its probably on the level of Big Daddy. Its no where near as bad as the shite he's put out in the last 10 years.

On another note, I've heard that Sandler is a really great guy. Joe Rogan talked about it in a recent podcast that he is one of the normal guys in Hollywood.

Sandler is capable.

His big problem is generally him taking shitty projects in order to work with his friends and/or film at desirable destinations.




do you blame him though? If i could make shite tons of money and do nothing but hang out and goof around with my buddies and keep them paid too, I would do it in a second.

I sat down and watched Sandy Wexler last night and while it was rough going at times, the story wasn't awful and had some of the funniest damn credit scenes I have ever seen/heard. Mike Judge was doing prank calls as Beavis and Butthead to Sandler's Sandy Wexler character.

That and it being an hour and a half commercial for popeyes. I much prefer Zohan. But still why little Nicky and Zohan for picking his bad movies when he has so many to choose from

Grown ups
Grown ups 2
Blended
That's my boy
The Cobbler
Pixels
all his Netflix movies (and I've unfortunately watched them all)
