The Ridiculous 6

I got halfway through the film and decided to stop watching. I'm in the minority when I say that I typically enjoy Sandler movies, but this one just didn't do it for me. The plot was a bit cliche and although I liked the group of actors they used, I didn't find it as enjoyable as I would've liked. Maybe if I finish it that opinion can change, but it's hard to watch an entire movie when it's not enjoyable to watch.

Then try making a game out of it. Find as many things that are wrong with the movie as you can. I did that with Super Mario Bros. and I loved it.

I'll take it one step further and make it into a drinking game. Every bad moment in a movie, you take a shot.

I made a drinking game out of Fellowship of the Ring where you take a drink or do a bong rip whenever they say "ring." I'm pretty sure I passed out two hours in.

Watch the RedLetterMedia Ridiculous 6 Half in the Bag on YouTube, 1000x funnier than any movie Adam Sandler has ever done.

I wouldn't recommend watching Spider-Man 3, you WILL end up in the hospital.

:shycouch:

I actually really enjoy most Sandler movies. Watched "Just go with It" the other night for maybe the 4th time.

Turn your brain off entertainment.

I actually remember rather liking Click. Didn't make me laugh, but it had heart.

Click is one of my favorites. It's a pretty good story and the acting is pretty good too. Definitely one of Sandlers best.

I wouldn't put him in a truly dramatic role, but the guy can at least bring a character to life, even if that character is just some form of Adam Sandler. With the right role he could be a poor man's Jack Black (I'm thinking Bernie and not Nacho Libre). He definitely worked as an immature man-child in Click, though.

On the commentary track to Serenity, I remember Joss Whedon saying something to the effect that comedians can make for good dramatic actors, since comedic timing is even harder to nail down than dramatic timing. Granted, Joss Whedon is a glorified B-movie director, so grain of salt and all that, but he's not entirely wrong.

Well, Koyaanisqatsi was bordering on brilliant. I loved the hidden, debatable imagery.

If I have to watch a Sandler film, I'm going with Punch-Drunk Love. Didn't love it as much as most but I mean you can't go wrong with a PTA film.

Sandler was actually good in a dramatic role once: Punch Drunk Love.

Yeah Sandler can handle dramatic roles well. There was a 9/11 related film that I recall him pretty damn good in.

Edit: It was Reign Over Me.

I think I've only ever seen about two minutes of that movie, but I always assumed it was like the first "ADAM SANDLER" Adam Sandler movie ever, and was just the prototype for all of his subsequent movies, while being immune from many of the more cringe-worthy Sandler tropes. But it was a different animal altogether?

Three words: Paul Thomas Anderson

AKA God

The Cobbler is another fantastic Sandler film if people are interested. His role in that was dramatic and very well done.

Ki's a terrible liar

On the other hand, you wear a scarf in Texas.

I've learned never to trust the critics over people on comedies. The only time I trust critics over people in general is with Spy Kids. 93%.

Punch Drunk Love is cool, mainly because of Emily Watson and Philip Seymour Hoffman's scenes.

But Love Reign O Me is a wicked gut punch. The story of a man who's lost his mind and is gradually coxed back to the real world because of the love and devotion of a friend.

This movie slays me.

It's a completely different animal. It's a P.T. Anderson movie with Adam Sandler in it rather than an Adam Sandler vehicle.

Chaplin. Pretty good. Good cast, greag acting, really good jobs on Downey Jr.'s and Kline's roles. But it clumped too much in 2 hours and 20 minutes. Should've been 3 hours. 74.

Just watched Insomnia again. Killer film. Love Williams in this kind of role. Pacino was great as well.

The Prince of Egypt. Seriously underrayed film. Beautiful score, amazing scenery, great casting.

I used to have it on VHS as a kid, but can barely recall much more than the animation style, I think a re-visit is due.

Yeah, it's not really underrated. It's just boring.

Nooo...

Watching Heima right now.

Like, I don't even remember if it had songs, so if it did, then they're so unmemorable that I'm not sure they even exist.

For you, maybe. For those who trust RT, it didn't get nearly 80% for nothing.

Why are you so obsessed with IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes? Who cares what they say, cause everyone with taste knows it sucks.

He wants to be a movie critic iirc so he has to agree with the rest of them or something.

I was always under the impression that critics hated Prince of Egypt.

Um, I've made it clear that there are many things I don't agree with on RT. And this is like, what the third time I've ever mentioned RT? And when have I ever stated anything about Imdb? Once, maybe?

The only reason I brought up RT in the first place was to say that one can't really say it's "unmemorable" if it gets enough acclaim for people to remember it in a good way, as if he was speaking for everyone else. Even if he wasn't, that's the way it came across to me.

You do it all the time, dude. When you're in an argument about a movie you always pull the "Well IMDB says it's good, so there" card.

Keep deluding yourself. I mention imdn if I'm impressed how far it got. I bring up internet movie data bases to back up an argument like "It's a comedy because it has a lot of jokes. Besides, it's not unheard of to call it a comedy. Heck, other websites call it a comedy as well."

No, you've definitely brought it up in the past to back up your arguments.

You mean my arguments and opinions that were already formed before I looked up the RT or Imdb or RYM ratings? And how I merely show other websites that agree with my opinion, not me agreeing with them? It's not uncommon to use sources on the internet. :P

Trusting a critics opinion on a movie is like not listening to an album because someone who hates the band says it sucks.
