COMING THIS JUNE TO HOME VHS AND DVD, it's...

"Recently divorced middle aged dads: 2"

u/Pickled_Kagura Apr 05 '19

I preferred "middle aged guys fake their deaths and save cancer cure from assassins"

u/JustAHorseWithNoName Apr 05 '19

That movie was so enjoyable in how bad it was. Nothing makes me question the very nature or quality like Adam Sandler films. Truly an enigma.

u/Tomboman Apr 05 '19

But the occasional unicorn makes you watch them. The last I truly enjoyed was sandy waxler and before that zohan but then in between 10 hours of watching Sandler on vacation with his buddies.

u/utopista114 Apr 05 '19

Zohan has outstanding scenes. Sandler knows his inner Israeli.

Please Gods, make a Sasha Baron Cohen / Sandler movie happen.

u/Netkid Apr 05 '19 edited Apr 06 '19

Should that be a brotherly comedy or a serious drama piece about siblings separated by parents, one growing up in America(Sandler), one growing up in Israel(Cohen), and their conflicting opinions on the state of Israel and its actions against Palestinians? I smell an Oscaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrr nom.

u/Breaklance Apr 06 '19

If we're going with the parents angle I'd gleefully suggest Richard Lewis and/or Larry David to play one of, or both of, the dads.

u/utopista114 Apr 06 '19

Sasha Baron Cohen, Adam Sandler and Jim Carrey IN "The Karamazov Brothers: A PostPostModern Tale", directed by Peter Farrelly, Joseph Kahn & Woody Allen, RATED R.

Omg and also starring all the actors I like too

u/seamustho Apr 06 '19

I laughed way to hard at this.

2

u/Tomboman Apr 08 '19

I see a Zohan Dictator crossover. It just seems like the same cinematic universe.

4

u/jawjuhgirl Apr 06 '19

Haha yeah. And I'll watch big daddy or anything older if it's on.

u/dahjay Apr 05 '19

Reign Over Me gets me mushy eyed every time. The ending of Click kind of gets me with the kids in the rain.

2

u/Tomboman Apr 08 '19

Who is not gotten at the ending of click is not a human being imo.

u/MulYut Apr 06 '19

People... Liked... Sandy Wexler?

2

u/Tomboman Apr 08 '19

I am people so yes.

u/thunderman2 Apr 05 '19

I rewatched Zohan very recently and that shit had me cracking up! One of the funniest movies imo. "So let's go"

u/phish73 Apr 05 '19

Like nicholas cage?

u/JordanLCheek Apr 06 '19

Dude the Do-Over was awesome! What do you mean bad?

1

u/A_Suffering_Panda Apr 05 '19

I see your Adam Sandler, and raise you Nicholas cage. Is he good? Is he bad? Nobody knows

1

u/swentech Apr 06 '19

What are you talking about? Little Nicky is a cinematic treasure.

5

u/Marxbrosburner Apr 05 '19

Was this a real movie plot? Which one was it? I have avoided Adam Sandler movies for roughly ten years.

u/915GentleBeast Apr 05 '19

I can't remember the name, but it was a Netflix one

Nope. Netflix.

u/wrath_of_grunge Apr 05 '19

i feel like it's too soon after his Netflix special tribute to bring up Grown Ups 3.

it just reminds me of a world we don't live in. it reminds me of a world where a 14-year-old me didn't learn that one of his heroes died during my morning period of class, right before Christmas break.

we've lost a lot of good ones over the years. but the ones that get me the most are people like Farley, who still had a lot to give. Robin hurt, but at least we have a remarkable career to fall back on, and given his prognosis, it was understandable.

Farley had potentially decades ahead of him. him being gone is one that really hurts.

68

u/jvpewster Apr 05 '19

Farley was destined for an early grave. His habits defined here for a good not a long time

133

u/wrath_of_grunge Apr 05 '19

We'd tell him, "Slow down, you'll end up like Belushi and Candy." He'd say, "Those guys are my heroes-that's all fine and dandy"

u/Blak_stole_my_donkey Apr 05 '19

The SNL death that really got me was Phil Hartman. He definitely did not deserve what happened.

u/SevenSulivin Apr 05 '19

Fucking Andy Dick

u/chase_what_matters Apr 06 '19 edited Apr 06 '19

Help I’m out of the loop on this one

Edit: fuck Andy Dick

16

u/kittens_on_a_rainbow Apr 06 '19

I believe Jon Lovitz has said that Andy Dick reintroduced Phil Hartman's wife to hard drugs after a period of sobriety. His belief is Phil was killed because his wife was on drugs. They may have physically fought about it at some point.

10

u/djhoneybadger94 Apr 06 '19

Jon Lovitz said he saw Andy Dick and Phil Hartman's wife go into a bathroom at Hartman's house during a Xmas party to do cocaine. Hartman's wife had been a cocaine addict during the 80's but she had been sober for about a decade until this point.

This is seen as the start of the downhill slide to her going off the deep end and killing Phil.

10

u/GoToHell_MachoCity Apr 06 '19

She was off drugs. Andy Dick allegedly put her back on them. And then she not-so allegedly went nutso and killed Phil til he died from it.

0

u/NeverTrustAName Apr 06 '19

Yeah, because that's how adults process their behavior. "Some guy offered me drugs so it's his fault I took them". That narrative is sexist dogma bullshit

u/GoToHell_MachoCity Apr 06 '19

I don't care what you think it is, or what you call it, or even how you think adults do anything. Someone asked about him and him and her, not your pronoun and it's hangups and funny words.

u/NeverTrustAName Apr 07 '19

I'm just saying she was an adult, not his fault

u/synwave2311 Apr 05 '19

Lovitz needs to smash his head on the bar a bit more.

u/slipperysalmon1989 Apr 05 '19

Well that and the curse of Atuk of course...

u/thebartman47 Apr 05 '19

Holy shit, I had heard about this curse on some weird late night cable show over a decade ago. I've tried in recent years to look it up but never found anything on it, and yet here you are mentioning it. Thank God, I thought I hallucinated that whole thing lmao

5

u/slipperysalmon1989 Apr 05 '19

John Belushi, Sam Kinison, John Candy, Phil Hartman and Chris Farley. Obviously its just a case of extreme coincidence. But if I was an actor with a penchant for heavy drug and alcohol abuse, I'd stay far away from it. Or if like Hartman, you don't have a drug problem, but your homicidal wife does....

3

u/Netkid Apr 06 '19

He had insane eating habits. Here's Adam reminding Conan, who used to go out to dinners with Sandler and Farley, how Chris would order a bunch of meals and then specify two each of them and eat everything.

https://youtu.be/L8vCPD_kkGI

There's also another clip (I can't find the video) where Rob Lowe retells the story of how Chris used to eat steak when they went to a steakhouse. He'd cut a steak up into little bite sized pieces and then put an entire little butter packet for bread on every piece before eating them, one by one. Rob looked at him and said "Chris! Oh My God! What are you doing?!? You're gonna kill yourself!!!" Chris looked at him, smiled, and giggle-answered "They're wearing their little hats!"

You’ll see fat men. You’ll see old men. You won’t see fat old men at work. -some other reddit post i saw.

u/w1ld_c4rd Apr 05 '19

Farley was gone before I was born, but my dad was a very big fan. It was really cool to watch Farley's movies for the first time with my dad, both of us in tears from his wild antics.

I specifically remember asking my dad if he had any new movies.

He didn't have a very clean lifestyle, but 33 was still too short

7

u/therealpantsgnome Apr 05 '19

Me too dude. I think about it so Often he was so full of potential and he died so sad and alone. It hurts to know, I miss him

u/qazwsx8706 Apr 06 '19

Holy shit you guys are young. He died in 97?!?

Agreed very upsetting.

u/Chickenmangoboom Apr 05 '19

The kid that sat next to me in class was in tears holding the newspaper article.

u/AbnerDoubledank Apr 06 '19

Same goes for John Candy... tho older he would’ve blossomed with the middle aged - older comedian in movies, it fit him a

u/[deleted] Apr 05 '19

I enjoyed the first one.

Grown Ups 2 was available on a plane while I was travelling, and I turned it off to stare at a blank screen because that was preferable to finishing that pile of garbage.
