Yes, but that "industry" of which you speak produces filth. A an attractive female working underneath the hood of a car is art. ihatedumbpeople is a man who appreciates subtlety and nuance.

one time i seen a movie of this broad getting nailed by a mechanic underneath the hood of a car. he subtly nuanced the sh*t out of her.

This. "Just Go With It" was an absolute war crime, but while watching it I couldn't help but admire the scam Sandler has going. It would be worth it even if he didn't get paid.

So Adam Sandler is a money whore?

Is he? You know that, do you? Interesting. It must be that summer you worked as a telephone receptionist for the Psychic Friends Network, because that is actually true. But do you know how much older he is than me? Is it a significant difference for the purposes of this discussion? Do you know that, Subby? Yeah, I didn't think so.

Your headline compels me to address the rest of what you said because it is equally stupid.

Adam Sandler does whatever movie he thinks will be fun for him to do. He can't be doing it for the money, as he already has more than a person could ever need. Tell me, what exactly is it that leads you to believe that he only took the bad movies for the money? What indicators do you have that convinced you that he didn't take Grown Ups just because it looked like fun to him to do? See, you don't know his motivations any more than you know how old I am.

Back to the issue at hand however, your original assumption that most everyone here has denigrated themselves by doing jobs which they didn't believe in just for money, the error on your part was to assume that just because you have done something, and just because the people around you may have done the same or similar things, that this means everyone else must be doing it as well. It is called a false generalization, and is one of the most common logical fallacies. The fact is, Chumley, you and all those people you see whoring themselves out for money just so that you can have that 4G iPhone and that $5000 home theater system (or whatever), are the life's blood of corporate greed, and there are many, many people out there in this world who refuse to be used as a sucker like that.

So if it is what makes you happy, slurp away for whatever money you think you want, for all that stuff you think you need. But don't think you are not a whore while you do it, and don't try to justify it by telling yourself that everyone is doing it because that is simply not the truth. Oh, and if you continue spewing out crap that you obviously don't know anything about, I will continue to tell you to STFU.

For the record, Sandler is less than 10 years older than I am, and I did spend over $25K on my home theater. But I never have done anything that I didn't believe in just for the money, and I know plenty of others (including people who work in the entertainment industry in Hollywood) who have not either.

/Seriously, WTF?

Good ole copypasta, with a few modifications, of course.

InmanRoshi: dehehn: Watch Part 2 and you'll see why it's an interesting critical take on Adam Sandler. They present a pretty compelling case that his latest movies have essentially been scams to get gobs of studio money to pay all his friends huge paychecks to make the laziest cheapest movies they can while on their expensive vacations.

Except I really don't think this is anything insightful or some new fresh take. Ever since Happy Gilmore made more money than God the studios and Sandler have always had a very symbiotic relationship. They give Sander a blank check and free reign to cast/hire whoever he wants, and he makes them truckloads of money. The very first movie Happy Madison Studios greenlighted was Deuce Bigalow in 1999, twelve years ago. They greenlighted Joe Dirt a couple of years later. Do you think any other studios were looking at Rob Schneider and David Spade as leading men material at the time?

Happy Madison gave us Grandma's Boy, which is one of my all-time favorite stoner comedies. Besides that it's been hit-n-miss, mostly on the miss side.
