I quit you

There’s an X-Files episode where Mulder and Scully end up investigating some incident which leads them to the apartment of a doll collector. Holding one of the freakishly cherubic figurines, Mulder wonders aloud how someone comes to end up collecting dolls of all things. Well, that’s how I feel about the fact that I have seen every single Adam Sandler movie ever to hit the big screen. How did I come to this place? I don’t know. Yes, it probably has something to do with laughing my head off for years whenever I’d think of him tackling the penguin in Billy Madison or screaming at the golf ball in Happy Gilmore. But, every one? Still? Even that crap buddy convict film with Martin Laurence. However, that ends now. NOW! Now I am the woman who never sees Adam Sandler movies. And this time, I know how I got here. Reign Over Me. A terribly written, performed so-called dramedy about a dentist who goes crazy after losing his family on 9/11. I thought Punch Drunk Love was okay, but Sandler is not an…umm…what’s the word I’m looking for…actor. Click also sucked, but the straw that broke Dawn’s obsession was I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry. Here is Sandler doing what he supposedly does best and I didn’t laugh once when he was onscreen. The movie was not just prototypical twelve year old movie homophobic “dont drop the soap” jokes and limp wristed stereotypes, it was unfunny. Any moments it had were all thanks to the King of Queens guy. Adam Sandler just doesn’t have it anymore. So goodbye, Big Daddy. We’ll always have our 50 first dates.

    But he has a movie coming out next summer called “You Don’t Mess with the Zohan.” Permit me to quote the plot synopis from IMDB: A Mossad agent fakes his death so he can re-emerge in New York City as a hair stylist.

    Tell me that’s not going to be awesome.

    Every Adam Sandler movie… really? Even Little Nicky?

    Luckily, because of your musical tastes, I already had no respect for you.

    I’ve seen them all too. And I don’t care for these constant reminders that my taste is as lowbrow and questionable as yours. (and I saw that episode of X-Files too - the doll guy was someone, no? Wait - Peter Boyle, right?!)

    Yup, even Little Nicky…which I actually liked.

  7. Dawn Summers Says:

    And yes! That was the Peter Boyle episode (Mulder will die of autoerotic asphyxiation!), though that wasn’t his apartment…I think they brought him in to figure out what killed the doll lady.

  8. Ari Says:

    Yeah and the guy that looks like, but somehow isn’t, Pugsly was in it too - there was pizza… I remember this.

  9. fisch Says:

    Even I didn’t see Chuck and Larry. Your taste does suck.

  10. Dawn Summers Says:

    So, exactly how much did you cry during 50 first dates?

    Hahahahaha.

    Billy Madison really is one of the funniest movies of all time.
