Pixels is probably gonna make it’s money back, which is honestly the worst thing ever
Tell everyone about your Adam Sandler racketeering theory
That’s not a theory, that is absolutely what he is fucking doing
Okay Dean, I need you tell me about your Adam Sandler racketeering theory.
Okay so Sandler movies get lots of viewers (for some reason) right so he can go to a big fucking studio like Sony Pictures (Pixels) and say “yo gimme $88 million dollars to make a movie” and since thats always worked before and his films have always made a return no matter how fucking awful they are (Mall Cop 2 made over 3x budget, Zohan made over 2x, Jack & Jill just barely missed out on 2x budget) they say “yeah go on then”
So now Sandler has $80 million to make a film with, and a bunch of friends who need paychecks to live on, right? So he just pays them for whatever half-assed performance they give (Kevin James, David Spade, Rob Schneider, etc) and they make a fucking movie. and its awful, but get this right
Product placement. In Gilmore, Happy gets sponsored by Subway to play golf, and in Jack & Jill, the plot of the movie basically revolves around advertising, specifically for Dunkin Donuts. You’ve got Gatorade in Waterboy, McDonalds and Hooters in Big Daddy, Popeyes Chicken in Little Nicky, Wendys in Mr Deeds, Bed Bath & Beyond in Click, MySpace in Funny People, KFC in Grown Ups (Kevin James is a fat man), and a bottle or can of Budweiser is in nearly every scene of That’s My Boy,
So basically, Sandler gets paid ridiculous amounts of money to make a film, gets paid even more money for product placement, then just pays his friends, and throws together an absolutely god awful film. And apparently because “Happy Gilmore/Billy Madison was funny!” (hint: they weren’t), people still go see his films twenty years later. And since he’s part producer on some of these films, he makes even more when stupid people go to see his films!
You know, it’s absolutely amazing. Under the right circumstances, a filmmaker could make more money with a flop then he could with a hit!
“I guess one of the cops thought I was the shooter.”
He saved the children at the risk of being racially profiled and mistaken for the shooter by the police all while the actual shooter was taken in ALIVE
And somehow the police managed to capture another white male mass shooter without shooting him on sight. Tamir Rice and Mike Brown never received the same chance - they were shot on sight. Funny how police don’t “fear for their lives” when they arrest a white mass murderer, but they always “feel threatened” or “see” imaginary guns in the hands of unarmed black people.
Please note that the shooter wasn’t an asylum seeker from the Southern border, he wasn’t an MS-13 gang member, and he wasn’t Antifa, and he isn’t mentally ill. But he IS a white, male, Trump supporter motivated by Trump’s rhetoric.
i read an article once that tried to “analyze” why so many people hate anne hathaway. i think the reason is because she’s a woman who sticks up for herself and stands up against sexism
feels like The Killers is on track to be one of those timeless bands mostly because you may not technically know what they’re saying, but you know what they’re saying
someone: haha british people chewna instead of tuna
british person: oh yeah well americans shoot up schools did i mention that americans shoot up schools? cause that’s an appropriate thing to joke about and not a huge problem! lol #joaks #clapback
its actually a case of pointing out how school shootings for you seem to be as common an occurence as beans on toast for us and not a case of poking fun AT school shootings specifically but moreso a rebuttal of americans having the gall to call beans on toast and other facets of british culture weird because its mighty rich coming from a person/persons who’s entire culture has normalised daily massacres hehe x
