Future Adam Sandler Movies Will Go Direct to Netflix

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

The only place future Adam Sandler movies should go directly to is the incinerator...

SO MUCH THIS

But... at the very least he won't be beating the box office numbers of the Pacific Rims of the future. At least for a little while.

Netflix rhymes with 'wet chicks.'

Why did I laugh harder than I needed to after reading this particular part?

OT: Things I keep forgetting is a thing:
Direct-To-Netflix moviesThings I keep remembering is a thing:
Direct-to-Netfix movies

Oh... and you can keep doing whatever, Mr. Sandler... Keep making your audience happy and whatnot with your future Netflix flicks...

*knows that FPLOON would probably end up watching them out of morbid curiosity one day*

So the con-artist manages to swindle another group for money?
Oh wait that was a bit slanderous...I mean thieving con-artist. Anyone who has any offense to this statement, look up some info on Jack and Jill. Or just look up Red Letter Medias coverage of the 'movie'

And how would he be a "con-artist"...exactly? I mean, I hate Sandlers movies, they're the absolute scrapings of several miles /underneath/ the barrel, but he's hardly a swindler.

I think you place too much credit on Sandler for his success. And not y'know the people with standards low enough to go see and enjoy his movies. Implying the trailers for Sandler movies are some sort of sneaky con is an insult to sneaky cons. Mainly because they're not.

I kind of just feel sorry that netflix alone has to bear the burden of hosting whatever shit he squeezes out.

I guess it makes Netflix the movie version of Tal Rasha from Diablo, heroicly wrestling with Adam Sandler for all eternity, as to not unleash the evil within upon the rest of the world.

Look up Red Letter Media's review of Jack and Jill, they can be more specific than I can. They were using Titanics cost to compare to it ,so there's something iffy going on there.

What, you can't give me the cliff notes? I'm not watching a 40 minute overanalysis just because you wont back up your point. If you truly believe that he's a con-artist then you'll be able to give me at least /one/ reason why, wont you?

From what I could find:

He over inflates his budget, so what? That doesn't effect you in the slightest, and if you're angry because you went to see it and it was shite, then I have no sympathy. Sandlers been around long enough for you to know he makes terrible movies, even if you don't, the trailers on their own are bad enough to cause physical pain. The only people to blame for his continued success are the people who keep throwing money at him, not Sandler himself.

I looked it up, but apart from being an awful film, couldn't find any info. In what way is Sandler a thief, and not just a not-funny-guy?

I hope every one of these movies are serious dramas just to mess with people. Basically, more Spanglish and less Click, please. I actually liked that show.

 

[Punkster]

So much for Netflix not having commercials...

Oh great so now we get to watch ads as the movie plays, meanwhile paying for a subscription. That news is enough to make anybody cancel! Sure you do not need to watch his movies, but our money is helping make these terrible product placement cash in "Movies," that this ar$e continues to make!

Who thought this was a good idea? Oh right... Marketing.

Well I hope you keep an eye on those inflated budgets he is well known for.

This is like direct-to-dvd releases. Sandler has joined other such alumni as Carrot Top and Pauly Shore.

It's worse. He's sunk lower than Carrot Top and Paulie Shore. This is companies saying "you're not even worth the plastic for a DVD release."

$79,000,000 budget? That's ...nearly half the budget that went into Titanic. The movie that has legendary CGI for the time, a huge accurate model of the ship and all the internals.
Vs a movie where he's in drag, the film is weighted down with product placement, even straight up having a commercial in it apparently.

So what he inflates the budget to incredible levels so him and his friends can have even more money at the expense of trying to rip people off? It's not like other movies where they go overbudget to achieve something that was unexpectedly more pricy. This is a crappy comedy movie where they go no where, do nothing and should have a pretty low budget ceiling.
Regardless of his history of movie quality, he's swindling studios and trying to swindle people- allegedly. Not saying Red Letter Media has all the facts but, that's a hefty budget for a movie that doesn't need it in any way. But I don't really like people with lots of money trying to con people with far less money out of their cash because they know that they can.
So Sandler has no responsibility for his actions? It's just the people alone that he's allowed to knowingly make a crap movie with a insane budget and try to rip people off? No, the fault is shared.

I'm not angry, I didn't see it. I recalled liking his films as a kid and thought he was alright. Then this came up in a playlist and I just happen to not like douchebags trying to swindle, the escapist provided a topic where, for some reason, someone is allowing him to have more money.

I'm not going to say you are lying, or RLM are lying, or mistaken. However, did they take into account that Titanic's budget was in 1997 dollars, while Jack and Jill's was in 2011 dollars? Because if not, when you adjust for inflation, Titanic's budget in 2011 dollars was around $605 million, versus Jack and Jill's $79 million.
