"Tiny Trains"

Yeah exactly what I thought, a cheaper not-funny galaxy quest. I got very embarrassed for everyone involved watching it.

Anyone who believes they can make a better Star Trek parody than Galaxy Quest is a fool who deserves failure.

Reminds me that the HitB where Mike and Jay poo poo on Seth McFarlane's horrible western parody movie is pretty good, especially the opening segment.

Seth McFarlane looks like a normal guy who literally cannot act or express emotion or react in an amusing and/or realistic way. Live action is not the way to go.

Who is shittier, Seth Macfarlane or Adam Sandler?

I'm gonna say Sandler but he doesn't give a gently caress whereas Macfarlane actually seems to try, but sucks.

Sandler completely not caring could accidentally yield one joke that works in a movie.

McFarlane tries so incredibly hard so incredibly desperately that it's just pitiful so even if by some miracle he wrote a joke it wouldn't make anyone laugh because they're too busy cringing.

Come on, McFarlane has written literally hundreds of good jokes.




He just used them all during the first season of Family Guy.

Sandler, as Macfarlane hasn't got many famous buddies to get roles for.
Macfarlane will be Sandler 2.0 in a decade or two.

What happened to adam sandler? i know some people think he was never funny, but i thought he was back in the 90s. Granted I was just a kid with no taste. Maybe his style of humor hasnt aged well or was never good to begin with but it at least seemed like he was trying back then. Like I can imagine him writing and working on Billy Madison with the intent that it will be a funny movie that people will laugh at and enjoy.

He also smokes a lot of weed so perhaps his baseline for funny is off kilter (He did own on Extras though)

He's an adorable country bumpkin english redneck who faked a fancy accent and got into acting but he mostly just wants to get high and hang out in hardware stores. I do not fault him on his terrible taste and lechery and most of nemesis was Spiner's fault.

I think Funny People broke him.
Here he tried to do a serious film, passing the torch from the old comedian to new ones in the form of Seth Rogan.
And it barely made its money back.

So he went gently caress it, people like poo poo so lets give it to them!

He did Punch Drunk Love and it owned, and also didn't really change anything.

Adam Sandler is capable of giving a good performance with the right material, but critical acceptance doesn't really seem to be what he craves. He just likes to collect his $70 MM and chill with his bros on a beach or Africa or whatever. And you know what, good for him.

The trick is to do that three times.

Then they'll keep giving you the money over and over again to make things like Horse Fart: The Movie! or Fat Guy on a Bicycle or whatever other 2 minute Mad TV level abysmal sketch you can think of that gets stretched out to 90 minutes thanks to unrelenting Subway and Dunkin Donuts ads.

gently caress, I'm going to go watch the Jack & Jill HitB again.
