So it's OK unless it's not.

Ladies and gentlemen, Adam Sandler.

Howard, in the fairly thankless leading role of an uptight workaholic,

Fair enough. Although I bet if a black director had pitched such a long-gestating idea, studio execs would've said "nah, we're not trying to reach the 'Urban Market.' Pass"

mmmm. Sprinkles.

Why isn't a black director heading this project?

"Meanwhile, villainous Gallian (Ray Liotta) sends his evil army to overthrow the
rightful king (Burt Reynolds) and steal the throne."

He made THREE of those?!

that thing had a theatrical release?! It had some genuine talent in it too (that was all wasted) but still. How the fuck does he get the people he gets??

There weren't many suffragettes back then, but it not every woman was in constant fear of rape every time they stepped outside. Rape didn't

In the books I think GRRM made her sexually attracted to him "after all" which makes me wonder how many actual human females he interacts with in his life.

I think the dog stripping sketch was just a silly non-sequitur rather than deep comedy with metaphor behind it. The visuals are just ridiculous. I loved the poodle "groping" her, and the German shepherd yawning. Clearly the dogs are just sitting there disinterested and it's treated with such seriousness by the
