Is that 'nope' to you not having seen PUNCH DRUNK LOVE?
or to you expending energy on someone beneath yr contempt?

You make a statement like that after admitting to having barely watched some of his films.

Why? Do you know him? Have you met him? Have you seen any of his movies?

Even on 'a site dissecting pop culture', I expect something above the banality-threshold of the self-evident/plainly obvious groaner that is 'Adam-Sandler-Movies-Are-Bad'.

agreed. This article is pointless. Who's it written for? to 'educate' the public who go to Sandler movies knowing full well that they're 'plex time-fillers/ forgettable fluff?
Or for Sandler fans who inexplicably awoke to the fact that he hasnt changed his schtick because…it makes money?

if only the author would devote all the energy divested into the above article into a topic of actual importance.
