Wedding Singer is a little less loud and brash, but at the heart, it’s still the Sandler schtick.

Robert, Scanners isn’t due until November. We still have LOTS of time to hear more about that.

NBAKid, you should watch Reign Over Me, with Don Cheedle and Adam Sandler. It’s not really a comedy like Sandler’s other flicks. I normally hate Sandler too, but this movie really showed that he really can be a serious actor when he wants to be.

I’ve been told by Sandler fans that The Wedding Singer is actually different than his other comedies and that’s why I gave it a little bit of leniency. Apparently they’re wrong?

I hate Sandler.

Scanners is meant to come out this year, I hope we hear something from it soon.

I agree about Meet Dave, I even refuse to watch the trailer.

Indy has the lord on his side too to be fair. He could have melted him along with all those Nazi’s but he chose to let him do three more movies.

Caspain has Jesus on his side. Neer underestimate that guy. A dude that can resurrect after three days can surely open a movie #1.

Hancock will open huge, but will drop off hard if the movie sucks as hard as test screening reviews are saying it does.

It seems like a fair bet to say ‘Meet Dave’ (which i’d forgotten about till Kristina reminded me) will be the big flop but i’ve learned never to under estimate the American audience and their penchant for seeing crap.

I’m putting my money on ‘Hancock’ being the big belly flop of the summer. I think it will have a big opening weekend but will drop off after that very quickly. I just don’t know about ‘Speed Racer’ anymore. Also, and correct me if i’m wrong but it seems like ‘Prince Caspian’, nice though it looks, isn’t being promoted hard enough and that might underperform as well.

Don’t worry about not answering all the questions John. That’s why you have a live show. Thanks for this though; missed it.

@NBAkid

I’m not the biggest Sandler fan, either. If you hate the guy that much, watching The Wedding Singer isn’t going to help. It’s his most tolerable comedy, but he’s doing the same shit in that movie that he does in all his other ones.
