Adam Sandler

Do you remember when Adam Sandler couldn't make a bad movie?  He had such a good run of movies for a solid decade with films like Billy Madison, Airheads, Happy Gilmore, The Waterboy, and Big Daddy.  But recently?  Lots and lots of garbage.  I stumbled across this the other day:


That's Sandler's Rotten Tomatoes scores for his most recent movies.  Other than an animated kid's flick, his best score was 20%, and somehow that was That's My Boy, which isn't saying much.  What in the hell happened to him?  Because I honestly don't know.

However, there is good news.  His next movie actually looks promising.  It's called Pixels and stars Sandler along with Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister), Michelle Monagham (Tom Cruise's wife from the Mission: Impossible movies), and Josh Gad (the voice of the snowman from Frozen).  Here is its plot:

     "Video game experts are recruited by the military to fight 1980s-era video game characters who've attacked New York."

I'm in.  But judging by Sandler's recent track record, even this will somehow suck.

"Tyrion Lannister with a mullet?  Yes, please."
