Adam Sandler

I just watched Punch Drunk Love.

Now with today's Adam Sandler movies including Just Go with It or the Zohan... I have learned to ignore Adam's comical past and have started to hate him. His classics like Billy Maddison, the Wedding Singer and Happy Gilmore are some of the best comedies ever made.
"I didn't mean that, I think They're excellent finger paintings..."
You can't beat that right there. The last good funny movie Adam made was Big Daddy; which was on it's way out, and much more mature than usual.

From here, his bigger movies started on a more mature comedy line. Some of these movies include 50 First Dates, Chuck & Larry, and the Zohan. I admit I've never seen Zohan- don't mess with him... whatever the hell It's called, I don't even care. The fact is, Happy isn't funny anymore.

Now, the sub-group to his movies are his rare and under noted dramas. Spanglish sucked, but Reign Over Me was incredible and his acting overshadowed even Don Cheadle. As I mentioned, I just watched Punch Drunk Love and- well, not an overly great movie, Adam was a great actor once again.

Now let me make this clear: Adam was not a good actor in Billy Maddison or Happy Gilmore. He merely created hilarious movies that will be classics forever. Now his modern-day comedies suck; so I'm only pointing out that it's not Adam Sandler that sucks, only his comedies. My point is that Adam has the capacity to be just as amazing as his days with his actual funny bone. All he has to do is embrace his perfectly captured awkward state that he portrays so perfectly in Punch Drunk Love and Reign Over Me.

It's 2 in the morning and I'm going to bed but I just wanted my three followers to know what I think about Adam Sandler's current frittering away.

Foreign Behavior -Journal 15

13/10
Spent the night at Jago's heavy metal bar, El Tributo, with Jago and his friends. There we talked to a drunk guy about movies and Riddley Scott and aliens. I asked him his name and if he knew how to spell it. To prove that he was right, he pulled out his drivers liscens, then his credit cards, then some other important looking stuff and began passing them all around the circle for everyone to see. Spanish peoplle are retarded when they drink.

Etch-a-SketchPRO UPDATE

My etch-a-sketch is one year old and it's recieved quite a bit of use. However, after only one year of use, it's already broken. The pulley system is shot and the once occasional tangles or jolts in the stylus have become unbearable to the point you can't even draw a square. You can't even draw a straight line- the lines go jumping all over the screen.

Thats a shame, but not to worry... I just wrote a letter. Two letters actually, one to customer service and the other to the head offices of OHIO ART: the makers of Etch-a-Sketch.

General life lesson: write a letter if you've got something to say. If it's positive, companys appreciate the time and effort it takes to wrtite an old-school letter; thats to say nothing of the appreciation of your support for their product. And if your letter is negative, most companies are very concerned with customer service. My mom is a teacher and she has a segment of her syllabus where she has all the kids send a letter to a copany and they all compare to see who gets the best return gift.

I've written two letters. One was to a window company with a an etch-a-sketched version of their newspaper ad.

To show their appreciation, they sent me a lunchbox filled with sprites, two bags of Doritos and popcorn! Kinda strange appreciation gift but what else would a window company send?

Second letter I wrote was to Velveeta complaining about the confusing instructions on the box of their scalloped cheesy potatoes. They sent me a typed out version of instructions fit for a retarded person as well as two free coupons.

All together I'm two for two on my letters to companies. I'm expecting a reply within a week or two so I'll let you know how that goes; needless to say I was pretty heavy on the hints towards wanting them to at least replace my faulty and ruined etch-a-sketch. With this in mind, I'm expecting a replacement or a coupon or something awesome. An Etch-a-Sketch T-shirt would be cool. Hell, who knows, maybe they'll take a page from Champion Windows' book and send me a little picnic... Who cares, point is I'm getting gifts from companies. Can't go wrong.
Depending on the outcome of this letter, I might take stock of all the shit that bugs me and start writing.
