Poll question: Which movie will suck more?
Remember when Adam Sandler and Mike Myers were funny?

This is a tough one.

1. Myers funniness ended with the second Austin Powers...
Sandler seems to still be able to toss relatively funny ones out there, though none will beat Happy Gilmore nor Billy Madison.

2. Myers' funniness might have ended with Austin Power 2...
But I think it peaked with the first Wayne's World.

5. Adam Sandler was never funny
I hated him on SNL with his stupid xxxxxMan! routines. I hate his fucking movies. I hate him, period.

15. My wife said he was really great in the movie about the guy who
lost his wife daughters and even the family dog on 9/11

I didn't watch any part but a few minutes in which he made his daily trip to the liquor store and dug out the family gun


My wife said he was really good in it but then how hard is it to do that? I think he did it as a youknow thing for the 9/11 survivors



I have never understood the Sandler thing but he seems to be a great guy (he lets all his friends make movies "Ladies Man" "Joe Dirt" etc.) to hang around with :shrug:

7. My dad has said this for years...

Our economy must be fine, because these kinds of movies continue to get made, and millions of people still blow their money on them.

Until people say "I'm staying home", this drivel will continue to be made.

I think the Myers movie will suck more, since that character and movie type has been done before. AND they will probably make fun of hockey stereotypes, which makes me happy I'll never actually see it. Since I watch hockey, I've seen the preview for it like 15 times now during commercial breaks. It looks truly appalling.

8. i saw previews for both and i think they'll be equally awful but in different ways.
Sandler is just not funny, i imagine he'll be Adam Sandler with a terrible accent and Mike Myers just tries way too hard.

9. After "I Now Pronounce you Chuck and Larry", it's just going to get worse.
I cringed when I read the plot synopsis about this. It sounds like a another big fag joke marathon.

12. While infinities can come in different sizes, infinities are still infinities.

How can you compare infinite suckitude to infinite suckitude?
