1. Some people love him; I'm one of those who can't stand him
Just one big, annoying goofball.

3. Can't stand him either.
Plus, his movies are awful. Even Nicholson couldn't save Anger Management, and I dearly love Nicholson.

39. That'd Be My Take Too
Doesn't make me laugh. Doesn't make me think. Just one dimensional silliness. I don't know that can't stand him. But, i wouldn't pick up the remote an extra time to put one of his movies on.

2. What was that supposed to be between him and Chris Rock?
Sounded stupid to me.

7. If it had Sandler in it, it probably WAS stupid.

4. Always.
And I avoid his movies because he always does the same annoying schtick in a movie that's totally stupid.

29. Aw, thanks for asking. She's as adorable as usual.
She was just eating her baby peas, and I always think it looks so cute seeing a tiny green bird eating tiny green peas. :-) Her hatchday is next week--she'll be 2!

How's Murphee doing? Grace says, "How ya doin', girlfriend?" :hi:

32. heh heh, Murphee and Grace have lots in common!
They both seem to love peas. ;) And Murphee will be 2 in March/April (I'm guessing)

Murphee's fine. :) :hi: Thanks. ;)

Happy Birthday, Grace! :D

6. can't stand him...
do ya think they had to get Catherine Zeta-Jones' approval for that skit? She's so touchy about stuff like that... It was a bad skit anyway.

14. I liked "The Wedding Singer,"
but only because he didn't do that stupid little boy schtick that is so annoying. I hated "Waterboy." Grow up, Adam!

15. I'm just disappointed that Katherine Zeta Jones didn't show.
what's up with that?! If she had shown, I probably would be asking, "Adam who?"

18. Not really annoying...just nothing special.
Which means that if he is in a movie, I avoid it.

and I still have never seen it since I can't stand watching Adam Sandler.

24. I believe it was called "The Waterboy"
Yup, I just googled it and that was it. Much more to my liking was when Tom Hanks filmed "From the Earth to the Moon" on our campus. The faculty lounge got turned into the Oval Office in the White House. :-)

25. The Waterboy is Sandler at his most annoying
DO NOT watch it! It stinks.

I would like to see that "From the Earth to the Moon," Hanks is good most of the time.

where I was living at the time.

22. most comedians are an aquired taste
Some people love Woody Allen others detest him. Same for Jerry Lewis. I don't particularly like Sandler, but know many who do.

30. What? What's wrong with the same movie, made eight times?
Look what it did for Hope and Crosby!

31. NO! Not just you!
Here Here! I find him annoying, charmless, and unfunny. And he's a rethug to boot.

34. I don't find him annoying...
.... but he is not a top tier actor or comedian, and I don't really understand his success. Many more talented folks are ignored.

35. I'm not a big fan of Sandler's movies, but some of the songs
he's done are hilarious: Lunch Lady Land, The Lonesome Kicker, Piece of Shit Car ( I think that's the name). They crack me up.

:shrug: Adults are supposed to enjoy and act like that ? Yikes.

37. Annoying and talentless, except for his songs
Loved Opera Man, and some of his songs are quite hilarious.

But as an actor or a non-singing comedian - forget it.
