One of these things is not like the other

Thomas McCarthy was a director that I was starting to really look forward to.  I thought all three of his movies were great. Then I learned that he is releasing this on Friday: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_cobbler_2015/

"A slow-motion zeppelin crash that starts as a dull-edged fable, and then spirals further and further out of control without ever growing more exciting or interesting"

"The last ten minutes of The Cobbler are a special kind of awful. The rest is a mere disappointment coming from McCarthy, but business as usual for Sandler."

"Sandler gets lost in The Cobbler, and so does any vestige of the filmmaker's connection to his audience."

 

Sounds like a winner!

I haven't seen Win Win but the other two are great movies.  I won't see his new one because it has Sandler.

How the hell did Method Man and Adam Sandler hook up?

[mrwicked]

Win Win is pretty good, haven't seen the rest.

Peter Dinklage is great is everything though so I want to check out the Station Agent.

You know it's bad, when an Adam Sandler movie gets no press whatsoever.  I didn't even know about this film till this topic.  And I watch movies a lot.

im more excited about the notion of a cobbler.

man i havent had legit peach cobbler in a decade.

a blackberry cobbler sounds legit right now too.

Station Agent is a great little film, no pun intended.

Go out and get Win Win.  I loved it.  Solid movie.

I will definitely check it out.  The Visitor was another almost over looked movie.

A cobbler is a Shoemaker and not one that pitches.

[Blarg]

Directors, like actors, sometimes make package deals where they don't choose their next film to do the one they want to. Evidently he did a deal with the devil and ended up with Sandler who keeps re-siging with the Beezelbub Talent Agency.

Not to be confused with a gobbler.

my favorite scene in any adam sandler movie is still this, and he was the most irrelevant part of it:

 

Here is mine that I like to use on occasion.

 

[Ray McKigney]

Bummer. I thought cobbler was a portmanteau of cock gobbler. 

[NJHalo]

You are all missing some fine Sandler acting

[gotbeer]

BTW.  If China boosts the movie sales of this godforsaken movie, so that Sandler can continue to make crap.  We should immediately nuke them.  

 

It's already bad enough that they love the Transformer movies.

Win Win was really good.

I'm more impressed there is a movie with Sandler and Method Man. That's one of the most bizarre pairings I can think of.

Although Method Man was pretty good in The Wire.

What was worse, thats my boy or jack and jill?

(Cant believe pacino agreed to do that one)
