Adam Sandler Blog and Journals

my hubby is leaving today, again. :( i just dropped him off.  i have work in a little while, hopefully today doesn't go too bad. 

after work tonight, krystal and i are going back to the hard rock to hang out.  the band that is playing the center bar tonight is pretty good and i just like the atmosphere.  tomorrow night, if i don't get called in to work, we are going to a bonfire that people at work are putting on.  hopefully, it is fun, and not lame or depressing.  and hopefully its not storming on us tomorrow night.

i have had a lot on my mind lately.  ideas of what i want to do...stresses that are bothering me.  it is pretty frustrating to know that no matter how hard you work for something, you still are going to lose it.  oh well, shit happens. just sucks.

has anyone seen funny people? i really want to go see that this weekend. i love seth rogen and adam sandler. they are both amazing and amazingly funny.  jim carrey is, of course, my other fav. 

do you have anything fun going on this weekend??

 

love and rock n roll,

Dani

 

 

 

And just for the sake of it:

 

It was so funny! Adam Sandler's crazy antics never gets old. I can't stop bawling my head off because it's so darn hilarious. hahaha :)) LOL. One of Adam Sandlers best movie after You don't mess with the Zohan.

He plays and fits the role perfectly. And the way he tells the stories will surely get you laughing non-stop! :D

 

Much like Jerry today, I decided to take advantage of the cheap Tuesday ticket prices at the cinemas and go watch a movie. But unlike her, I went to see Bedtime Stories, as I was with my younger brother and sister and I'm a fan of Adam Sandler.

 

The premise of the movie is Skeeter Bronson (Adam Sandler), a maintenence man at the up-market Nottingham Hotel, is looking after his niece and nephew while his sister is away. To entertain them, he tells them bedtime stories similar to the ones his father told him when he was growing up.
But once he realises that what is told in the stories made up by the kids happens in real life, he decides to use this to his advantage to become the manager of the new Nottingham Hotel that is to be built.

It also stars Keri Russell (Felicity), Teresa Palmer (The Grudge 2), Guy Pearce (Priscilla: Queen of the Desert), Courtney Cox (Friends), Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess), Richard Griffiths (Harry Potter), Jonathan Pryce (Pirates of the Caribbean) and Russell Brand (Forgetting Sarah Marshall).

 

What I really enjoyed about the film was the way they put the events in the bedtime stories into the real world.  For example, in the scene where it's raining gumballs, the gumballs were actually 'raining' from the back of a busted truck. So rather than it be this totally surreal, out-of-this-world event happening, it's just a series of coincidences which places it back into reality.

The kids were absolutely adorable. And not this sort of annoyingly cute things either you get with a few child actors. Like, I genuinely wanted to give them hugs and pinch their cheeks, rather than slap them. And OMG... their pet guinea pig, Bugsy, was so fricken cute. ^_^

And all those people freaking out about Russell Brand being in the film, just chillax. It's a kids film, and a Disney one at that. They're not going to let him get away with penis and sex jokes, all right? In fact, I thought he could've been in the film a bit more.

And the music used in the film was cool as well.
=D

I give it 4.5/5, because it was a bit cliche with the ending, but that was probably guaranteed with a kids movie. But all in all, it's the kind of movie I watch and go "Damn, I wish I'd come up with this".

     Los Angeles, CA rocked on Saturday night (July 12) with some of the biggest names in rock and rock saluting The Who with performances during a taping of VH1's Rock Honors at the Pauley Pavilion (the show airs on July 17), but the best vibes were delivered by the honorees themselves.  The Who, which now currently comprises surviving original members Pete Townsend and Roger Daltry

Adam Sandler looks like Joe Trohman in the new movie Zohan. Well, not all the time. Only when Adam Sandler has a fro.

So who thinks they look like twins?

Ciao!

"Still, it appears that Giuliani has far more on-screen A-List star power behind him.

Actors Adam Sandler, Kelsey Grammer and Robert Duvall have all weighed in for the former New York mayor, along with Brad Grey and 24 producer Joel Surnow. (Duvall held a fundraiser for Giuliani at his Virginia horse country home.)"

I'll never be able to watch Billy Madison ever again without thinking about Giuliani.  THANKS ADAM SANDLER!

If you know me, you know I'm a fan of hate lists. So much more fun!

And this one's a doozy. Let me share some of the highlights with you:

• Lame in 2007 #23: The MPAA   Lame because: Spending 2007 on piracy-sniffing dogs, party-décor enforcement, cosmetic reforms that fixed almost nothing and other idiotic decisions (like the PG-13 rating for Beowulf, which hides the details of genitals yet shows the details of decapitation and impalement), the MPAA's had another great year of demonstrating what it's all about: Being useless. Anyone who's been to a movie theater in the past 12 years knows that the 'R' rating is a joke, and anyone with any critical capacity knows that the MPAA is tougher on sex than violence. And, to paraphrase Dean Wormer in Animal House, useless, hypocritical and stupid is no way for a lobbying group and ratings board to go through life. In the MPAA's vision of how things should be, a parent could, hypothetically take their teenager to see the R-rated Hostel II -- but not the NC-17 Lust, Caution. Because the MPAA thinks teens should be able to see (to quote the MPAA's own rating) "torture and bloody violence, terror, nudity, sexual content, language and some drug content," but kept from seeing "explicit sexuality." Ahhhh, the values of the MPAA: A woman being butchered alive is more suitable for teens than a woman having an orgasm. Oh, this year also saw the head of the National Association of Theater Owners ask that the major studios -- which fund the MPAA -- quit releasing unrated DVDs, or at least market them less fiercely. It seems releasing unrated DVDs makes a mockery of the ratings system (which the major studios fund), harms the finances of theaters (which don't bother enforcing MPAA ratings any more than they bother with encouraging quiet, properly maintaining their projection equipment or making sure the film's shown in the correct aspect ratio) and encourages people to wait for the DVD, which is bad for NATO's bottom line. Because, hey, you don't want to see the movie the director made at home -- you'd much rather go to the theater and see the version of the movie that was altered and cut based on the approval and standards of an unelected, anonymous and unaccountable group of randomly-chosen Judeo-Christian parents, right? Right?

I can't disagree with that. Fuck the MPAA.

• Lame in 2007 #18: Peter Jackson vs. New Line Cinema   Lame because: We just want our Hobbit movie already! Oh, and we only want it directed by Jackson. Both the studio and the filmmaker know this, so it hurts fans to think the legal battles are being fought without thinking of their needs. And in the business of geek movies, New Line and Jackson have to know that the fanboy needs must be met. Nonetheless, both parties lashed out at each other, then things calmed down, then we got some sad news, big directors chimed in or wanted in, and eventually things got "healthier". But all of that was so confusing it made our heads spin, and we still don't know what the outcome will be!

New Line, JUST LET HIM DO THE FILM HOW HE WANTS.

And I totally agree with the next one:

• Lame in 2007 #16: Zombies   Lame because: If you reviewed DVDs in 2007, odds are you got a zombie movie on your doorstep. I think we've proven that, unless you're the master George A. Romero, there's not much more anyone can do anymore with zombies. They're just not as versatile as, say, vampires or serial killers. The only real contribution in recent years to zombie lore was to make them faster, even though they were scary enough -- in a feet-stuck-in-the-mud nightmarish sort of way -- being slow.
  
  How to turn it around: Note to future zombie filmmakers: follow the Romero code. Give us some living characters that are more interesting than the dead ones.

Seriously. I love zombie flicks, but it's all recycled garbage at this point. STOP.

And one last more that I can fully support:

• Lame in 2007 #9: Gay Jokes In Movies   Lame because: Well, mainly because it's not seventh grade anymore. So just in case we've forgotten, jokes are supposed to be funny. And gay jokes aren't funny ... especially when your movie has 4,765 of them.
  
  How to turn it around: Take a page from the Blades of Glory's play-book. It can't all be about how "icky" it is when a dude kisses another dude. Although, when you're turning to Will Ferrell comedies for insight, you know you're in a bad, bad place to begin with.

Make sure to check out the full list. #1 is interesting, to say the least.

Today's dedication is for anyone who drives a beater. 

Seriously, I feel like I'm in the Fall Out Boy flower van.  No heat, no air conditioning and it sucks gas down by fractions of a mile per gallon.  I have dual exhaust and my muffler clanks like a huge tin can.  It's embarassing when people can hear you coming down the street before they see you.  So I froze in 19 degree weather on the way to and from work.  Today, I hate my fucking car.  HATE IT!  So, without further ado, here is my dedication. 


Ode To My Car by Adam Sandler

Here we go

Piece of shit car
I got a piece of shit car
That fuckin pile of shit
Never gets me very far

My cars a big piece of shit
cause the shocks are fucking shot
And my seatbelts fucking broken
I got to tie it in a knot
(its a piece of shit)

I cant see through the windshield
cause its got a big fucking crack
And the interior smells real bad
cause my friend puked in the back
(its a piece of shit)

(piece of shit car)
Piece of shit car
(hes got a piece of shit car)
It sucks royal dick
(that fuckin pile of shit)
100% crap
(never gets him very far)
Oh fuck you car

Its got no cd player, it only got the 8-track
Whoever designed my car can lick my sweaty nut sack
(they can bite his ass too)
And I got no fuckin brakes
Im always way out of control
Eleven times a day I hear hey, watch it asshole
(you fuckin piece of shit)

(piece of shit car)
I got piece of shit car
(he got a piece of shit car)
Diesel gas sucks my ass
(that fuckin pile of shit)
That pile of metal shit
(never gets him very far)

Oh what the fuck did I do
What the fuck did I do
What the fuck did I do
To get stuck with you
Youre too wide for drive-thru
And you smell like the shoe
But Im too broke to buy something new
Oh fuck me

Well the engine likes to flood
The car always fuckin stalls
And the seat cushions got a big rip
So a spring always pokes the balls
(ouch, ouch, ouch)
Plus the door locks are busted
I gotta use a fucking coat hanger
(what a pain in his ass)
And if a girlie sees my car
Theres no chance Ill ever bang her
(he never ever gets da pussy)
Hey shut up
(piece of shit car)
You piece of shit car

(you got a piece of shit car)
You piece of shit car
(piece of shit car)
Bald fuckin tires
(you got a piece of shit car)
No rearview fucking mirror
(piece of shit car)
Seven different colors
(you got a piece of shit car)
Fucking rag for a gas cap
(piece of shit car)
Tailpipe makes the sparks fly everywhere
(you got a piece of shit car)
(piece of shit car)
(you got a piece of shit car)
(piece of shit car)
Oh the whole town thinks Im a loser
(you got a piece of shit car)
Cabby give me a push
(piece of shit car...)

Don't forget to check out Maddie's dedication. :)

Today I want to dedicate a song to all the Jewish people out there that are celebrating Chanukah. I am Jewish and tonight is the first night of Chanukah. We light the menorah in memory of the Maccabees who only had enough oil for one night. They ended up having enough oil for eight nights which is why we celebrate Chanukah. Judah was the leader of the Maccabees and he was brave and very strong. He is a hero and will always be a hero in my eyes. I want to dedicate "The Chanukah Song" by Adam Sandler to all the Jewish people out there because there just aren't enough songs about Chanukah out there. Christmas has all those songs so why can't we have a song? Adam Sandler being the comical genious he is decided to create a Chanukah song that is not only wonderful but very funny.
