    Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston is like what I imagine my parents’ Tom Hanks and Meg Ryans felt like. I will literally watch any cheesy direct-to-streaming B-rate romcom with the two of them in it. They’re so dorky and cute together I love them.

          For lolita express? Probably, we know he was one of the people who were in the letter book and he’s made statements about attending events with Epstein and young women. What’s young to a dude who openly fucks 16 yr olds?

        i’m someone who grew up fat/ morbidlyobese and is now 160 lbs at 6’0” height, this is real af and talking about weight with anyone now pisses me tf off usually.

        people are fat as shit now and it’s entirely normalized. you can’t even say being fat is bad for you without someone asserting that it’s possible to be both overweight and healthy at the same time. it’s not. being overweight at all, let alone fucking obese or morbidly obese, is literally up there with smoking and drinking on the shaving years off your life scale. no one should be made fun of for their body but portions of the fat acceptance movement went too far deluding people into risking their health, and corporate america has been feeding us all literal high calorie slop that is as addicting as fucking drugs.

        virtually everyone is at least somewhat overweight now in america, most people are obese, with the rest of the west trending towards the same fate. it’s a gigantic fucking public health crisis. i’ll talk about how i need to lose 10-20 lbs and people will say “tHaT wOuLd mAkE yOu lOoK sIcKlY ThO!?!”… 1. who the fuck cares? it’s my body and idk why vanity is such a big factor for people, anyway. idgaf if being a normal weight for my height would make me look “sickly” in a country like this 2. and it really fucking wouldn’t! i don’t have an eating disorder or anything, and i’m smart enough to objectively measure and maintain my own body. i could stand to lose a few pounds of fat and go to the gym!

        i’m sitting here having to have been made fun of my whole childhood for being fat and now ive grown up into bizarro world where everyone is overweight and i’m the weird one again for trying to maintain my body. fuck you guys. my kungfu is better than yours. lmao jk but being fat as a kid is seriously traumatic. not wanting to take your shirt off at pools really sucks and is a part of it but there’s worse stuff. i still don’t really like my body bc i probably will need to have loose skin removal surgery over my torso to look normal. not sure, will try bulking up a bit first but have never been a gymbro or anything like that. maybe it’ll turn out okay.

        thanks for coming to the local trauma dump haveawonderfulnightcomeagain.

          I feel heard for the first time. I’m 6’3" and ~165lbs these days and I hear so consistently I’m skin and bones. As if I don’t still have a healthy gut/spare tire.

          I’m mostly surprised you didn’t touch on clothes not being made for what used to be the most standard of body sizes.

          Know you aren’t alone if nothing else.

          I hear you. I was always a skinny kid, but I went through some bad, traumatic shit in my early twenties and ballooned up - from 105 to 177 as a 5’0" woman. Being obese sucked and I’ve worked super hard to get the weight off and keep it off. But in the meantime the HAES / fat acceptance thing took off and now I feel like I’m living in bizarro world. I hated being obese for so many reasons and can’t imagine how people can convince themselves that it’s okay to just remain like that. I mean, to each their own, but they’re setting themselves up for disease and disability. I think it’s really sad.

          the data is out, and apparently, calling someone a fat piece of shit, and them believing you, ISN’T an effective wight lost strategy. I guess you gotta care about yourself to work on yourself? so. there’s really no point in telling fat people they are bad and should feel bad.

      Right?
      If they wanted a Peach that was drawn smoking hot, they could go to any image board and there would be thousands.
      Instead they used… That thing that looks weird instead of cute or sexy.

        Harder for nintendo to sue you though, so probably a safer bet to use AI. If Nintendo goes after the AI and gets it shut down we all win anyway

      It’s also really bad even for AI.

      Not only would it have been really, really easy to find a non-AI image, it would have been similarly easy to get better results from image gen. It’s like they went out of their way to find the worst slop possible.

    I heard people theorize that Sandler has to be an amazing guy and great friend and all the good actors star in his shit movies as a personal favor. I also heard somewhere that at when they finish shooting for the day a boombox automatically appears on the set and it turns into a party.

      His movies are just group trips to nice places with his friends and they all get paid. The great friend part seems to check out if you ask me.

      Basically none of them are amazing movies but everyone gets paid. Sometimes for going to a tropical resort.

        Sandler turned out a number of genuine hits. Uncut Gems was a serious work of art. Happy Gilmore was a fun modern take on Caddyshack. 50 First Dates was as legit a RomCom as has ever been produced.

        But he’s also turned out so much slop that it can be easy to lose the wheat amid the chaffe.

          Okay tbh I phrased it a bit differently from what I meant. I did mean that most aren’t amazing, not that none are.

          The slop I think is just there for a regular pay checks and fun with friends, whereas the good movies are to fuel the creative fire.

      He has a number of good movies. I guess because the most popular means visible movies are his slop comides for the whole family his “real” movies kinda goes under the radar.

      Uncut gems is a masterpiece but I wanna mention Spaceman because it is fantastic. It is kinda the opposite of Uncut gems, if the first is like fast pace on the edge of you seat that you spend the whole movie holding your breath that shit is about to hit the fan, Spaceman is super slow and introspective, big great nonetheless.

      One of my favorite movie anecdotes is that during some press conference promoting Magnolia someone asked Paul Thomas Anderson what his next movie is going to be and he said “a comedy with Adam Sandler” and everyone laughed. And then he made Punch Drunk Love.

      Also, Reign over Me was also pretty good.

      It was written and directed by someone else entirely. Adam Sandler just stars in the movie. Anything actually good he’s been in hasn’t been one of his own projects.
