On the Adam Sandler front, he is an annoying largely unfunny tit, but he's very good in Punch Drunk Love, the film by the Magnolia guy.
American comedy films....lack of humour Page 3
I like him in The Wedding Singer, and that golf one, and that one about doing school again. I think I hate all his other films.

Ah, marvellous, marvellous film that!
I liked Will Farrell when he first came out but think 90% of the stuff he's in is rubbish. Same with Ben Stiller and the rest of his friends.
It feels like they get their film ideas from random plot generators.
I miss the days of Murray, Ackroyd and Murphy.
I think these new guys are capable of producing classics, if only they took the time and didn't jump on every opportunity they were given.

They've all done a hell of a lot of shit. Especially Murphy. He's made some truly hateful films. Trading Places seems like a very long time ago indeed.

Usually described in every review as one of the worst movies made in years. Just saying...
Yes, I'd heard that it's meant to be a bit crap. Still, that almost certainly means that I'll love it.

Say one bad word against Anchorman and our love affair is over, Leevil.

I'll say one good thing - I love lamp.
Leevil, do you really love the lamp, or are you saying it because you saw it?
One word. Animal House.

As do I.
However, I suspect that we may be referring to very different things.
I'm not an expert, but can one refer to lamps as an abstract entity? Odd.
Errr. Yes?
Elf is actually my favourite Ferrell film. I only like 2 scenes in Anchorman.
