Uncut Gems - Adam Sandler is an actor

[samuraicrack]

So Adam Sandler's new movie, Uncut Gems, comes out tomorrow in my area. I've seen that it was already released on the 13th, though. Wanted to make a thread to talk about the movie and if anyone has seen it/is going to see it.

 

[Mediocre]

I watched it a few days ago since I saw it while browsing for something to download, it's okay but the story line is just completely retarded but I don't really want to post spoilers since maybe you're planning on watching it.

 

[Y2K Baby]

I keep thinking about circumcision.

 

[DarkWestern]

You could chain by testicles to a cannonball and fire it into the theater and I'd still find a way to get out of watching this abortion of cinema.

 

[SiccDicc]

I liked his The Cobbler, I'll probably watch it when it's on Hulu or Netflix.

 

[Yellow Yam Scam]

It's a great film. Adam Sandler can act, particularly if the character is sufficiently Jewish in spirit.

 

[frozenrunner]

I love watching actors play against type and change audience perceptions of their talents. I can't wait to see it.

 

[HollaGemini]

I didnt mind it, but I downloaded it, wouldnt pay to see it and wouldnt watch it twice.
Its okay. But how the story is told is really annoying. The only thing I really liked about it was how they portrayed a degenerate gambler.
Also the soundtrack is fucking loud, at times too loud, louder than the dialogue.
Check out Reign Over Me if you like actors playing against type, Adam Sandler portrays an absolutely destroyed man and its heartbreaking, its the only movie that ever visibly upset me.

I can't be the only one who clicked on this thread believing it to be about irl uncut gems

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

I can't be the only one who clicked on this thread believing it to be about irl uncut gems

I was kind of excited to read about them, tbh.

As far as this movie goes, it’s going to be a big meh from me.

 

[Commander X]

Surprising cameo by Rob Schneider who yells "You can do eet!" in a heavily accented voice.

 

[Dr. Octogonapus]

Damnit, I thought we were gonna be talking about rocks. I got excited. I have an uncut ruby and sapphire.

 

[Overcooked Raccoon]

I love watching actors play against type and change audience perceptions of their talents. I can't wait to see it.

Sandler has that down since Reign Over Me and even Click to an extent.

 

[BrunoMattei]

A screener leaked. I'll try to watch it tonight or tomorrow.

 

[Dolphin Lundgren]

I'm interested in seeing it. So far I've liked most of Adam Sandler's serious portrayals, like Punch Drunk Love and Reign Over Me. I wish he'd do more noncomedy roles.

 

[Kulee Baba]

I thought the film was fantastic, knowing a lot of degenerate gamblers it felt very true to life seeing Sandler's character just abandoning all common sense in his attempt for his big win. Even though he was an utterly terrible person I couldn't help but root for him.

Also the chick playing his love interest was a total doll. Didn't even show off her tits and was really hot to look at.

Lastly major kudos to the director for using accurate phones & software for the period (2012) and not dumbing down the gambling jargon for the lowest common denominator. I hate when you watch a new movie and the characters use fake OSes or have to explain what a "parlay" is.

 

[BrunoMattei]

It was okay. I've seen this story too many times before like in Bad Lieutenant (original and remake).

 

[The Cunting Death]

nigger I already made a thread on this

Saw it twice, once streamed, second in theater. Liked it.

 

[Atatata]

I enjoyed this movie a lot. Its a movie that starts off fast and expects you to run with it.

The soundtrack was kino too, I wonder if the Akira track was a coincidence or if they were referencing it.

 

[StarkRavingMad]

I saw the Safdie Brothers' previous movie, Good Time, and it was fan-freaking-tastic. I also love it when Adam Sandler takes on a more serious role.

So, needless to say, I am very interested in checking this movie out when I have the time. Hopefully it will still be in theaters past January 5th.
