He was funny in Grandma’s Boy, but has been terrible in everything else. He tries to steal the show in every film he is in, but that’s the kind of thing that, if you don’t have the chops to do it, it just seems kind of pathetic.

Okay, I’ve tweeted and FB’d this and now I shall drop it here because seriously this is hilarious: The Vatican has hired a Fox News reporter to “to help improve its communications strategy as it tries to cope with years of communications blunders and one of its most serious scandals in decades”. The guy says his job will involve “shaping the message”.
I mean, seriously? I guess to the Vatican, “improve” means “make even worse and more full of shit”, in which case, Fox News is totally the way to go!
I am just LOLing.

And on a more serious note and because it’s an OT: nervous tonight, as my 84-year-old Grandpa is having gallbladder surgery tomorrow morning. I guess he has gallstones, not sure if they are removing the stones, or the organ itself? Either way, and even though they are doing laparoscopic surgery so it’s minimally invasive, I can’t help but worry. I mean, he’s old, you know? And not in the greatest health before this. And I can’t be there and I feel bad :/
I assume this is a fairly common, straightforward procedure, and that the doctors wouldn’t go ahead with it if they thought it was too risky due to his age. But I don’t know. I always worry about this shit.
Anyone have experience? Am I worrying over nothing?

@Alison: If it makes you feel any better, my grandmother-in-law had open heart surgery when she was 92 and she not only made it, she’s still going strong 6 years later. You can’t help but worry, but he’ll probably be fine.

http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/2012/06/stiglitz-conard-debate-income-inequality/
The debate was too short, and crappy debate format by Bloomberg. I don’t know details of all the stats Conard throws out, but where I do know them, Conard is totally wrong and does not know what he is talking about. He seems to think that Fed policy US financial deregulation had no influence in Europe, and that European housing finance boom had nothing to do with credit flowing from underegulated financial system.

Chaos and noisy mayhem here all day. We and three neighbors removed and disposed of an 80′ wood fence. Cleared dead limbs from a large area. My advice: if you ever need to do this work and finish the same day, let the 60 year old accountant sit it out. They get in the way.
Then the tree crew came and spent 7 hours getting a rogue apple tree out of the utility wires. More chaos and noise. The dog is hoarse from having a wealth of things that needed barking at from dawn until dusk.

Tifton 85. Watch out for Tifton 85 folks.
The hidden assumption of the safety propaganda is that one gene is responsible for one trait, which is true sometimes but sometimes not. Genes are not like little robots designed to do one thing.
And they can be regulated by chemicals to switch on and off in conjunction with other genes, or do something more or less intensely.
Also the idea that genetic engineering is just like breeding, seems weird to me too. So, yeah, breeder would cross, say, lettuce and castor oil plants all the time in the old days. Or stinkbugs and cows. Sure they did.

He gots the screen presence, though. I would love to see him in something worthy again. He started off in Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

He was funny on Reno 911. But that was a funny show. I haven’t ventured out past that tho. That and the Adam Sandler movies he’s in.
Sandler does really stupid and silly frathouse humor. If you’re not into that, you won’t think he’s funny. Sometimes I am. Sometimes I’m not. But you’ll never see Sandler be something he’s not. He realizes who pays his bills. He’ll always give his audience what it wants.
I say this though. He was pretty good in Punchdrunk Love. He should try more independent films. And there was that one filmed where he played this spoiled comedian who made these really terrible movies. Don’t know if that was much of a stretch tho.

When it comes to Jason Statham movies, nothing beats Crank. It starts out as a transporter style summer action flick and then goes full metal stupid. If you’ve played video games, or seen porn, the second Crank movie is even more hilarious.
If MST3K were to do these movies, the crew would be challenged to make comments more ridiculous than the movie itself.

I agree with you there. I don’t think I have seen either Crank movie all the way through, but I always feel markedly stupider after seeing various pieces and parts of the eternal Spike reruns.

Sandler’s currently renting a house in Marblehead (just across the harbor) for a filming, and he’s apparently a mellow guy, going about his business amongst the locals. So I keep hearing “OMG! So-and-so met Adam Sandler the other day!” stories.
My apparent lack of enthusiasm has been enough to (inadvertently) offend people. I’ve just never been a fan. But by all accounts, he’s quite nice (he let three of my step-daughter’s friends take a pic with him to post on Facebook, not a lot of celebs would allow that).

There is a very locally-famous dude in Atlanta who has had that particular hair style (if I may so refer to it) for almost 50 years to my certain knowledge.

In fact, I imagine most Atlantans probably think he’s dead, although they see his influence very day if they look around.
