Finding it difficult not to make a Sandusky-shower joke here
Brings up a point that I was discussing last night. This is not at all directed at you, but given what we have learned and probably what we will learn, are Sandusky jokes ever going to be okay??Don't get me wrong, I've laughed at some tasteless Michael Jackson jokes, which I know makes me a hypocrite, but this Sandusky thing just gets me for some reason.

Perhaps I'm being too uptight, but in this case, I can't help it.
Yes. Everything is fair game for a joke. The key will be that it be timed well and done with some degree of tact and a decent sense for crafting a good joke.
Agree with this, but this is difficult comedy to pull off. Too much potential for a Godfried-joking-about-9/11 implosion. More importantly, how would handle my shower problem?

Sandusky jokes are responsible for the Goggins ban, so I'd say they've already done more good than most jokes.

If anyone can do it, I know you can. :thumbup: Again, wasn't targeting you at all. Just a topic of conversation. Which, upon reflection, I shouldn't have raised, as it has the potential to turn this thread into the :tfp: that the Sandusky thread is.

Canadians don't know how to wash their bum in the shower? :confused:
Stop avoiding the question. What would you do?
I'd turn my back to the shower, part the ham-crack with one hand while furiously scrubbing the affected area with shower gel with the other hand.ETA: This is in response to pooping in the shower. It is not related to Penn State in any way.

Howard the Duck, Gigli, Showgirls, From Justin To Kelly. What do they all have in common? They're all widely considered to be among the worst big studio movies ever made. You know what else they have in common? They're all better than Jack and Jill.
:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
 
:lmao: Some other ones from Rotten Tomatoes:

"It's pretty sad if you're a comic and Al Pacino is the funniest thing in your movie."

"In some parallel universe, hilarity ensues."

"Guess what's playing in movie critic hell?"

"The apocalypse starts here."

This looks terrible. And I like some Adam Sandler movies.
This.
Sandler did two good films early on and has lived off their dwindling reputation since. Happy Gilmore and the Waterboy. Everything else is awful. Like slimy shart juice sliding down the drain awful.

Happy Gilmore and The Wedding Singer are his best. Billy Madison and the Waterboy fall in a tier below that. Big Daddy close.

50 First Dates and Bedtime Stories were tolerable. Again, I don't count Punch Drunk Love, which is a good movie.

Strangely, I've enjoyed Sandler in his more serious roles lately (Grown Ups, Funny People, Spanglish, Punch Drunk Love).
 
I happen to like Funny People. Didn't really find it funny. There are a couple of tolerable Sandler movies made over the past 10 years, no funny ones though.

eta - sorry "ALL HILARIOUS" needed a sarcasm emoticon I think

I forgot about The Wedding Singer. :thumbup: Ok. But I will never ever understand the love for Billy Madison. To me it was a typical crappy wannabe comedy with horrific editing that made it feel like a series of scenes culminating in formulaic jokes, taped together with a formulaic plot. And most of the gags sucked. :thumbdown:

I don't get the love for Punch Drunk Love. I wanted to like it, but I didn't. Maybe it was just way over my head, but I thought it was dumb. Guy gets scammed by a phone sex operator, pays her boss a visit, yells at him, scares him, returns back home. He also saves a bunch of pudding tops to fly to Hawaii. Oh, and he finds some sort of piano device that he loves. He also screams a lot.

Old Italian guy is a criminal. His curly haired son is a hot-head. His other son is half a feeb. But his third son is smart and quiet. Old guy gets shot. Some more people get shot. Son takes over and more people get shot. Some people speak Italian.

Yeah, but who doesn't like Star Wars...terrible comparison here.
 
Holy crap, Manhattan has a hoops player without a forearm...pretty cool. ----> \ :thumbup:
Heard about this guy on NPR a couple of months ago. Are they playing somewhere on TV? Has to be better than this MNF game.
Nah, game's over now, he was put in at the end. Didn't get to see him shoot or anything. Very tall, lanky kid. Blocks and boards only I guess.
Back in High School we played against a team that had a one-armed kid when I played and Captained the Frosh basketball team (we went 3 and 14 and led the league in technicals, ejections and at one point almost had to forfeit a game because the entire team was going to be suspended because we were caught drinking in the lockerroom after practice. Also had 2 guys on the team get ejected in a game once because they were fist fighting each other on the bench) Any ways, this kid we were playing against did not have a left arm, kinda just had a stub like Jim Abbott. But the kid was good and he was lighting us up in the first half. At halftime our Coach (who I think became an alcoholic due to our team) completely lost it. He's screaming about our lack of effort and lack of teamwork and then says how #22 (one-armed bandit) is killing us out there. He calmed down for a second and then with a fierce intensity told us this: "I'm only gonna say this once: for the love of God, force that kid to his left! He LITERALLY HAS NO LEFT!!! When he's dribbling and he gives you that head and shoulder fake and looks like he's going to go left..... HE'S NOT GOING LEFT!!!! I promise you he's not!!! Now I swear to God, if any of you get beat by that kid going right, as God as my witness I will punch you in the face and walk out of the gym and never come back! Are we clear on this?"

Since I didn't really care about the season anymore I replied: "Coach, don't worry, I'll guard him in the 2nd half. Now which number is he again?" Coach just smiled and told me I was a complete jack###.
:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

At one point, the excruciating agony of Jack and Jill had gone on for so long that I figured it just had to be about over. I looked at my watch and was horrified to discover that only 30 minutes had passed. Do you know what a depressing feeling that is? Have you ever wanted desperately to escape an unpleasant situation, only to realize that you're stuck there for twice the amount of time you've already spent? There's nothing funny about this movie, and sitting through it is a chore. The performances are terrible. Sandler isn't funny as a woman, and Pacino isn't funny as himself. The material is crude, obvious, and at a junior high level. The editing is choppy, the direction leaden. Jack and Jill is, in my opinion, not in any kind of releasable condition. Yet here it is anyway, stinking up multiplexes with its foulness. Do yourself a favor and see any other movie that's currently playing. You can't do worse than this. (1/2 star out of four)
 
And dp, the proper reaction to the shower shart would have been to call the wife in to give you a thorough scrubbing.
I like the cut of your jib.But sadly she wasn't home. All I had was the cat, who wanted to help in the way he takes care of his own scatological crisises. I just couldn't do it.
