Post Pixels... anyone seen it?

So it's getting a 18% from the professional reviewers at Rotten Tomatoes but a 56% from the fans. I'm getting a good cult movie vibe from half of them and lame Adam Sandler gross-out 'comedy' with video games and '80s nostalgia tacked on to sell a turkey from the other half.

I haven't seen it, but the reviews I've seen and the lovely two-part breakdown of Sandler's Jack & Jill by Red Letter Media indicate it's probably one of those bad movies that just make you feel bad after you see it.

One reviewer who love video games says it's the kind of movie that makes you hate the things you love. That's pretty harsh

Thanks, I think I'll just skip this one and watch the Red Letter Media review instead. Seems a bunch of the fan reviews on Rotten Tomatoes were pretty much the same thing about disgracing the memories of games represented here.

I'd been thinking about it and I think I have it figured out why Adam Sandler movies are so miserable.

It's because Adam Sandler is not a comedian. He's just a goofy guy. We all have that friend who cracks wise or does silly voices. Sandler was that guy and enough people told him to be a comedian that he tried his schtick on stage and somehow, god know how, managed to get on to SNL and then into movies.

That he is not a comedian explains why his movies contain almost no jokes. He doesn't know how to write jokes. He has no discipline or craft or skill. So it's not just laziness. It's ineptitude. He is incompetent at his job and all of these years in the business, he hasn't advanced or gained skill at all.

Sounds like a good explanation to me. I was never much of a fan of Sandler, even in 'Happy Gilmore' I thought he was more of a giant jerk than funny.

The more I hear about this film the more I'm convinced Mike and Jay's review was probably funnier than the movie. And Mike's attempt to explain the snarled-up timeline of Terminator V was pretty hilarious. I expect it won't be long till all the good video game FX parts of the film are all on YouTube anyway saving us all from watching the rest of it.
