i’m someone who grew up fat/ morbidlyobese and is now 160 lbs at 6’0” height, this is real af and talking about weight with anyone now pisses me tf off usually.
people are fat as shit now and it’s entirely normalized. you can’t even say being fat is bad for you without someone asserting that it’s possible to be both overweight and healthy at the same time. it’s not. being overweight at all, let alone fucking obese or morbidly obese, is literally up there with smoking and drinking on the shaving years off your life scale. no one should be made fun of for their body but portions of the fat acceptance movement went too far deluding people into risking their health, and corporate america has been feeding us all literal high calorie slop that is as addicting as fucking drugs.
virtually everyone is at least somewhat overweight now in america, most people are obese, with the rest of the west trending towards the same fate. it’s a gigantic fucking public health crisis. i’ll talk about how i need to lose 10-20 lbs and people will say “tHaT wOuLd mAkE yOu lOoK sIcKlY ThO!?!”… 1. who the fuck cares? it’s my body and idk why vanity is such a big factor for people, anyway. idgaf if being a normal weight for my height would make me look “sickly” in a country like this 2. and it really fucking wouldn’t! i don’t have an eating disorder or anything, and i’m smart enough to objectively measure and maintain my own body. i could stand to lose a few pounds of fat and go to the gym!
i’m sitting here having to have been made fun of my whole childhood for being fat and now ive grown up into bizarro world where everyone is overweight and i’m the weird one again for trying to maintain my body. fuck you guys. my kungfu is better than yours. lmao jk but being fat as a kid is seriously traumatic. not wanting to take your shirt off at pools really sucks and is a part of it but there’s worse stuff. i still don’t really like my body bc i probably will need to have loose skin removal surgery over my torso to look normal. not sure, will try bulking up a bit first but have never been a gymbro or anything like that. maybe it’ll turn out okay.
thanks for coming to the local trauma dump haveawonderfulnightcomeagain.

But, see, the problem is... The problem is that... That uh... The problem is that women don't know what they like!!!

In my experience, the people who really like large muscular men are other men.

Is it really that difficult to find a picture of peach that AI has to be used to make this meme?
vithigar@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
It’s also really bad even for AI.
Not only would it have been really, really easy to find a non-AI image, it would have been similarly easy to get better results from image gen. It’s like they went out of their way to find the worst slop possible.

Or just post cosplay.
I’d struggle to name a more cosplayed character in the genre.

Harder for nintendo to sue you though, so probably a safer bet to use AI. If Nintendo goes after the AI and gets it shut down we all win anyway

I heard people theorize that Sandler has to be an amazing guy and great friend and all the good actors star in his shit movies as a personal favor. I also heard somewhere that at when they finish shooting for the day a boombox automatically appears on the set and it turns into a party.
boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
His movies are just group trips to nice places with his friends and they all get paid. The great friend part seems to check out if you ask me.
Basically none of them are amazing movies but everyone gets paid. Sometimes for going to a tropical resort.
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago

Sandler turned out a number of genuine hits. Uncut Gems was a legitimate work of art. Happy Gilmore was a fun modern take on Caddyshack. 50 First Dates was as legit a RomCom as has ever been produced.
But he’s also turned out so much slop that it can be easy to lose the wheat amid the chaffe.
TheMinister@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
As someone who works in film, I don’t understand how people would be down with that. Our days are stupid long and exhausting. Everyone usually just wants to get home by the time we finally finish
ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 2 weeks ago
What do you do? I’m super curious about the ‘behind the scenes’ of the movie industry.
JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It’s probably a bit easier if you don’t have to care about the quality of the film.

Also every Ben Stiller romcom (and most his other movies too). Dude’s got a hangup on cute blondes, we get it already.
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago

Ben Stiller is a grade A certified piece of ass and I’d break off a piece in a heartbeat.

And for Sandler it’s pretty much just Drew Barrymore, again. Three is a lot.

Except Ben Stiller doesnt look weird and goofy like Adam Sandler. And his comedy isn’t horrible cringe either.
pyre@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
ben stiller is funny, especially cause he has a serious looking face. this comedy doesn’t have to lean into “oh look I’m a funny face”.
echolalia@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
the only good Adam Sandler movie is uncut gems
its a good movie, he is cast perfectly, and he gets punched in the face

I just watched it the other day and I still love it. Probably the nostalgia speaking, more than it actually being good, though, haha
coriza@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
He has a number of good movies. I guess because the most popular means visible movies are his slop comides for the whole family his “real” movies kinda goes under the radar.
Uncut gems is a masterpiece but I wanna mention Spaceman because it is fantastic. It is kinda the opposite of Uncut gems, if the first is like fast pace on the edge of you seat that you spend the whole movie holding your breath that shit is about to hit the fan, Spaceman is super slow and introspective, big great nonetheless.

Leo is surprisingly good, but it's geared towards kids so most adults may not have seen it.
FosterMolasses@leminal.space 2 weeks ago
Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston is like what I imagine my parents’ Tom Hanks and Meg Ryans felt like. I will literally watch any cheesy direct-to-streaming B-rate romcom with the two of them in it. They’re so dorky and cute together I love them.
MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I think the only exception is Punch Drunk Love which is coincidentally also the best movie he ever made
SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
It was written and directed by someone else entirely. Adam Sandler just stars in the movie. Anything actually good he’s been in hasn’t been one of his own projects.
ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 2 weeks ago
One of my favorite movie anecdotes is that during some press conference promoting Magnolia someone asked Paul Thomas Anderson what his next movie is going to be and he said “a comedy with Adam Sandler” and everyone laughed. And then he made Punch Drunk Love.
Also, Reign over Me was also pretty good.
AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 2 weeks ago
He’s Woody Allen with grossout gags instead of pseudointellectualism.

Have you looked at Woody Allen flicks? And its chicks?

To be fair he was often involved with the leads along with a long string of 16 and 17 yr olds.

Literally every movie after Billy Madison is a carbon copy that doesn’t live up to the insane purity of Billy Madison.

Not written by Sandler so doesn’t count.
