    I thought he explained it clearly before?

    He basically makes shitty movies so Hollywood can fund vacations for his friends . The filming locations being the vacation spots.

    Every single character in that movie made me physically angry. Which probably proves your point. It wasn’t anger at Adam, it was anger at the character and his stupid shitty life choices

      I’ve never understood gambling addiction other than as a gambling-version of substance abuse. Uncut Gems brought it into sharp, uncomfortable, focus.

    Funny People is easily one of the best movies he has ever been in. I know reviews tend to be mixed but I think he does a really great job in that one.

    Maybe I just have a bad opinion but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed almost all of his movies. Not every movie needs to be a masterpiece. Sometimes it’s nice to just watch something that’s relatable.

      The classic ones are still good, happy Gilmore, water boy, Billy madison, I mean come on. That’s nostalgic stuff right there.

      I’m probobly more of an art snob than your average person, but I can still consume those movies for sure.

      I’ve never seen uncut gems though. Maybe I’ll give it a shot.

        I’m really nostalgic for Click. Really the only ones I didn’t like were grownups and grownups 2. That’s just because I’m a hipster and can’t enjoy things everyone else likes.
