@GoingHome brain damage and being given creative control have stunted his growth as an artist

Totally agreed. His performance in the movie totally demonstrates why Paul wanted to work with him. Speaks for itself.

@@bokehintheussr5033 not to mention how he's proven over and over again that he is capable of being dramatic roles. Meyerowitz Stories. Uncut Gems. Punch Drunk Love Sandler's a hilarious guy who's always chosen that silly goofy brand of comedy. That's just what he loves doing. He could do other stuff too and he has sometimes done more mainstream comedy movies but yea this is what he loves doing.

I was about to write this same thing... I mean geez

Trying to tow the line between being courteous to your subject but also asking honest, hard-hitting questions is really fucking hard.

@@WindRises100 meh. The Oscar's stop meaning anything after people like the Weinsteins started throwing money around and bribed their way to wins.

@@SmoothCriminal12 Oh yeah, what happened to them two anyway?

should've been nominated??, he should've won it straight up

For what?

@@jqyhlmnp punch-drunk love

Same man.

I dig the 2 button undone!:)

sexiest man alive ugh

Jeka Films that’s all of them.

he looks so hot here gah

He's genuine, yo

I believe at this period it's cocaine

Have you seen The Meyerowitz Stories on Netlifx?

Nile Garcia yes! I did actually get a chance to see it since I commented that. I thought it was a good movie. No punch drunk love, but that’s a ridiculously high standard. Sandler was incredible in it.

@@justyouraveragejoe5534 Look out for Uncut Gems from the Safdie Brothers, he will shine in it. The trailer comes out Monday.

Replicant Roy I cant wait for that

This comment has aged super well. I hope you have seen Uncut Gems. Adam Sandler at his dramatic best.

It’s also one of the only ones that is a genuinely different experience on a second watch when you have the full context of the story and situation. A pretty impressive feat, to me at least.

Yes sir he is

Yo man. That's the first time I saw the dude looking so handsome.

He is just a sandwich

That kind of sucked. Seemed like Rose was far more interested in Sandler than Anderson in this one. The other PTA interviews are much better.

cool hip youtube pic u got there

This is probably #3 for me. Magnolia and TWBB as #1 and 2 respectively. Punch Drunk Love is a singular achievement: Proving that P.T. could provide the same kind of drama, suspense, and comic relief in the space of 90 minutes as he did in 183 minutes.

As a foreigner with no familiarity with him, Charlie Rose seems like a bit of a douche based off this video.

ianucci I agree. I’ve seen quite a few Charlie interviews, but he’s demeaning to Sandler in this one. I didn’t like Charlie here. Sandler keeps composure and remains a great guy. I’d love to work with him.

"I didn't sign up to innovate in this art-form"

I would be too sitting there with Rose and his meandering thoughts

Man still in Barry’s character

Probably a test

I think Sandler might’ve helped give PTA the idea for his next movie there…

Say what you like about Rose, but when someone genuinely brilliant is in the room, he does allow them to speak. His best interviews, in my opinion at least, are the ones with Anderson (he has had him on the show a number of times), Chris Hitchings and Toni Morrison.

Cool opinion no one cares about

Fo' sho'

Judd Apatow is a great filmmaker - like Adam Sandler - so I wouldn't be surprised.

Simpatico

14:13 - the interviewer having just transitioned ,seamfully, from Sandler being self-deprecating to an out of context question about barry Egan[Saddlers character] having phone sex in the movie.

He was the worst long bf me2.

He doesn’t let them speak, I know time crunch but still!

@@GrantLeeEdwards He should have been cancelled years before he was.............for being so freaking bland.

Rigsby 1’its a once in a lifetime treasure

He’s great in Meyorwitz.

Rigsby 1 this reminds me of the way Will Smith's career felt... he made a lot of money being a clown, gets a chance to do something serious Six Degrees of Separation.. gives a foundational performance... I thought he would go on to do much more work in that vein... kept waiting for him to break more of the same ground... instead we got independence day

I agreed when he dramatic films everyone said oh he needs to be funny and blah blah blah and when he is oh he needs to do something different blah blah blah bullshit!

He probably would if he was offered them, there aren't too many filmmakers like PTA out there. He's obviously done Meyerowitz recently and he's in the new Safdie brothers film

Yes! Probably my favorite 2 rom-coms for guys...throw in lost in translation for the trifecta

Yeah it’s a Christmas Carol basically and a strong emotional movie. I think it’s under rated

Saddest movie I’ve seen

I think it's a bit too sparse in terms of tone.

I hear that! Some similarities in their storytelling, too

ya

He’s just naturally this off-putting.

I betcha he woulda played.... The Jew !

Yeah. Quentin wanted Sandler to be the bear jew but he was busy with something else.

He was supposed to be in it as the character Eli Roth plays. Roth is awful so it definitely would've made it a better movie

@@TonyDanza4Lyfe I don’t know why, but for some reason I recall Quentin describing a very different film from IB

It's funny, I find young Anderson even more fascinating now, knowing he was jacked on coke back in those days. At least all that drug fueled bravura made it to the screen. It's also a little comforting knowing he is human and had to 'medicate' himself as he adjusted to fame and acclaim. It's one thing being quietly confident and self assured, but quiet another when those around also acknowledge the fact that you are probably the best at what you do.

Gotta disagree, especially at that time I’d say sandler had a pretty damn good run in his headliners like Billy Madison, happy Gilmore, big daddy, bulletproof. Stuff like that, Anderson is a film lover yes but cmon man how many times can you watch a max ophuls film or citizen cane. Nothing wrong with having junk food every once in awhile to get a break from a bland meal.

And gropes young chicks

His films have a way of doing that. They all linger in my mind after watching them. The fact some of the story relates to PTA's own life (Fiona Apple mentions that he followed her to Hawaii after they met) gives Punch Drunk Love even more relevance now. It's the only PTA film I have not seen more than once. I need to give it another go.

how so

He still hasn't.

*could have been

A legend for making a ton of movie for making tons of shit.

A legend in the Burt Reynolds sense. One good movie and lots and of other crap !

Who are you? Mr. T?

+bullsi20 Reign over me, as a concept, was amazing. The script was lacking at times, and Adam at times lacked depth.

Well PTA is known for getting great performances out of his actors, but yeah he was pretty good in Funny People

@bullsi20 Click? CLICK? *CLICK?*

What? He seems to be happy and enjoying himself

Dabs weren't even around back then bruh!

I loved you in the enemy below!!!

In fairness, you have had 18 or so years to ponder the film. You have had time to dwell on it, gain insight etc, but this show came out when the movie came out, so it's no surprise there is so little in depth talk.

Paul or Adam just cough.

Baxter and he was amazing in it. unfortunately, given his undeniably poor selection of films to act in hell never be comparable to someone like Phoenix, Di Caprio or Bale, even when his best performances might be on par with some of their better ones.

It sounds like you're holding Sandler to a standard he neither cares for nor strives for because, while he IS a capable and deft dramatic actor, he LOVES making silly movies with his friends. P.T and Sandler are very similar in that they value families, especially surrogate families and largely work within those self-generated structures. Look at both their bodies of work; P.T is known for working with a host of the same actors ie. Philip Seymour Hoffman (RIP) Philip Baker Hall, John C. Reilly, Luis Guzman, etc. AS IS Sandler in his Happy Madison productions with Allen Covert, Peter Dante, John Mcloughlin, Nick Swardsen, Rob Schneider. They've both created worlds for themselves and value those worlds as both creative outlets and sources of inspiration and growth. Sandler loves his comedy and a career of working in primarily dramatic pictures obviously doesn't appeal to him. Some of his most revered work are his irreverent comedies and you can tell THAT is his happy place. He picks his dramatic work very selectively and I think it can be said that the MAJORITY of those dramatic performances were lauded, well acted, and almost certainly the manifestation of his consciousness at the time. P.T is the same way; he wrote the bones of Boogie Nights during a hugely transitory time in his life, and later expounded on it after the modest success of his first film Sydney. Magnolia came right after both the death of his father Ernie AND his mentor Robert Ridgely and manifested as a sprawling family drama, and perhaps his most epically-human work. There is a reason these two worked so well together and made something so unique and true; they both value their created worlds and are never so self-conscious as to betray their truths for some 'unerring' body of work. They make what they LOVE, Sandler especially. And to boot, P.T's inspiration for working with Sandler came from a scene from one of those "shitty" movies (Big Daddy) where Sandler informs his on-screen father that he's going to adopt over a phone call.
