The International Trailer for Sandler's JACK & JILL will strain your ability to love ELO to the breaking point!

Published at:  Aug 24, 2011 4:37:07 PM CDT

Hey folks, Harry here...   Remember A CLOCKWORK ORANGE.   You know that chair they strapped Alex in, the horrible imagery they put before his unblinking eyes?   But how the particularly painful part was the use of Ludwig aurally.   Here - with JACK & JILL - the most unbelievably bad idea in recent film history - a trailer that I can't beieve exists, though it isn't even the first time.   Right now - ELO makes me sick.   I love ELO.   But whoring out to this shit?  Disco is Dead.   Adam Sandler finally killed it.  Melodramatic?  I don't think so.   In particular.  Al Pacino.   Last night I watched the beautiful Blu-Ray for SCARFACE - and this used to be one of our greatest actors.  Now he wants to fuck Adam Sandler in a dress.   The affront to my senses is...  too much to bare alone, so I share this apocalypse with you.   Don't hate me.   I just need to confirm that what I saw was real - and not a fevered nightmare.  Watch if you dare...

    by fullrotor

    Yeah, this is a shit trailer for what definitely looks like a shit movie. Which, yes, happens to have an ELO song as the background for the second 50 seconds of its sub-two-minute running time. Which, if you have any sense at all, you will watch ONCE, if that. THAT'S really what jumps out at you? You can't listen to ELO now after that 50 seconds? Really? C'mon.

    I'm sorry. This is ridiculous. Sandler is not a total freaking moron. If anyone knows real comedy, it's someone like Sandler. He knows what's up. There's no way he's proud of that crap.

Every lame cliché under the sun, and it doesn't even look like it was shot well, with all that standing directly left and right of each other shit! Fuck, the Matrix sequels showed more skill in that sort of thing and it was about 10 years ago.

    he'd parodied in his own films.
    Never understood what made him so popular, but I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for a while. So far as I can tell, he adopts a stupid voice and half-bothers to ad-lib shit. Thought he'd strike for semi-respectability after Punchdrunk. Almost respect him for going so far toward Idiocracy.

    Why Whine About ELO In This Shitty Trailer?

    by partyslammer

    The song (Don't Bring Me Down) was recorded way back in 1979 for the album "Discovery" which most ELO fans regard as the big turning point downwards in the band (actually leader Jeff Lynne who fronted and wrote all the music much like Trent Reznor did with Nine Inch Nails). Jeff Lynne has basically been retired for decades except as a occasional producer and he probably doesn't give a shit who he licenses his old songs to anymore as long as he collects a few bucks.

    Pacino is the guy who comes off looking like a desperate stooge in this trailer. Adam Sandler just looks (and acts) as terrible and pathetically unfunny as he always has so it's not like any shock there.

    btw, I love that Sandler has people play themselves. To this day, I still say, whenever some doesn't get it, "See, Billy Idol gets it" XD

    by angry_charlie

    I've learned to enjoy the bad movies sometimes. This is so ridiculous it may be funny, like it's a parody of itself. However, something like Mr. Popper's Penguins looked like shit. It tried to be something it wasn't - serious. Jack & Jill can't exist without knowing what it is - just like Arnie and Devito in Twins. By all account, that idea doesn't work either - UNLESS, it knows it doesn't work. Jack & Jill won't be awful - if you know how to enjoy the right parts of it, that is.

    by thecheesegrommit

    One geek bashes something and it spreads to other geeks at an alarming rate. Only highly resistant Geeks, those with the independent strain of the geek gene are safe to make up their own minds.

    That said I did roll my eyes when "Jill" turned around for the big reveal but I laughed at quite a few moments.

    And Harry, Pacino can't just play the same ol' characters forever. Some actors like to try new things and have some fun. If you didn't laugh at the self referential Academy award joke then I would make the argument that you sir have no funny bone. Good day to you.

    It will most likely just have its moments...but Adam Sandler is a pretty funny guy. I like pretty much all of his movies...with a few exceptions. This one looks like a middle of the road...but we will see. More than likely a rental.

    As long as you pay the price. Same goes for Beatles, Bob Dylan, Muse, you name it.

    The only remarkable thing regarding ELO is trailers is that Hollywood seems to think they only made this song and Mr. Blue Sky.

    Adam Sandler is transforming cinema...

    by trancer

    Until now, the revenue model has been that the audience pays to see a movie. This is clearly the beginning of a new approach, where the audience is paid to sit through a movie. The only problem is that the Federal Reserve couldn't print enough money to get more than a few thousand people to sit through this fucking travesty. This may be the first movie in history to have a negative box-office. Heath Ledger dies of an accidental prescription drug overdose, and this talentless fuck is still wasting oxygen? Could somebody please pass this assmop a bucket of speedballs?

    It's a harmless family comedy, not aimed at the so called writers (who don't know the difference between bear and bare) who contribute to this site.

    I think the main problem is that this site is so devoid of any actual news it can break, because it's competitors left it in their dust a long time ago, that they'll put any old shit up just to try and generate some talk back traffic/page impressions/ad revenue.

    Seriously guys, take a look at this site. It may have looked good back a decade ago but jeez. You can't even embed video properly without spilling over columns, no social network compatibilty other than a broken facebook login. But even a makeover isn't going to change the fact that your content is poor. News that most have read elsewhere and a few film reviews here and there.

    Not too bad...

    by vicmackey1268

    How many of Sandler's stuff actually has ever looked good...really....no way did I EVER think that the previews for 90% of his movies looked like they'd be remotely funny...

    Billy Madison--funny for its time but I hate watching it now, mostly cuz im not a stoner or loser or 12 anymore

    Happy Gilmore---ok, still funny, but when it came out I didn't really think the previews looked good

    fast forward to Waterboy--horrible looking, just dumb, but not thaaaat bad of a movie

    Big Daddy---actually probably my favorite trailer for any of his films, mostly cuz there were bigger life lessons in it.

    EVERYTHING SINCE---ya, you get the idea.

    Bottom line, of course the movie looks like crap, but ELO was barely in the trailer and if Al Pacino had been in decent stuff recently I'd feel bad for him, but nope, he makes the same sh*t as DeNiro now so really, seeing him in this doesn't surprise me at all...here's hoping Killer Elite is ok so I can at least get the glimmer that one of these guys is still sane.

    A) The asshole with anger issues who changes by the end of the movie

    B) The lovable moron that gets the girl at the end of the movie.

    I'm (probably) older than a lot of you, and Sandler's boy-in-a-man's-body schtick was a dull and unimaginative rip-off of Pee-Wee from the start.

    Sandler is a generational act, like "Napolean Dynamite" or Jerry Lewis. You laugh at them for a few years, and then you grow up and realize that they were shit all along.
