I watched the 10:30 syndicated version of King of Queens last night. It was the episode where Kevin James’s character goes to his family reunion and meets up with his HS buddy, played by Adam Sandler. The sub-plot of the episode had two of the more minor characters in some convoluted charade that boiled down to “this person thinks I’m gay. ha ha ha” Did they just quit after that? Jeez. ---

Altogether now (apologies if I left anybody out)! I will not watch it on a ferry, I will not watch it while being wary, I will not watch _I Now Pronounce you Chuck and Larry_. I will not watch it 'cause my chest is hairy, I will not watch it with Commodore Perry, I surely will not watch _I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry_. I will not watch when robed in terry, I will not watch with Richard Scarey, I will not watch you, Chuck and Larry. I will not watch though I’m a fairy. I won’t for all the cash I could carry. I simply will not watch _Chuck & Larry_. I will not watch it eating berries I will not watch it with Buckcherry I will not watch it on the prairie. I will not watch you, _Chuck and Larry_! Bryan Ekers is Jewish Adam Sandler, too Put them together And Bryan Ekers will kill you! I will not after quaffing lots of sherry, I will not even with Dave Barry, I must not, cannot watch _Chuck and Larry_! That next to last stanza seemed a little strange, but it\* was\* a poem in the thread. ---

I would rather sell Glengarry or nursemaid a dromedary or drink my 12th bloody mary than watch a frame of _Chuck & Larry_! ---

Not even for that one scene where he lets Kevin James pop his anal cherry would I see Sandler in _Chuck and Larry_ ---

I won’t resort to naming names Just burn the film in hottest flames Destroy it all, frames upon frames Let Hollywood - nay, the world! - forget Sandler and James. ---

[QUOTE=Billdo] But more significantly, the movie’s premise is that gay rights are not something necessary to give dignity and equality to deserving people, but rather they are a cheap scheme that can be exploited by the undeserving to put something over on the authorities. [/QUOTE] Why can’t they be both? 🙂 ---

Well, if we needed any more confirmation that Chuck and Larry is a truckful of suck, Adam Sandler just spent like 8 minutes on the Daily Show talking about the goatee he’s wearing for his new movie, and mentioned C&L for about 2 seconds at the end. _He_ doesn’t even want to discuss it. ---

Saw it tonight. Avoid at all costs. Aside from the homophobia it’s also racist and sexist and not in a funny way. As an aside, I’m against the death penalty and I’m not one of those people who ever says “I’m against the death penalty but I’ll make an exception for [insert scumbag here],” but Rob Schneider needs to die. For the sake of all humanity, Rob Schneider needs to die. ---

[QUOTE=Diogenes the Cynic] Saw it tonight. [/QUOTE] Science bless you, soldier. [QUOTE=Diogenes the Cynic] For the sake of all humanity, Rob Schneider needs to die. [/QUOTE] I really did a double-take when I saw his “Asian” character in the movie trailer. “Surely I did not just see that,” I said to myself. Or if I did, surely, _surely_ there must be something more to it than Rob Schneider doing a severely ridiculous, way-outdated Asian stereotype shtick. It has to be an ironic parody of shit like Mickey Rooney’s _Breakfast at Tiffany’s_ character, right? No? (Judging from the capital nature of this offense, I’m guessing not.) ---

The commercials for this stupid flick Leave me feeling very wary. If it were a police lineup, could you pick Which one is Chuck? Which one is Larry?
