Adam Sandler is "sort of washed-up"?

Okay, sure, whatever you say, Oracle of Relevance.

@Balsa Wood: Yeah, I don't get that. I mean, I haven't even bothered with one of his movies since "Big Daddy" but it seems like he still makes money. Whereas Jennifer Aniston has *never* been a successful film actress.

@Balsa Wood: @ShawnP: In entertainment circles Sandler is sort of washed up but not that bad. I was at a dinner party and it was argued that Sandler only did 'Funny People' because he wanted to get back some of the fame in the comedy sector he lost to Seth Rogen. Sandler never capitalized how good of an actor he can be after 'Punch Drunk Love' so there's a slight "it could have been so good!" type of vibe that come out of him.

Jenifer Aniston is loved but she is seen as the kiss of death to some movies so she tends to take non stop Rom Coms. Katherine Heigl is moving into her market and there are rumors of Aniston returning to TV when a good pilot comes up.

@fatmonalisa: Whether or not your dinner party intel's reliable, I happen to think he was very good in Funny People. And I think Funny People was sorely underrated.

Actors do get older...which, I guess, in bloggese, is "washed up."

In my opinion, Katherine Heigl's more pathetic than either of them.

@Balsa Wood: Yeah I thought Funny People was pretty good. It wasn't a total gross out comedy or some silly OMG HOT GIRL! BONERZ! type comedy that has been dominating lately. America seems to love that shit though. We are a nation of idiots.

@hilikusopus: Entertainment Industry folks and ex industry hacks we are. We're all terrible with drinking problems and run our mouths off about actors and how fucking annoying they are.
