Surprise winner

Last night, in a drunken double feature of Gladiator and Happy Gilmore, Adam Sandler kicked Russel Crowe's bigger and more muscular ass.

Now, of course Gladiator is awesome. Always has and always will be. That's all there is to it.

But for some reason, last night, it just didnt hit the spot for me. Before i put it in the player, i was originally trying to decide between this and Armageddon which i had just gotten on blu ray. Believe me, it was a tough choice. Usually Bruce Willis is the obvious answer, yet i told myself i wanted something with a little more weight and seriousness, so Gladiator it was.

I will never doubt Bruce Willis again.

Like i said earlier, Gladiator is a great movie. I didnt exactly hate watching it. I mean, how can you not get goosebumps during Maximus' " I will have vengeance" speech. I was just wasn't in the right mood.

I wanted to see shit blow up. I wanted the camera to move constantly. I wanted to see Steve Buscemi ride a nuclear weapon in deep space.

Of course i could have stopped Gladiator once i realized it wasnt what i needed, but i have a serious problem stopping a movie once i start it. I made this choice, and by god, im sticking to it.

When it was over, i knew i wanted something short and stupid, maybe even funny. Happy Gilmore it was.

And damnit, i just couldnt stop laughing. The Barker/Sandler fight is brilliant. The Carl Weathers death scene is ridiculous. The whole movie is just stupid.

Just what i needed.
