[@GiantSandles]

I find some of these interviews with Paul and Adam where Paul's basically asked "why would you wanna make a movie with *him*?!" while Adam's sat right there kinda weird. I understand the question but it still seems really rude

[@kitpalmer1583]

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

[@bokehintheussr5033]

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

[@wren4077]

@@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.

That moment when Charlie Rose won't shut the hell up and let them talk (PS Thank you for uploading this)

[@ManufacturingIntellect]

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.

[@andrewbudiman1310]

cool hip youtube pic u got there

[@1qwasz12]

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.

[@ianucci]

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

[@SupernovaFilms23]

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.

Adam Sandler - Humble Genius

[@saraiguevara2431]

in my opinion pta had Barry's character figured out and he knew adam sandler is practically the same so he just said i want him in my movie and it turned out to be imo his best movie

Paul and Adam.. nice job.. thank you

[@165Dash]

Great movie... but I had to laugh thinking of all the people who went to it thinking they’d be seeing an “Adam Sandler movie”. ....also...listening to all these PT Anderson interviews following his earlier movies it’s amazing to hear virtually no mention of Philip Seymour Hoffman who provided such phenomenal supporting performances behind the big name stars of the time.

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.

What I just loved in Adam Sandler's PDL performance was that he would do the Sandler schtick in it right up to the punch line, and then--no punch line. Omitted. Again and again. This simple change shifted what he was able to convey from laughter to heartbreak. It still breaks my heart for his character when I watch this performance.

[@cicolasnage5684]

Maybe I’m biased, maybe I’m just easy to please but damn Anderson has never made a weak film. PDL being my absolute favorite, a rom com as only Anderson can do. Such a beautiful film the colors, the lense flairs the paintings by Jeremy Blake, just an exuberant and lovely film

[@lucashoudini3532]

I really appreciate PTA's respect towards Adam's filmmaking, although it's full of shit, obviously. He gets something great out of Adam's films, and incorporate to his own.

[@cicolasnage5684]

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.

[@cactaceous]

PTA in his cocaine days. Sweating, jaw everywhere, finger twiddling...

[@davidlean1060]

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.

[@tfpp1]

I'm also a fan of Sandler's movie "Click" with Kate Beckensale. It has comical moments, but I wouldn't call it a comedy exactly.

[@NicolasTylerDoyle]

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

[@CarRamRod1992]

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.

"Get some of that Sandler money!" Kinda funny that Punch Drunk made the least money out of all PTA's films (after Hard Eight) and the least out of all Sandler's movies. LOL. It's a great movie nevertheless, and it proved Sandler could be taken seriously in a dramatic role, although he seemed to prefer sticking with his forte after Punch, until another great drama in Uncut Gems.

[@ylowknfe]

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.

[@ACK365]

I enjoyed Rose's interview but he would often talk too much as if people wanted to hear his thoughts. We are there to hear your guests - no cares about what you have to say. Just ask the right questions. Also Rose would come across as trying to be one of the guys, like he was friends with his guests. Which he was not. Finally - It would have been nice here if he stopped fawning over Sandler and let the great PTA speak more. Unbalanced intervoew.

[@Siobhan94404]

My God...Charlie Rose is irritating and deliberately keeps his guests off balance....strange man!
