Adam Sandler: The $40 million man

Adam Sandler's "Click" led the national box office estimates for the weekend. Since 1997, Sandler has managed to open around $40 million in every movie his starred in except the abominable "Little Nicky."

Though "Waist Deep," which stars Tyrese Gibson, was well behind the No. 1 movie with just over $9 million, it exceeded the target of distributor Focus Films and was a huge hit in the 1,000-plus theaters it opened in with African-American moviegoers.

"Cars" stayed at No. 2 but fell off 33 percent over last week, yet it's on pace to make $200.

All this according to Boxofficemojo.com. Read more about the weekend showings here.

I'd rather read 10 Bradley Gitz columns than watch one Adam Sandler movie. Yetch.

Adam Sandler is a no-talent hack. He's never had talent, he's never been funny. He does three variations of the same character --- always! It's boring, predictable and frankly the older he gets the more horrid it is to watch. A decade ago, it was passable. Nowadays, its pathetic.

The old Safeway store at the corner of 12th and Cedar Streets doesn't look like much these days - a peeling blue hulk of a building, marooned between the Willie Hinton Community Resource Center and the church on the next corner. /more/

As Judge Wendell Griffen says, courage is not a vice (though critics seem to fault him for having it) but a virtue. /more/
