I feel the exact same way about John Belushi. I idolized him when I was younger. He OD'd when I was in Navy Bootcamp, and didn't know about it until after I finished up. I was crushed. I think you are right about Farley. He probably could have done an admirable job with more serious material. A little ditty dedicated to him.

THE DUKE Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I think Billy Madison has the better highlights, but Tommy Boy is more consistently funny throughout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get behind that (IE the infamous no points rant). The thing about Billy Madison for me as I grew up I also grew to dislike the protagonist.

Master of Suspense Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Neither movie is great but I prefer Tommy Boy. Not a big Sandler fan at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean seriously....(at least I don't remember it being mentioned in the movie.... It's been a while since I've seen it) Yeah the whole premise of the movie is saving the auto parts factory because it's the heart of the town and the town will go down under without it, yet Sandusky is home to one of the world's biggest theme parks. I don't get why they didn't set this in literally any other small town in America. Laziness and/or incompetence on the filmmaker's part, I guess.

I don't get why they didn't set this in literally any other small town in America. Laziness and/or incompetence on the filmmaker's part, I guess. Well Master, they were somewhat on point with that idea. Sandusky was a huge industrial town, with iron works, Scott Paper, the American Crayon Co. which made all of the "Prang" products. Also a good sized Chrysler plant (gone), Ford plant (sold off to a subsidiary, employs about 1/3rd the previous work force) GM bearing plant that at one time employed thousands (closed about a year ago). From an economic standpoint, we have been decimated. The lake, Cedar Point and a few other tourist areas are much of our "life blood." NASA has a significant facility just outside of town, and there has always been rumblings about expansion there. If that happened, it would be a technological boom for the area. As it sits right now, manufacturing has been decimated here. For the record, I've lived in Sandusky my entire life (with the exception of my four years in the Navy).

Forge Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 I think Happy Gilmore > Tommy boy > Billy Madison. Random sidenote, Billy Madison was the first movie I ever saw multiple times in the theater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
