I think so far 50 First Dates was the closest because it DID touch on some more serious issues, even if it was a Romance Comedy, but I could see him playing a role much bigger.

This is probably the only Sandler movie I havn't seen yet but I heard it was quite serious in story and acting: Punch Drunk Love. Can anyone confirm this and is it worth seeing? Most of the peer reviews I got was to avoid it.

That reply became an instant retort to "Can you pass me the..." at the Thanksgiving day table in my family. Such lovely family memories :P

There's no option for "no"?Conanfan1

Click option 2 for "no" ;)

Shortly after posting this I've realized this is the post that really should have been created for Adam Sandler nostalgia:

I think Adam is getting a bit to old for the outragous comedy's. I think he needs to mature with his acting to more serious roles. Not saying he should quit comedy, but you dont want to be considered a clown your whole career do you?Bobby_Oz

That's a good point Bobby_Oz and I know he's tried to switch into some serious roles. But being a clownhis whole life might be something he would want. Robin Williams comes to mind as someone who has stuck by his comedy style through the years, though there definitely is a difference between the two. I've just always wondered if any of the "goofy" actors out there have thought of revisiting old roles well into their careers. This was just one I always loved and thought would make for some good nostalgia. :)

The problem with your post is that you're assuming the study of evolution deals with the origins of life. It doesn't. How life began is of secondary concern to those who specifically study evolution. Evolutionary biologists are simply concerned with what happened once life appeared. It is indisputable that once life appeared on this planet, it began to evolve.

That's odd, since I was taught at the very beginning of the theory of evolution is that everything started from a single cell organism. The point of my post was if you can't even prove how this single cell organism started, how can you prove that anything evolved from it and then continued to evolve into everything our beloved evolutionary biologists study now. I'll agree with you that our evolutionsists who are working out in the field studying organisms are in fact proving natural selection and that may be helping evolution theory progress. But if there is even one hole in a theory, particularly at the very start of the theory, how the heck can you prove it in the end by studying an end product you can't even explain how it got there?
