Ask the Film Buff!
by Tyler Hillman
It's no secret to longtime Lowbrow readers that we are big Adam Sandler fans.
Now, we are proud to introduce a new feature, "Ask the Film Buff!," in which we invite professional
film critics to sing the comic actor's praises.
We couldn't be happier to inaugurate the segment with commentary by Tyler Hillman,
eminent cinema and culture columnist for the Charlottesville Courier-Tribune.
When I first received the call from Low Brow Journal offering $14 and a tuna fish sandwich
to laud the canon of Adam Sandler, I was admittedly flattered by the publication's interest and generosity.
Then, I took it upon myself to screen Mr. Sandler's work.
It is a sophomoric and generally unpleasant body, devoid of the grace displayed by, say, Ed Wood. Or Alan Smithee.
Though I hardly consider myself a humorless filmgoer -- does life provide any greater joy than watching W.C. Fields
spar with Mae West? -- neither my love for populist cinema nor tuna fish can justify condoning such witless buffoonery.
Also, I hate Jews. --Tyler Hillman
Editor's note: This will be the final installment of "Ask the Film Buff!"
