Adam Sandler Whispers Sweet Nothings In Your Bluetooth Headset
I'm still a little undecided as to whether or not I'll be seeing Adam Sandler's You Don't Mess with the Zohan, but the movie is using a clever, tech-oriented marketing ploy that's definitely gotten me interested. Twenty-five Regal Entertainment theatre lobbies will feature a decorated salon chair that when sat in (while wearing a Bluetooth headset) will beam 6 voicetones to the user's ear. We're not sure exactly what Adam Sandler's new character sounds like, but we're betting if you mix the characters of Adam Sandler Billy Madison, Adam Sandler Little Nicky, and Adam Sandler The Waterboy, you'll have a pretty close approximation.

Watch the trailer - he's got a quasi middle-eastern accent. Rubbish.
Wow, let me guess. A premise entirely derivative of Shampoo and Zoolander, and a title thats a bald-faced ripoff of a famous The Big Lebowski line. Adam Sandler just gets more and more original!

Yeah you'd probably have to put your headset into pairing mode to get it to work....
People visibly putting their headsets into pairing mode in a public space? Nah, nobody will think of a way to turn that into a bad situation....

I guess i'm the weird one that likes Adam Sandler flicks. Reign over me, Click, 50 first dates were all really good in my book. I'm looking forward to this movie.

@oo0cyst0oo: I was going to say the same thing. Still sounds funny though. How is it any different than Opera Man?
Rain-man
Ah yes, what is the good word?

@Stacky Botrus: you see, i do have more important things to do like watch all of the other movies that have a slight chance of interesting me (there's not enough hours in the day). OR, nothing at all. if i want to waste my time, i can do it for free. every dollars a vote and i don't vote for this movie.

Not looking forward to this movie....trailer does not impress. They're trying too hard to be both a comedy and a serious movie at the same time. Doesn't seem like it will work.

Anyone who decides whether or not to see a movie based on personal preference is a bonehead. You just go - thats all.
Stop acting like you are an important member of society and have more important things to do, like wait for 3G iPhone ads! Sonofabitch!

When I saw the trailer for this, all I could think of was the south park AWESOME-O episode.

@anti-hello-kitty: Will Farrell's done some good stuff. I love Stranger than Fiction, and Anchorman is killer, though Steve Carell is a funny add-on.
The Wayan's Bros. should be tossed into a tub of lye for thinking that they can rip off a bugs bunny cartoon for Little Man and try to convince people that their bullshit is funny.

@nXt: As long as you aren't currently using your headset it's not all that difficult to activate it. Google "car whisperer"

@vertigo: I think he looks like Chuck Norris.

@oo0cyst0oo: Ugh i hated talledega nights, loved anchorman though and i think stepbrothers is gonna be good. Anything adam sandler is gonna suck. After i saw the trailer i was somewhat interested until he kicks the guy with his feet, and then it was over for me.

I'll be the idiot who forgets to enable bluetooth on the headset and wonder why it doesn't work.

Wait so, Your BT Headset is PAIRED to your Phone, but you just sit in this chair and this thing talks to you?!!
IT HACKS YOUR BT HEADSET?!?!??!?!?

@oo0cyst0oo: oh! and that movie where the lady's writing his life. real good.
oo0cyst0oo
@anti-hello-kitty: exactly.
>BUT< I'd have to say that Will Ferrell (the one I hate most,) has made some headway. Talledega Nights and 25% of Anchorman are GOLD.

@vertigo: maybe a lil sean penn too

Probably another lame movie. What's up with all these lame comedy groups making stupid movies: Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Will Farrell, Adam Sandler, Wayans bros., etc. ?
anti-hello-kitty
Is it me or does he look like Al Pacino in the picture?
vertigo
This sounds like a pretty lame scheme if you ask me. Just seems like a waste, and it wont convince me to see adam sandler. IDK if i'll see his movie.

I think Adam Sandler has worn himself out. Although the chair sounds somewhat interesting, the sounds of his voice is a bit like nails on chalk board.
shamoononon
and yes i commented on an ad. so what?

It is supposed to be Israeli, but just sounds like generic middle-east convenience store Adam Sandler.
