Always hated this movie.
Anybody else get the impression it was made by some rich connected(the screenwriter, not Scorcese) insider who laughs at people who are trying to make it in H-wood?
I mean hell look at Conan O'Brien -- DeNiro's character is funnier than that idiot.
Is this movie an example of insiders laughing at those who dream of making it big?

Worst movie ever made
LOL sure as if "work" has anything to do with success in Hollywood....has FAR MORE to do with WHO YOU KNOW rather than what you know or what you do....
Quentin Tarantino knew somebody who knew somebody who knew Harvey Keitel....that's why he's where hes at now....just to give a random example....
Again -- this movie was about rich cynical a**holes who don't realize that H-wood is often called "the town built on crushed dreams" because so many sad desperate people go out there and end up getting killed or never achieving the stardom they seek...its largely nonsense....
Rupert and the crazy woman were just 2 random examples of the many people trying to muscle their way into an industry largely controlled by a few connected producers -- many of whom, though not all and probably not most -- are Jewish....
Nothing scares rich people more those who dare have the balls to muscle in on their rackets.....

"Such hideously untalented people as Adam Sandler".
It doesn't really stand to reason that a "hideously untalented" actor could give a performance as outstanding as Sandler did in Punch Drunk Love - he's not only funny, but also gets some genuine poignancy out of his sad sack character. Granted, that's my ONLY reference point in regards to Sandler, but nevertheless it seems to suggest there's something in there, even if it doesn't otherwise show. Maybe it would if he worked more with talented filmmakers who know their way around actors, idk.

Wow. A couple of colossal morons on here. The OP and Edward D. V. Take your hate spewing somewhere else. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, gives a fuggin what you "hate". Grow up and go get your dirty diapers changed you childish crybabies.
shareYou are missing the point of the movie - about someone who goes to extreme lengths to try and make it in show-biz. Remember that this is one of the hardest fields to make a living in. Movies about some random unknown making a swift, relatively painless rise to the top have been done often in the past. This movie deserves props for showing the struggles that many show-biz wanna-bes endure to try and make it.
shareI don't care how Quentin Tarantino got his start but I like his work. Adam Sandler had a few hits but a lot more misses. Conan O'Brien wrote some classic "Simpsons" so he is off the table.
