Yep, they don't even care about hiding it anymore. The Russian concept of vranyo has come to America where the liars know we know they are lying but expect us to nod our heads in agreement anyway.
How is it a judgment on his whole life?
It's more that Billy Madison was the first to put down the Sandler formula of lovable idiot faces challenge that attracts a beautiful woman way out of his league. It's more that basically every comedy film he's made since then has followed that same formula, which just makes them highly derivative of the stellar original.
Also, it's notable that Billy Madison featured Chris Farley, and the loss of Chris Farley to future Sandler films was honestly a huge blow. He could have potentially been in Happy Gilmore but wasn't, and by the time Sandler was making The Wedding Singer Farley had passed.
I am fairly sure it was also the only one that featured Norm MacDonald as well (but I'm not 100% sure on that, didn't follow the more recent ones as closely).
Steve Buscemi, on the other hand, has been a staple in Sandler film casts since the beginning, and his role on Billy Madison was one of the best.
So it's really more that Billy Madison built the formula, had the best cast overall, and was just lightning in a bottle that it felt like he spent a career trying to recreate the exact conditions that made Billy Madison so good.
EDIT: One final piece of why Billy Madison works where other Sandler films don't work as well (except maybe The Water Boy): Billy Madison's real villain isn't Eric Gordon, who wants to stop Billy so Eric can take over the company. The real villain is Madison's own loser past, where he has consistently shown himself to be a contemptuous, boorish fool. His own past behavior is why nobody has faith that he will succeed, and he has to overcome people's prior expectations of him to succeed. Some of the only people who have faith in him are the young children that he befriended while he was in elementary school. Happy on the other hand has that epic swing and all he has to do is practice the rest of golf. Shooter McGavin is also a more sympathetic villain because he's an actual professional being showed up by this jerk amateur who acts like he's king shit because he can hit long drives. Billy Madison just works better thematically, overall, because Billy is actually, genuinely awful at everything and has to start at the absolute bottom where Happy comes in already halfway good by pure chance.

Right, sorry, wasn't trying to imply that them having fun was a bad thing or saying they shouldn't have fun... It's just more like... Who wouldn't have fun doing that??
More likely that this will just kill the x86 market and ARM will fully take over because of those chips' reduced power consumption in comparison.
I mean... Do you really think they care? The optics are dogshit for anyone with a brain but they keep making it worse anyway. I have zero doubts that they care about making a pattern or people noticing a pattern. They haven't cared one iota for how stupidly and nakedly transparent anything else they have done is.
That sounds like my headcanon sequel to Sneakers where Bishop (Robert Redford) uses his newfound anonymity to start over in a small town where he accidentally ends up the high school basketball coach to a bunch of skinny nerds. They make it to the state championships through a combination of phone phreaking and social engineering.
Always wear non-descript long-sleeve black shirts. Loose fitting and easily moved in black pants. Non-descript black face-mask. Non-descript black safety sunglasses. Non-descript black gloves. Make sure tattoos or other identifying marks are covered. Never take off your mask. If you can, the best option is to thrift these options and buy them with cash.
