Media Matters

* Netflix has been on a roll, as we know. The streaming colossus struck it big with House of Cards and Kevin Spacey for television. Now it’s going after the movie business. To that end, it has signed a four-film deal with Adam Sandler.

Even if you thought House of Cards was overrated and pretentious in its Shakespearean asides, it was topical, it was well-scripted and it had Spacey.

Sandler movies have, well, Sandler and are routinely hyped for the Razzies. Something about being tacky and plot-challenged. But there’s a proven market, to be sure.

But, still, shouldn’t Netflix be able to do better than The Water Boy and Happy Gilmore sequels?

* Look who’s back in the news: Nick (Bollea) Hogan. Thanks.
