Why was he never good in anything again? Was it due to PTA and happenstance, or that he didn't care to try since his formula movies made him so much money?

Watch them again.
PDL basically serves as a reminder that while PTA often surrounds himself with talented actors, it's his direction that puts them above and beyond what they could achieve otherwise.
His acting wasn't particularly better in this than his other movies. The movie itself was just better. I'd say Funny People is his best acting, but it's all pretty much a wash.
50 First Dates is worth watching
sad he's dead

I saw water boy yesterday and billy madison and big daddy recently and they are stillfun
Spanglish is the only other movie that comes even close, and it's still magnitudes below PDL.

that's a great comfy film

yeah, i was really surprised by how i enjoyed it
also; there's that other one where he plays the relative of soemone who died in 911, so he plays Shadow of the Colossus a lot - but i can't rememeber the name right now

I saw happy gilmore recently when I was working at a golf course and it made melaugh

Did you even see Funny People? It's him admitting that he will continue phoning it in while passing on the popular young comedian role to Weed Rogan.
Reign Over Me is fucking great
