Also In Living Color.
Eternal Sunshine is only okay for Carrey, I think. I really thought that the supporting characters really made the movie moreso than Carrey. No doubt it's a good movie though :)
I'm opening myself to ridicule here but I enjoyed the Ace Ventura movies. There! I said it! *hangs head in shame* |

Wasn't it Ace Ventura 1 where it opens with him kicking a package delivery down the street? I still reference that scene from time to time. It's a goodie.

The Ace Ventura movies were absolutely stupid garbage, and I loved every goddamn minute of it. That was Carrey doing what he does best, act like a retarded fuckmonkey on meth.

I read in the elevator that she has a new album out tomorrow...
I liked Ace Ventura a lot, the sequel was worth watching but nowhere near as good. That opening delivery scene guaranteed his movie career.

I also laughed alot at the sliding door scene. "You heard her through this door?"
Ahhhh!
*closes door, silence, opens it*
Ahhhhh!

Ahh, the days when Carrey didn't take himself so seriously and actually had fun. Wish he'd do more nutjob stuff, he's much better at it.

The 'Crying Game' shower sequence still makes me laugh.
There's no shame in that.
I think.

I just cannot begin to imagine what circuit in this fucktards heads is broken. He made over half a mill last year and yet only cleared 7 Grand. She makes 3/4 of a million dollars a fucking month, and the cunt only gives $500 in charitable contributions? SIXTEEN THOUSANDS DOLLARS A MONTH ON CLOTHES? CLOTHES?
Bitch, can you not wash a fucking shirt? In what goddamn world is it acceptable to spend that much money every fucking month on clothes? As well as spending 100 G's on entertainment?
Fuck, give me that life for a month, I'll be set up for years.

People that make quick money never know how to manage it, and that's why they always end up in terrible financial condition after their short-lived career is over.

I hate that asshole Donahue. I'm going to Golden Compass exclusively because he wants people to boycott it.

Let us know if it's any good. I read somewhere (was it on these forums?) that this Donahue guy says the Golden Compass is taken from fantasy novels claiming that God is evil, or something along those lines. I thought the movie was just part of the fantsay flick treadmill until I read that.

Yeah, the Golden Compass is basd on a trilogy with a fairly hardcore atheistic message. Pullman is fairly clear that he wants to do the Jesuit thing of "catching them young", but from an anti-religious stance. Here's Snopes' take on it. |

People should read more books that expand and trumpet the unusual or themes that conflict with personally held thought. It's a GOOD thing, not a book-burning thing. The message/premise/theme makes you uncomfortable? Maybe expand your horizons a bit? Good. That's what reading should do.
Fuckers. It's people like that who get books banned.

So it's a movie based on a fairy tale that denounces another fairy tale.
Are we through the looking glass yet?
I'm going to write a children's novel with a spunky protagonist who defeats the evil omnipotent Jackalope at the end.

Umm.. People like Snopes? Snopes are the master rationalists and debunkers who try to give absolutes of proof and truth in a tawdry, superstitious and relativistic world. In other words, they're the ones you check when you get an email about a 6-year-old midget cancer suffere who just wants everyone inthe world to hop on one leg for a minute before she dies, so that Microsoft will give 7 cents each to th make a wish foundation. Or were you just trying to out-edgy Haemish before he noticed this? |

Are you on crack? I've got nothing against snopes. I'm talking about the second e-mail down on the snopes page, the one with this little gem in it: They are hoping that unsuspecting parents will take their children to See the movie, that they will enjoy the movie and then the children will want the books for Christmas. That's the hook. Pullman says he wants the children to read the books and decide against God and the kingdom of heaven.
If you decide that you do not want to support something like this, I suggest that you boycott the movie and the books. I googled a synopsis of THE GOLDEN COMPASS. As I skimmed it, I couldn't believe that in a children's book part of the story is about castration and female circumcision.

And on just what level does not reading your mind sufficiently to tell that you are complaining only about a subquote in a reference (when your post gave no clue that you were differeniating at all) qualify as being on crack?!? Also, the second email is a million miles from book-burning. It's a fairly accurate description of Pullman's work (I read it myself, found it no less slanted than Lewis but rather less enjoyable), if rather perjoratively phrased, and calls for a boycott, not a ban. You and I may disagree with the author of the email (for different reasons) but he's only trying to inform a very specific constituency of something that is being (wisely!) obfuscated by the marketing men for the film. Let people have information, and let them discuss whether to support particular media. Nothing wrong with that. |

Personally, I liked Lucy's mother. Good decision.
The Rifftrax made the entire experience bearable.
It was better than Glitter.

Which was your favourite bit? I liked the part where cockney garage mechanic Dennis Harper and motel receptionist Meena Chaudri had that intense inter-racial summer romance. Challenging stuff for its time. Although Richardson's paraplegic character was also ground-breaking in the mainstream media.

Not the socially groundbreaking British soap opera Crossroads, nor the epic Ralph Macchio vehicle Crossroads, but the 2002 Britney Spears road movie Crossroads. My attempt to rerail the Britney Spears thread has failed. |

I haven't seen it but it comes highly recommended. It was actually an episode of Supernatural of all things that sparked conversation of this movie. |

Not a bad flick and if my memory serves Macchio actually did his own guitar playing.

Bzzt. Ry Cooder. I believe Steve Vai did his own, though (the devil guitarist). |

I think we should suppress this book, and its movie and continue to watch the Christian Broadcasting Network. |
