Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
I am not against Jim Carey in general. Dude has made me laugh on more than one occasion. But Dumb and Dumber is the most aptly titled movie of all time.
What you think "makes sense" has nothing to do with reality. It just has to do with your life experience. And your life experience may only be a small smidgen of reality. Possibly even a distorted account of reality at that. So what this means is that, beginning in the 20th century as our means of decoding nature became more and more powerful, we started realizing our common sense is no longer a tool to pass judgment on whether or not a scientific theory is correct. - Neil Degrasse Tyson
For example, Jim Carey took a series of books that completely sucked in every way and turned them into a decent movie (A Series of Unfortunate Events).

Have any of you read those Series of Unfortunate events books? Utter crap. The movie is maybe a 7/10 but given the source materiel they were starting with a -1000. Pretty damn impressive.

They were cool when I was 9. I have all 13 of them up on my shelf as a nice piece of nostalgia.
Speaking of Shakespeare, anyone with Netflix should check out In Search of Shakespeare. It's in their streaming dohickey so you can watch it on your PC or 360.

I read the first one because it was the fad in middle school or something. I never read another one. The book uses reverse psychology to cover for lacking everything. "You want to read on? Well it gets a little sad and scary, no one would really want to read on. Oh so you do want to read on? Well I warned you." I don't know why anyone would make a movie out of it.
After that I began just reading authors I heard are great "according to adults". The funny thing is when I started reading Slaughterhouse-5 a little early. I was just like o_O for much of the book. I got the real humor a couple years later.

Dude, never re-read them. I was in college when the first one came out but didn't read em until a couple years back.
Terrible. Especially compared with other books aimed at the same audience. Even Harry Potter is a masterpiece of technical skill compared to those books.

Oh, I know. They were awful (A one year old fighting a guy with a sword with it's fucking tooth?) but really, I try not to watch old cartoons either for the same reason.
Except for Spongebob. Spongebob is fucking awesome.

ouch, ow. Ow. Oh my god. Ow.
Not only did I hate Spongebob but when I worked at an amusement park we had this spongebob ride and I heard the theme song so much it came into my dreams.
It's not the content that makes them terrible. Nor the intended audience.
Harry Potter, The Wee Free Men, The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents, hell even the Prydain books are all written for that age.
Lemony Snicket just has a real knack for combining a complete lack of writing ability with absolutely overwhelming condescension towards his audience.

Limp Moose, regale us with stories of you drinking!
for America!
I was in a hookah bar on valentines day and ran into 3 dudes who were submarine sailors stationed in kings bay. They told me this story.
On submarines there are huge sea water condensers for cooling the reactors. They get very very cold. ESPECIALLY when the submarine is chilling out under the north pole ice. So on their boat they had a game where they would stick their dick on the freezing cold metal and who ever could keep it on longest wins.
I was dumbfounded that someone would try this. But apparently the record was like 4 minutes and the dude had to go to sick bay for freezer burn on his dick.
Some weird shit goes down on submarines. They are locked away from the sun and women for long periods of time.
Something about today brought out the crazy people.
From the guy that couldn't finish a sentence without uttering the words "Do you know what I mean? Yeah? Right?" to the woman plotting a subterfuge that wouldn't fool a mildly concussed five year old.

The soundtrack to the audiobooks is fucking sweet.
its worse when you have to poop but you are on the phone with a girl you like.
SO you are like OH MAN HAVE TO POOP dont want to poop in front of her BUT SHES NOT EVEN HERE! and then you worry if it will be so loud she hears it over the phone.
But then its nice and silent and your all good. And on instinct you flush and then the jig is up!

And those detractors are always wrong.
now not so much.
23 was kinda just weird....
bonafide hustler making my name.
I love Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and the Truman Show. I think i actually like Carrey better when he's not trying to be funny.
the best Jim Carrey flick ever.
edit: BEAT
Drunks Against Mad Mothers
True and true, but then there's 23.

All I wanna do is *gun noises*
and *cash register*
and take your money
Reminds me of Medo
Of course this is the same year, SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE, oh god, won best picture.
edit: anyway. I think that broke his spirit.
Was that just a really lean year or what?
Which was a good movie and Tom Hanks was nominated for best actor.
Roberto Benini (sp) won for that crappy sappy Italian movie.
Hanks would've been a better choice but Hanks in Private Ryan wasn't as good as Carey in Truman Show
I love Man On The Moon, as well.
I despise Truman Show now though because I've had to watch it nine times in the past year for English class.

What? Seriously? That movie was awful. Awful and uncomfortably weird. I really hate it when terrible movies somehow become classics.

Horrible horrible nightmares at that.

Mostly because Stephin Merritt is fucking sweet.

That's annoying.
edit: I am getting way too comfortable around you people.
Try saying something like "rape isn't physically painful"
That should take care of that.
