Nostalgia usually doesn't work on me, but bringing back 1990s Jim Carrey to be in the Sonic movies is laser targeted at 10-year-old me and totally works.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

No kidding.

I get excited every time he's on screen.

I'm a 40 yo man.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 3 days ago (1 children)

He did the same thing in Ace Ventura 2.

"i am now a child of light. Your earthly money holds no appeal to me."

"Twenty thousand dollars."

"Re-he-he-eally?!"

Actors say this shit all the time, particularly when they know they're a critical character in the middle of an unfinished successful series. I wish I could just tell my boss I'm retiring then come back a week later just to do the work I was always planning on doing after my boss wrote a check for $10 million.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

tbf being an actor, especially in film, is fucking terrible at times.

I shot a car commercial years ago. Getting up at 4am to get to set for 4.30 to stand in one spot say "¡Vamos!" in heavy makeup repeatedly for 15 hours 3 days in a row in the exposed elements becomes torturous.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You know what's really torturous? Getting up at 4 am to drive 1.5 hours to the city to pour concrete for a multi billion dollar company 10 hours, 5 days a week so you can support your family on $24 an hour.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

all jobs have ups and downs. Considering "reste" periods (unemployment), $24/hr is probably more than I made from that commercial.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You know, if it's that terrible, and construction would be better, you could probably get a job in that.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

All jobs have ups and downs.

A damn shame that he's an anti-vaxxer. A damn shame.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Oh tell me your joking, this profoundly ruins he and every single one of his roles forever for me

[–] [email protected] 28 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think it started around when he married Jenny McCarthy, who has long been a very vocal anti-vaxxer.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 days ago (3 children)

How come everyone named mccarthy is a piece of shit

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Counterpoint: Melissa McCarthy is a goddamn gift to a world which struggles to deserve her.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

John McCarthy gave us the beautiful programming language named Lisp that eventually led to birth of a whole new family of programing languages including modern JavaScript, Clojure, and more. He was also (among a few other significant things) one of the founders of AI.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

He indirectly made JavaScript? I rest my case.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

what jj mccarthy do?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago

he is an anti vaxxer. check the wiki or other comments

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Fuck me I probably wouldn’t have bought any of his movies if I knew that

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think I’ve bought two movies in my life

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

I’m a pirate but I also really love convenience so I have a collection of 225 that I can play just by saying their name to my Apple television

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Not even the worst about him.

Maybe it's about from when he dated Jenny McCarthy (another anti vaxxer but she's down into this rabbit hole of misinformation a lot deeper including herself being prominent in spreading misinformation), I didn't know til recently Jim Carrey was an anti vaxxer, there's some other actors/actress (including Robert De Niro) I never expected to be one, what a shame. (I rarely check out news about celebreties so that might be why)

A list of some from BuzzFeed with sources included in their article, I tried archiving with archive.is and archive.ph but for some reason lately they just stay on infinitely "Loading" at least for me

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

His exes parents blame him for their daughters suicide afaik, I read about it long ago and remember feeling shitty about him after. I'm too lazy/disinterested to read about it again.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I didn't know about her parents blaming him for her suicide so I went to dig a bit deeper searching on it and it's a lot worse than that, out of caution for anyone reading this I advise with a trigger warning of substance abuse and relationship abuse, if you don't have a trigger to these here you can read an article from Independent on it: Wayback Machine archived link | Direct link (not archived)

Everybody comes back when you back a big enough truck full of money into their driveway.

At least Carrey is being picky about what he does. I wanted another season of Kidding, but I understand if he’s done playing dark roles.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I'm still holding out for season two of The Duck Factory.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 4 days ago (1 children)

He also obviously got to write his own lines. He insisted on either that or explicit Robotnik/Stone (true story source go do your own research).

I don't know about you but that seems a good reason to un-retire.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Bro wanted Improv or Yaoi, can’t blame a man for knowing what he wants.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I don't like the movies he's in, but I respect what he's doing - cinematic shitposting.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Not even Eternal Sunshine?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I watched The Cable Guy for the first time a few months ago. It was great actually

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

Except vastly beloved and successful.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago

You're beloved too for being here with us. Thank you for your presence.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 4 days ago

It’s pretty on-brand for Jim Carrey though.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 days ago (4 children)

As much as I loved him in the Sonic movies I really hope they don't bring him back for number four. He's died twice now but that second one was actually a really good death.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

He "dies" in all the games too. It's on brand for the series in my opinion.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I see where your coming from but robotnik is the BBEG. They always survive

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Sonic without robotnik is always going to be the worst.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Woh, spoilers!

Not that I was going to watch any of them, but now that I know he only dies twice and not thrice, I’m definitely not watching them.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

They don't call him The Hedgehog for nothing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Yeah I really can't see how they could bring him back in a way that seems plausible. Really enjoyed Carrey's performance though

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 days ago

I misread the headline as “this section of jimmy carters Wikipedia article” and was so confused

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I wonder if you could go back to him when he got his start on that TV show with the Wayans brothers and told him that he would enter playing Dr. Robotnik in the Sonic movie what he would think.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago

Sonic 1 had just come out for the Genesis and was hugely popular while In Living Color was on TV- and that awful live action Mario Bros movie hadn't come out yet, so he probably would have been all for the idea.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

Something has got to pay for his paint addiction

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago

He seems to enjoy doing sonic. So good for him getting paid to do it
