In a year with Chasing Chasing Amy, and one filmmaker exploring what that problematic film meant to them, I jumped straight into this film that doesn’t hold up unless you are super transphobic and homophobic. When I was a kid and this film came out, Jim Carrey’s energy was perfect for me. There are still jokes in this film that are objectively funny. The sliding glass door sequence is funny.But, the film is mired with this twist from hell where Sean Young … Continue reading Ace Ventura: Pet Detective- 30th Anniversary

Just caught this article (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/24/ryan-gosling-hugh-jackman-drive_n_3328690.html?icid=maing-grid7|maing7|dl13|sec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D318270)  and felt like relaying that info here. Did you know that… Jim Carrey was originally considered for Pirates of the Caribbean, but it would have conflicted with Bruce Almighty. Hugh Jackman was originally supposed to be the Driver in Drive.
