    Default Jim Carey...I'm such a dork!

    OKay, I have this undeniable crush on Jom Carey. I think he's cute as a button and any guy that can make me laugh has a good head start!

    So last night I saw he's doing a thriller?! And his hair is longer, and he's been working out, and OMG...... *drool*.....am I alone here? Or do any of you other ladies think this goofball is totally adorable?

    Yeah, he's hot! He's also a pain in the ass. He's very much a method actor, so if he's playing an asshole, he becomes one. When he was playing Andy Kaufman, he spit in Jerry Lawler's face (after Jerry introduced himself and said he was a big fan). He also picked some really obnoxious music and put it on full blast in the makeup trailer, and stationed a P.A. there to make sure nobody turned it off once he was gone, just so he could irritate the shit out of everybody when he wasn't there.

    OTOH, a friend of mine worked on another movie where he was playing a nice guy - I think it was Eternal Sunshine or The Majestic - and he rented out a really nice lake resort for the whole crew over the Fourth of July weekend, at his own expense.

    But yeah... he's hot. I'd totally do him.

    Yek...wow, that sounds really odd. Is that commong for actors to be like that? jim Carrey just strikes me as a really nice guy, I guess because he's so damn funny. I dont find him attractive, but I'd love to have him over for dinner and just listen to him.

    Isn't he now dating Chicago's own Jenny McCarthy? (While I don't find Jenny the least bit appealing--she tries too hard--hope the two are happy.)

    Me, I'm happy to see Carey take on dramatic roles. I always got the vibe that there was a tremendous amount of pain and emotion just under the goof-ball surface. This impression was confirmed when I learned about his traumatic childhood.

    I think he's cute too, but method actors are so crazy. Why not just, you know, ACT? Plus, when Kate Winslet got nominated for Eternal Sunshine, I think the academy people were basically just fucking with him at that point. Poor Oscar crazy man.

    If you become the character it's so much more believable... don't knock a guy if he's almost a billionaire from his methods.

    agreed. Method acting is probably the one I'd bow down and respect more. Acting , imo isn't an easy thing. And to throw himself into the roll completely to understand that person more , is probably one of the many reasons his ass is one of the most paid actors out there.

    man I need to become a method acting stripper.

    anyone with me on this shit?

    Ok, my acting experience is limited to high school plays, and two years of university theatre. The best role I ever got was Laura from the Glass Menagerie, and my best friend told me "not so much a stretch there, Molly". So maybe I am unintentionally method.

    I do respect the whole strasberg school and the meisner method, etc. I take it back that method acting in general is overrated, but Robert De Niro is an excellent method actor who played crazy guys without spitting on the crew. I think you can deeply investigate the psychological motivations of a character, even a nutbar one, without losing complete touch with reality. But that depends on the person I think . Don't get me wrong, I like Jim Carrey! He is a little unhinged though (have you heard him in interviews?). I could be projecting my bad experiences with certain folks I acted with in theatre who were just total douchebags. Also, to get way off topic, I always found it so suspicious that SO many theatre guys are gay, yet so few famous actors are 'out'.

    Method acting is great to a point; I even use the method in screenwriting. I know, I know, but it really helps. I can't act my way out of a paper bag, but when I write I often speak out loud as I'm typing and try to get into the characters' headspace so that their dialogue is appropriate for each one. But there's a limit to how far you can reasonably go with the method. I mean, if Jim was playing Jeffrey Dahmer, would he murder someone and eat him? I doubt it, so why go out of your way just to be a dickhead, simply because your character was a dickhead?

    I first thought he was a hottie in Eternal Sunshine. It was weird. It suddenly clicked for me that he's cute, and now I see it when I watch any of his movies.

    exactly. another thing about jim is that he changes the script sometimes...theyll be filming and he'll like throw an extra line in or something. im sure his additives make the movie more interesting...and im also sure he does it so well because of his method acting. he IS the character in his mind (method acting), so he can just spit out what the character would actually say.

    IMO = In My Opinion. Tis okay, it took me a while to figure it out too.

    I dunno, he might be nutty, and kinda kooky, but I think I like that about him. He's a doll, and I wanna wrap him in paper with a big bow for my birthday!
