Sorry. I just have a pavlovian thing going on with that film. Sorry.

I thought Jim Carrey was hilarious in Fun With Dick and Jane.

I laughed so hard that a little bit of poo came out of my arse.

Yes, I think Anthony Lane said something similar in his 'New Yorker' review.

Yeah, that's why I said he has successfully suppressed these urges to do manic shtick. But by instinct he is he sort of comedian who thinks that pulling crazy faces, moving manically and free associating is funny. It is something he does in interviews more than in movies.

I have so say, I don't see it. He was never like that on the Daily Show. I guess I haven't watched any of his promo interviews.

I'd like them to put that on a poster. Wonder what it'd be like for mainstream erotic thrillers: "Sensual, arousing and intense enough for me to moisten myself in an unseemly way - Chris Tookey, Mail On Sunday".

Not much to worry about then, surely, if he has these instincts but they don't manifest themselves in, er, any of his best-known performances.

But if the manic shtick is under the surface, as I believe it to be, a concern that it might find expression as the actor becomes more autonomous is not entirely unreasonable, no?

Seems a bit odd, to be honest. It's hardly a schtick if he never actually does it while acting.

I mean, you know, I'm concerned more about things that have happened.

I must say in the interviews I've seen, which is only two admittedly, Carell hasn't been as you describe.

Al Pacino. Almost invariably a parody of himself since Scarface.

Scent of a Woman
Heat
Sea of Love
Glengarry Gleross
The Insider
Any Given Sunday
Insomnia
Merchant of Venice
You know, to name but 8 off the top of my head that show that to be completely wrong.

Scent Of A Woman is my Exhibit A, usually. Hoo Hah indeed.

The Horse: okay, whatever.

Owen Wilson's schtick is getting a bit tiresome. Maybe following his... um, personal problems he'll get a new one.

Eric Bana in Chopper exempts him from such lists.

Would Pauly Shore get some kind of award for being redundant as a film presence in a matter of minutes in his first film?
