So in the celebrity-addled culture worship of the United States, the latest casualty appears to be Jim Carrey. Does this kind of make me sad? A little bit. I admit that I enjoyed Jim Carrey's rise as funnyman Fire Marshall Bill during "In Living Color" which had me rolling on the floor laughing my ass off more than once. I liked the original Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and I also liked Liar, Liar and Me, Myself, and Irene. Every other movie though that he's made since then, has been complete and utter crap. Without exception, Mr. Popper's Penguins is the latest in a string of duds in a career that might as well be over.
But who cares, right? I mean the guy is a mega-millionaire. I would have thought he was happy, especially with Jenny McCarthy as his girlfriend, right? Well she left him...and I guess he's in an epic mid-life crisis.
Why does the mid-life crisis even exist for men? Well I think it has a lot to do with men having egos that are too big for the super-dome and they simply have these egos because, well, they have testosterone (Munk is the lone exception to this). My co-worker put it especially poignant when we walked to 7-Eleven to get our morning coffee and to share half of an apple fritter from Crispy Creme (YES I KNOW I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO EAT THEM BUT THEY ARE DELICIOUS! F/U CRISPY CREME /shakes fist at the sky). Anyway, my co-worker said, "The severity of the mid-life crisis depends on the vanity of the man." I believe this. If you are really vain...oh boy is fifty (or age for that matter) gonna hit you like a ton of bricks.
So here's the YouTube video of Carrey destroying his career. He says it's a joke. Well the joke is on him. It's a fifty-year-old washed-up actor and comedian with a saggy body getting a hard-on for a voluptuous 22-year-old Emma Stone. Jim Carrey...welcome to the next huge internet meme as you are made fun of by EVERYONE in the world.
Pretty creepy, right?
How would you feel if you were a 22-year-old girl and a 50-year-old man made a YouTube for you like this? He should have read my review of American Gods and realized, yes you are rich. No, this does not make you an American God. I doubt he reads anyway. Stupid is as stupid does.
