I'd love to have been a fly on the wall to hear the discussion among the MUM higher-ups as to who would give the commencement speech. Whose idea was it to invite Carrey? I can't imagine that it didn't generate considerable resistance from some quarters. How did Carrey win out? He's a very rich Hollywood A-lister is my guess. The more there are of those spreading the word the more headlines they'll get. And how are those who were agin him feeling now that the choice has proved to be a stroke of genius? There are thousands of news stories reporting on the speech. I would also give my right arm (well, maybe my left arm) to be a fly on the wall when Buck sits down to see some of Carrey's films for the first time. Somebody should videotape the occasion. You could sell tickets to watch the expressions on his face. For maximum effect, he should start with Dumb and Dumber and Cable Guy before moving on to The Truman Show. LOL. When David Lynch first came out of the closet everyone at HQ was really excited that a top Hollywood director was pushing TM. I suggested showing a season of his movies on the Marshy channel as a tribute and they all thought it was a great idea, never having seen one. Quite sweet really. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : One of Carrey's more "serious" movies is "The Truman Show"...a nice blend of spiritual values (i.e. there's much more to Reality than the reality we live daily) and his usual comedic charm. The premise is definitely unique making it one of the classics, and it's well worth the rental price.
