Carrey hit his stride as Fire Marshall Bill on the old In Living Color show - its all been downhill from there.

He is a well-known face around Fairfield and Vedic City. He goes to the Raj for ayurvedic treatment and has spoken, I believe, more than once with the David Lynch MA film students on campus. He's obviously a big supporter of the movement. I have never seen any of his films. Are they bad? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote : 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? 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. ---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.
