Stiller, Carrey and Judd Apatow talk about it in a chapter in Apatow's latest book. It's really interesting to see what they liked about it, why they thought it was a disappointment, etc. Carrey's high salary definitely gets mentioned as a reason for why people hated it.

Once he kind of broke away from Garafalo and just started making bank left and right, the wheels really came off.

Well…….glad that's settled.

The only comic book property to come out 20 years ago - "The Phantom." Different times!

I saw him in the movie "High Strung," solely because me and every other 10-13-year-old was trying to take in anything Carrey touched. I'm still convinced I'm the only person that both saw it and liked it, though it's been 20 years.

"Three and a Half Men" - Is this the "Three Men and a Little Lady" and "Two and a Half Men" cross-over I've been waiting for!?!

I think they downplayed Carrey's role because he was in the movie for like, 5 minutes.

"Philip Morris" didn't make money because the general public wasn't willing to see a movie that so obviously marketed itself as two men falling in love (I also think it didn't wide release). "Burt Wonderstone" got panned real hard, basically saying it was a complete waste of a great cast.

Yea, I'm pretty sure Norton has proven to have solid comedic chops over the past 5-10 years.

Maaan, I completely forgot about "Screwed" (outside of still quoting "I got scared" to this day). A movie with that cast seems like a dream come true today, considering the different career choices each made following this (also R.I.P. Elaine Stritch.)

I don't think many people were ready for it, considering it came out during a summer of crowd-pleasers like "Twister," "Independence Day," "The Rock" and "Dragonheart." I remember 10-year-old me didn't get why people were saying it was so bad. But that same me didn't really know what a dark comedy was either.

I saw it at the cheap seats and during that moment, after the screen goes black, a lady yelled out "Oooh, he's dead." We all laughed.

Man, I've aaparently been wrong all these years. I must have been mixing Morrison's real life stint in jail with this, as well as the cover of the single being him holding handcuffs. You learn something new everyday!

Sound of casino machine loudly plays in background

I love Roger Ebert and didn't agree with that opinion. But I find it weird that gamers were so offended that a man the age of most of their grandpas didn't agree with them on video games. I mean, what did you expect?

I like that with all the digital changes they could have made, Norman Reedus still looks like he got 2 hours of sleep in the past month.

I agree with everything, except that this is better than "P.T." That was one of the best teasers for a video game ever.

Hahaha. Wow, that sounds like some stuff out of a paperback novel. He got into legal trouble and THEN aligned himself with Suge Knight? THEN he wrote a song called "I'm Innocent" with DMX!? Bold choices!

That's incredible.

Eh, settle down, aggro bro.
