I tried to be very specific about the language here, because yes, Carrey was a somebody before Ace Ventura. But I'll qualify further here. He got "famous fast" in the sense that he emerged from relative obscurity with three hit starring vehicles in one year—his first three smashes, all in a few months, which is almost…

Don't think I'm being remotely half-assed about suggesting that the story has been challenged. I address it directly in the second graph. The first graph is about establishing the official story that has become lore. And beyond that, there have been rebuttals to the rebuttals, with some researchers suggesting that the…

The film does not ignore it, but it does not make a huge deal of it either. (Bill, her brother, didn't know for years that they were lovers and not simply roommates.) Didn't seem crucial to discuss.

Hey guys. Some of you may have noticed that the clip included in the piece doesn't match up with what Mike wrote. That's just a technical goof on our end. We'll get it switched out in the morning. Sorry about the mistake, and thank you, as always, for your late-night readership.

Certified Copy earned overwhelming praise, at Cannes and after. Wouldn't finding it pedestrian and forgettable be the contrarian opinion?

Bummer. Sorry man.

Someone indeed does. In the very song form you're referencing.

Not even the Linklater? It went wide-ish today. I guess that doesn't mean *everywhere,* but it's in, like, 75 markets.

Yeah, pretty much.

I'll probably add one later. Too swamped right now, but it'll be up by tomorrow.
