I have a blog? AWESOME!

Every Jim Carrey Movie Ever: Part 1

All in Good Taste (1983)

19 year old Jim Carrey

All in Good Taste is a low budget B-movie. This movie looks like it was filmed in the 60s but somehow there was enough in the budget to film B-role in Europe. I'm not even going to explain what this movie is about. Just know that there are lots and LOTS of tits, vaheena and strippers. This movie was probably shown at a small Canadian theater as the midnight movie. If you blink, you will miss Jim Carrey's non-speaking role.

Did I mention that there are lots and lots of tits? This movie clocks in at 84 minutes and half of that is girls stripping, gyrating and rubbing their bee stings in guy's faces. Oh and beware, there is some very non-sequitur male stripping too. (Side note: this movie has the worst fucking credits I have ever seen.)

Every Jim Carrey Movie Ever

Jim Carrey is my favorite actor and NOT because of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. I think I dubbed him my favorite actor after seeing The Truman Show many many years ago. After his appearance on Inside the Actor's Studio, I've decided to watch every Jim Carrey movie ever. This is something I plan on doing with Keanu Reeves in the future also.

Here is a list of movies I will be watching:

Copper Mountain

Once Bitten

Peggy Sue Got Married

The Dead Pool

Earth Girls Are Easy

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective

The Mask

Dumb and Dumber

Batman Forever

Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls

The Cable Guy

Liar Liar

Simon Birch

Man on the Moon

Me, Myself & Irene

How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Bruce Almighty

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events

The Number 23

Horton Hears a Who!

Yes Man

A Christmas Carol

I Love You Phillip Morris

Fun With Dick and Jane

The Truman Show

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Originally I decided to only watch movies where he is the primary or secondary character but I said fuck it, I'll watch all of them just so I can say I watched them.

There are a few movies I left out of the list:

Finders Keeps

Pink Cadillac

The Majestic

Since I'm one of the only people in this country that loves movies and doesn't have a Netflix account, I have to somehow rent Finders Keepers and Pink Cadillac. The others I was able to obtain via the information super highway.

As for The Majestic, I JUST watched it at the end of November so it's still pretty fresh in my mind.

I think I'm going to try and write something about them. This is a promise I may not be able to keep. I have very little desire to write anything that's not in screenplay form.

Tales from the 400 Block of Woodcliffe Rd: Blips

For this Tales From Woodcliffe Road I’m going to just talk about people that were only blips on my radar. Meaning, I don’t have long elaborate stories about them, but they still managed to have some kind of impact on me.

★Wowwie! Who just finished outlining his entire script? This guy! As I’ve mention before I’m working on 2 feature length scripts. Well since I had lots of down time today, I managed to actually FINISH outlining the rest of my “School” script. I’m quite satisfied with myself. Even though I didn’t want it to be a rom-com, it still has a rom-com feel. I don’t mind it so much because it’s not an ordinary rom-com. Now that I’ve got the outline done, I just have to complete the actual script (which has been at 45 pages for a couple of months now.) Go me!

★I filmed an “It gets better” video last week. I haven’t cut yet because the more I think about it, the more I don’t want to cut it and post it. First of all, I filmed it with my cellphone which isn’t the best quality. Secondly, after looking at other people’s videos, I don’t think mine is that interesting. Mine is funny and less serious then everyone else’s (which actually does make it more interesting) but I’m a rambler. I may have Jason film it for me one day. OH! How cool would it be to have my best friends in the video with me? The 5 of us would do an AWESOME video. Kyle and Jason wouldn’t do it though. But still, that’d be awesome!

★I got to go to the movies to see a regular non screener for the first time since seeing the Sorcerer’s Apprentice in August. We went to see Red because the last Friday (I’m pretending today is Friday and I didn’t forget to write out my week ahead of time like I usually do) Dave, Josh and Rich went to see it and the power went out in the middle of the movie. So, AMC told them if they bring their stubs in, they could see a free movie since they were out of their little rain check things. Well I obviously wasn’t there but that didn’t stop me from telling the guy I lost my stub. BOOM! Free movie for me! And for Dave and Rich. Rich lost his stub and Dave didn’t want to forfeit his. Neither did Josh but, they made us show them at least 1 stub. Free movies are the best movies.

★I was tricked into fixing a little old ladies computer by Dave. I thought maybe he offered to pick me up so we could go to the movie and so I could return an XP disc to him but NO, I’d been had. I’d been took! I’d been hoodwinked! Bamboozled! Led astray! I ended up spending a couple of hours trying to fix his grandmothers computer which led to me reinstalling Windows for her. I got 40 dollars out of the deal and a thank you card. I was really shocked. I didn’t expect to get money out of it. She was sweet.

★On a related note, while Dave was picking me up, he managed to somehow run over a piece of PVC pipe and it get wrapped around his exhaust pipe.

Try to figure this one out. It's a thick piece of plastic and it was IMPOSSIBLE to pull apart despite having a crack in it. Dave eventually had to take a sawzall to it.

Movies for the week of 10/17/10 to 10/23/10

Today is Monday and here are my movies for the week of 10/17/10 to 10/23/10. I found myself not watching many movies this week. 

Catfish (2010)

This movie received so much hype. I honestly hadn’t even heard of it until the 2 brothers appeared on Ellen a few days before it was released. I didn’t even bother looking at the trailer. I know a bunch of people were trying to tell me about it without spoiling the end. I couldn’t help but compare this movie to talhotblond. Both movies basically have the same premise of a budding relationship that occurs online. But both movies are made completely different. Catfish follows the characters and talhotblond is telling the story after the fact. I ended up giving both movies the same score but I think I like talhotblond a lot more. It had a better more interesting story. LOL the internet! 6 out of 10

Tales from the 400 block of Woodcliffe Rd

I spent most of my childhood (1994-2007) on Woodcliffe Rd in Upper Darby, PA. I was a very social kid and had lots of fun, weird and interesting neighbors and experiences I'm willing to share. Here they are, Tales from the 400 Block of Woodcliffe Road...dozo!

Willow Smith, Repetition, Soulja Boy, Repetition

I hate songs that repeat the same line over and over such as Soulja Boys Guicci Bandanna, Swag O.D, and Pretty Boy Swag or ANY of his other songs. It sets a bad example for today's hip-hop. All one needs is a mediocre beat and a line to repeat over and over. Seriously it's pretty ridiculous. When i was still working in the classroom, you wouldn't BELIEVE how much my students worshiped him. All the time I would hear "She gotta donk, she gotta donk, she gotta donk" or "wa me dew ma bird walk, wa me dew ma bird walk, wa me dew ma bird walk" repeated over and over. Repetition

Please DO Feed the Trolls.

Over the past couple of weeks, I've spent part of my time talking and having decent lengthy conversations with many "trolls." "But Dancy, why have conversations with some anonymous asshole behind a computer?" The short answer is, I love talking to people. This isn't a new fact about me. I love people and I hate people at the same time. Now these aren't your naked, gem for a belly button trolls, but your "die nigger die" type trolls you see in the comment sections of YouTube and select Facebook groups.

Trolling has been around for as long as the internet has. In the beginning, trolling was a art form used to stir up controversy. It's like going to Glen Becks rally as a raging bible thumper and quoting outrageous things from the bible. You're going to have you're ultra-conservatives who agree and your Libertarians who don't. Thus, causing an argument. But when the people look around, the guy who started the argument is gone. His trolling is done. This is a more general definition of trolling. 

With the advent of YouTube and Facebook, trolling has become less an art form and more of a boredom buster. And, like the Tea Partyers, people took their trolling to the streets. The Tea Party is to politics as Anonymous is to internet. Trolls/Anonymous aren't all bad. They have many goals including the stop of censorship, fear mongering, and idiots on the web. They're a pretty successful bunch. That girl who was dubbed "the puppy thrower" was "caught" just a few days after the video went online. You don't eff with these people.

With the positive, there is of course the negative. There are the trolls who enjoy going to websites, and videos and group pages and saying things like "the fags deserved to die."  These are the trolls I'm interested in. Why? Because these trolls obviously have a reason for spouting their rhetoric and I wanted to find out. Everyone has a story. Even David Berkowitz had a childhood, family and friends. I just like to humanize people. People aren't bad. People just do bad things.  

Here's an example of a conversation I had with Mr. Jerck Meyhoff. It's obviously a pseudonym but you'd be surprised how many people use their regular Facebook accounts to troll.

Now obviously in some case I have to use the trust system to know if these guess are telling the truth. What they do and who they are don't matter to me as much as WHY they do it. So far, I don't think anyone has lied. A few told me to eat a bag of dicks when we first started talking, but once we got the ball rolling, these people were generally very nice and conversational and opened right up like Mr. Meyhoff did. 

(Note: With a little digging, I found the real life versions of a good number of the people I talked to and their stories did indeed match up.) 

I'm going to continue to talk to more trolls and compile everything I've learned into a nice essay that'll probably be a Tuesday post in a few weeks. It's fascinating what I've discovered so far. The trolls are the guys at Best Buy fixing your computer, at Starbucks making your coffee, at the movies taking your tickets in labs working new artificial flavors and even your closest friends.

Movies for the week of 10/10/10 to 10/16/10

Today is Monday and it’s been a great week in movies for me. Here are my movies for the week of 10/10/10 to 10/16/10

Future By Design (2006)

I can’t even begin to really explain this little documentary. It’s deeper than it seems. Future by Design is about Jacque Fresco this futurist and engineer who designs these crazy and amazing things. He has these fantastic ideas that are all on such a grand scale. There is no doubt that, with the proper funding, many of these concepts can be pulled off. He has patented and created many inventions but his true passions seem to lie in these ultra-modern modes of transportation and living. What I love is that he was asked to invent a method of viewing 3D without glasses in the 60s and he did. But when you moved your head, the image became blurry. The studio wanted him to fix the problem. He said he could if he was funded. They said make it first and we’ll fund you more. So, it was never made. I just sit back and wonder how different movies would be if he did indeed invent it. And then, there's the Venus Project. I watched Zeitgeist2 last week and mentioned the Venus Project. I’d only heard about The Venus Project in passing before watching that movie. Jacque Fresco, leader of the Venus Project, is interviewed in Zeitgeist 2. At the time, I had Future by Design at the ready and had no idea he’d be interviewed in Zeitgeist 2 so that was a HUGE coincidence. I can’t even begin to explain what the Venus Project is and its Wikipedia page does it no justice. His designs are awesome, his theories are awesome, and the idea of these self-sustaining cities is awesome.  8.5 out of 10
