Not all the time (What was with "Semi Pro"? Barely a laugh to be had there...), but very much in those two Adam Mckay films that seemed to bring a great deal of room for improvisation.<br /><br />Eric, thanks for the tip, but unlike you, I'm not currently studying Japanese, so I kinda need them old subtitles...B-)<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by Castor - please come back and let me know what you think of any of these films if you end up seeing them.<br /><br />Flickhead, I haven't seen "Clean Slate", but now that you mention it, I do remember hearing about it (I can't remember if it was others mentioning it at the time Memento came out or not). Carvey has always been funny to me in small doses - SNL skits and a bit in Wayne's World. I'll have to seek out "Clean Slate"...Bob Turnbullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02243657105760780425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977893001776125260.post-37342235024543840842010-01-03T13:17:30.792-05:002010-01-03T13:17:30.792-05:00In regard to Memento and short term memory, have y...In regard to <i>Memento</i> and short term memory, have you ever seen <i>Clean Slate</i>, made six or seven years earlier? A Dana Carvey comedy, it's no masterpiece by a long shot.

The first due to its humour and the different story lines that allow everyone to get their own revenge, but then suffer at the hands of others. And the third...Well, I can't even speak rationally about it...<br /><br />As for Jim Carrey - I'm not a big fan of his either. His comedy has always had way too much mugging (though I give him credit for being good at some physical comedy) and his movies are usually played very broad. But he's down right subtle at times in ESotSM. His stock has certainly fallen in my mind of late since he has joined up with the anti-vaccine brigade and that numnut Jenny McCarthy, but fortunately all that happened after ESotSM, so I can separate it.<br /><br />I'm bummed about "Gentle Breeze" not even being available on non-region 1. It was one of the first DVDs I sought out after getting the region free player and I couldn't believe it wasn't even available on YesAsia or HKFlix. If you find it let me know and I'll do the same...Bob Turnbullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02243657105760780425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977893001776125260.post-87221583689857155042010-01-01T14:49:26.747-05:002010-01-01T14:49:26.747-05:00Intriguing list!
I'm curious how the other 2/...Intriguing list! <br />I'm curious how the other 2/3 of Park Chanwook's vengeance trilogy made the list, but "Oldboy" didn't. If I were to make a list like this, I'd be hard pressed to rank anything above it. All 3 films are amazing, and surprisingly different from one another.<br />I'm trying to check out "Gentle Breeze in the Village" but I'm having difficulty finding a DVD (which makes me want to see it more). <br />If "Eternal Sunshine" had anyone, ANYONE, but Jim Carrey in the lead I'm sure it would be a favorite of mine as well, but I find him absolutely intolerable.keeperdesignhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07577843905356226521noreply@blogger.com
