Reconfigure

Notoriously resistant to (for practical purposes, afraid of) change.

Quitting dark humour

May 13, 2006 [10:46]

I wish to quit dark humour. Yesterday I watched "A series of unfortunate events". Sick one, I think, for a children's movie. Ref. his (Count Olaf) expression of Sunny (the youngest of the three orphans in the story) coming down crashing was sick (that is a baby in there, he mimics the way the cage would crash, (yuck)). I am impressed by the way Jim Carrey created a 'hatable'(or in general, thing that causes headache and nausea) character. He did that a lot of times, one such being returning a blind kid's bird, dead, in 'Dumb and Dumber'. Some wholly sick movies of his are: 'The man on the moon', 'the cable guy' and 'Eternal sunshine a of spotless mind'. 'The Truman show' could fit in if you look at it as a big sick joke played on Truman. 'Wasting' a man's entire life in the name of entertainment (Even if it has cozy part of Truman's freedom and all). 'The cable guy' is more like a 'sophisticated' bully to me. Though Eternal Sunshine doesn't have any obviously sick scenes. It makes you think of how one could mess with your head, if allowed. I got a similar feeling as this movie when I played the game 'Sanitarium'. I wonder if it was OK to be a Jim Carrey fan. I like him and have come to dis-like him for the same things.
