Some think he has gone crazy, but I think he has advanced.

I always liked him as an actor.

I always liked him as an actor. I liked him in The Truman Show. But is really wish they hadn't felt the need to have Truman do "Jim Carrey things" purely so that Carrey could ply his usual funny-faces-wacky-behaviour schtick in the film. Truman was a stronger character without it, IMO, but they just didn't have the confidence to let him do something genuinely different.

I didn't think they played on his wackiness all that much in Truman Show. More in the beginning but even then not so much as any of his comedies prior.

Oh they toned it down a lot, to be sure, but it didn't really need to be there at all, IMO.

I think Carrey's mild Carreyness was good for Truman Show.
The show would want him to be melodramatic and his whole life was geared toward him acting that way.
That's actually a good example of indoctrination. Of course it didn;t stick, so maybe it wasn't.
I used to despise him, but he widened out as an actor plays Dumb & Dumber was one of the funniest movies I saw (Liar, Liar is a bad movie but he is soooo funny in it, that I gotta love it too).

Hasn't he always been a little nutty?

Hasn't he always been a little nutty? He never uttered a peep about anti-vax until he dated Jenny McCarthy, who based her entire stance on her son's autism, then had it come out that her son wasn't actually autistic... yet his stance remains the same. (As does hers.) All creatives are a "little nutty" but we can certainly safely say Carrey is "easily swayed" by feels-right positions. Ripe for new-agey "energy all around us" stuff and the like. His paintings kick ass, whatever the case.

I think he did Andy Kaufman really well.

Thanks for the link; my computer (or internet connection) is being a pain in the arse right now, so I haven't been able to see anything yet, but will try, try again!

Well, it's mostly very stylized paintings of Jesus or other spiritual-type matter in various mediums. His work isn't exactly changing the field as far as societal commentary or anything, but the guy's command of the human form as well as his use of color (vibrant doesn't do it justice) just amazed me.

I'll just ignore the content and look at it with artist's eyes; I made a living as a freelance illustrator for many years and my best friend is a wildlife artist. And, I did study art history; most Italian Renaissance art is religious but the skill, the color, the medium... astounding.

This may be farfetched (which would be nothing new for yours truly on this board), but if Jim Carrey was under mind control and he found a way to free himself from it, then I don't see it as a tragic thing. I see it as a good thing.

It's those damned Godless sodomite Nazi mind-controllers again! I'll bet they're acting in collusion with the gangster scientists.

His paintings kick ass, whatever the case. It didn't "come out that her son wasn't actually autistic". Her son was officially diagnosed with autism. Some pop-psychiatrist said that symptoms sound(feelz?) more like another obscure disease that is almost exactly like autism. The way you're presenting it is to make Jenny McCarthy sound(feels?) like a fraud. Suppose her son isn't really autistic. You're going to have an awfully hard time explaining why Landau–Kleffner syndrome hasn't been studied in relation to vaccines.

I read that he ate a bunch of magic mushrooms and went into the forest while preparing for his role as Terrance Mckenna.
That'll do it.
Psychedelics make people more open minded, and research suggests that change is permanent.

Whatever he may have become, we will always have the memory of what he once was.

I can only speak from heresy but a friend of mine claims his hearing improved drastically while on some psychedelics, and he claims it's remained even after the high wore off.
