Before I start this entry…
Whenever I say “confidential to…” or read the same title in Tim’s LJ, it makes me laugh. How pathetic is that? Clearly, I’m just one step away from watching and extolling the virtues of movies like Dumb & Dumber. Which I haven’t seen, so maybe it’s brilliant.
Okay, one other digression. Why don’t I like Jim Carrey when he’s trying to be funny? Because over all, when he brings it down a notch or twenty, I think he’s talented. But when he’s consciously funny, it’s in that Jerry Lewis way that makes me want to slap him. I wonder what they think of Jim Carrey in France?
Lisa, you asked about the novel I’m working on. It’s a departure for me, because the main character is a straight woman. Since I am a straight woman, this should be a snap, right? It’s not. Mainly because it’s a Christmas romance about a woman in her twenties. Of course, since I perpetuate the myth that I’m 35, that part shouldn’t be too much of a stretch. However, I have a love/hate relationship with Christmas. And with romance, for that matter. But I’m making that work for me in the story. So far, though, no way to work the camels in, dammit. It’ll be out the end of this year, so you can bet when I’m sure of the title and other details, I’ll be posting about it nonstop on here.
‘Confidential to…’ makes me think of Dear Abby.
Christmas, romance, camels. Camel ornaments on the tree, maybe? That’s way better than her romance being WITH camels.
i don’t like jim carrey.
i too compare him to jerry lewis.
just ‘funny’ faces and a trail of distruction.
none for me, thanks.
The only movie I like that has Jim Carrey in it is Bruce Almighty — and I really don’t say that in public.
Do you really think that the French think that Jerry Lewis is a comic genius ? Or did the CIA put that out years ago to give them bad press.
I love Will Ferrill though — Zoolander is the best. One of the first things I want to do with Paul and Greg when I move to New Orleans is to make them dinner and watch Zoolander
That Hanzel is so hot right now!
Oh yeah, H A N Z E L…lol he is hot in a unique way.
But the very best thing is Billy Zane who is sizzlin!
LOVE HIM
he is so beautiful. Sometimes I wonder if Billy wears eye liner because his eyes are sooo gorgeous.
he is dreamy isn’t he … I love him. I wish he could act so I could see more Zaney movies
I am not a big fan of Carrey’s either.
You’re NOT 35???
You can always work camels into it by having people go to a zoo. Or add lamas. I love those furry guys.
Llamas sound good–then that always makes me think of Knotty. That’s when I started reading him, when you linked to his dead llama story.
I’m presuming/hoping that there are, if not camels, at least a couple dogs in the story? Guess I’ll be looking forward to the end of the year then. Thanks for the info!!
When Jim Carey is “restrained” he’s very good. I heard Majestic was great, but my favorites of his were Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Truman Show. If you go back to the early 90’s to a made-for-TV, he was fantastic in Doing Time on Maple Drive.
Camels, hmmm. One hump or two?
