Jim Carrey has come out against his own ultra-violent role in Kick Ass 2. -- (link) - Mop (190 lbs) Jun 24, 09:02 17
- it is always possible than someone changes their opinion on something. - groiny Jun 24, 09:12 11
  - I bet he still cashed his cheque though -- nm - Beaker Jun 24, 09:22 10
    - Yeah, would rather he have not tweeted it. You asked to be in the movie, you made it, you cashed your check. Let it ride. - Spawn Jun 24, 09:23
    - of course, you wouldn't? -- nm - groiny Jun 24, 09:22 8
      - sure, but if he has such a problem with it shouldn't he not take the money? or donate it to charity or something? -- nm - Beaker Jun 24, 09:24 7
        
        nah, I think he did the job, he earned his money. - groiny Jun 24, 09:25 6
        
        Yes, but part of the job is not undermining the product. He's free to not do another movie like that and if he wants to talk about that after the - pmb Jun 24, 09:27 1
        
        do you think anyone is NOT going to see it because he said that? - groiny Jun 24, 09:28
        
        honestly, I half wonder if this isn't just some genius move for a shitload of free PR - Beaker Jun 24, 09:26 3
        
        If so, it's one of the more reprehensible attempts. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 09:27 1
        
        ah, I didn't realize his tweet was event specific, yeah I doubt my own potential theory now too -- nm - Beaker Jun 24, 09:31
        
        I dunno, if it were not a sequel, I might agree with you. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 24, 09:27
- I bet Mark Millar says soemthing like 18 months ago the script was the same so it's kinda disengenous for him to complain. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 09:12

    - They are. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 08:59 1
      - you are not supposed to let your kid swing from them. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 24, 09:15
- Depends on how expensive the food at the reception is. -- nm - mara Jun 24, 08:55
- better than a food basket -- nm - Crazy Bride Jun 24, 08:55 2

- as long as they're worth the amount they spent on your dinner they wouldn't have reason to complain. -- nm - znufrii Jun 24, 08:55
- Better than a food basket, for sure. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 08:55
I hunger. I need lunch. What should I be getting? -- nm - ty97 Jun 24, 08:52
maybe a 13-mile ride along the river and back wasn't the best way to break in a mountain bike I fixed up over the weekend. My legs are *sore*... - znufrii Jun 24, 08:51

- Good thoughts and hopefully it never happens again. - Krusty Jun 24, 08:43 4
  - She's down to a couple a day. - Stephen Jun 24, 08:49 3
    - A couple a day is pretty good. An e-cig might get her to kick those last few. - Krusty Jun 24, 08:53 2
      - If you want any info you can email me. Deets inside. - Krusty Jun 24, 09:10 1
        
        Thanks, I appreciate that. -- nm - Stephen Jun 24, 09:27
- I know it sounds weird, but I think that nothing coming back is probably a good sign. - spamlet Jun 24, 08:38 1
  - No, that's true, no one likes to "not know", but the alternative would have been that there was something (likely major) wrong that caused it. - Stephen Jun 24, 08:46
- I did not know Wellbutrin helped with quitting smoking. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 24, 08:38 10
  - iinm, they rebraded it as Chantix to go after the quitting smokers market. - znufrii Jun 24, 08:39 7
    - Chantix is what they give, yup. Not sure if it's the same as Wellbutrin. My gf took Wellbutrin for another reason and she said it helped stop - Krusty Jun 24, 08:41 5

        *shrug* - znufrii Jun 24, 08:49
      - I just googled, Chantix is varenicline. Wellbutrin/Zyban are buproprion. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 08:42 1
        
        I wasn't sure. I knew Chantix is what they give to quit smoking but I wasn't sure if Wellbutrin was similar. Guess not. -- nm - Krusty Jun 24, 08:47
    - I think Chantix is different. Wellbutrin was (is?) called Zyban for smoking. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 08:40
  - yep, they've been using it for years, usually under a different brand name. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 08:39 1
