Has not made a good movie since 2004.


I was a fan of Carrey. But, like a lot of people judging by his decreased box office, I have found that he's well and truly flushed his career down the toilet the last 10 plus years. He reminds me of Steve Martin. Starting out in zany comedies, gradually moving in to more dramatic roles, with limited success and becoming a bit of a bore in truth film wise.
For me, his last truly good movie, was Eternal Sunshine, and to be fair, Unfortunate Events also.
Mr Popper's Penguins is one of the worst movies I have seen, and The Number 23, Fun With Dick And Jane, Burt Wanderstone etc were not far behind. As for Dumb and Dumber To, he wasnt bad in it, but my God, that was a pile of desperately unfunny garbage sadly.
In Penguins in particular, he looked lost. Thats where he's at for me. Lost.
The Bad Batch sounds interesting, True Crimes may also be, but the word of mouth so far isnt looking good on both of those.
He will likely continue to fade into Steve Martin-ness...

truth be known, i think his general creepiness may have deep-sixed his career.
a creepy actor like walken can find plenty of work in certain genres, but not the kind of comedy roles that carrey is limited to.

Y'know what I find creepy?

People who, despite having their sickeningly abusive and vile comments deleted again and again, purposely continue to post on aforementioned messageboards of people they have a bizarre and vicious fixation on, attempting to weasel in pathetic and senseless personal digs any which way they can.

Yeah. That.
