Jim Carrey Embraces South Beach Lifestyle
Posted by Seth at 8:45 AM on April 30, 2008
Here's a first glimpse at Jim Carrey on the set of I Love You Phillip Morris (from the team who wrote Bad Santa, the movie is based on a true gay prison love story and was pitched as Catch Me If You Can meets Brokeback Mountain), in which Carrey's character appears to have been vomited upon by a Versace Medusa logo. It also features him grabbing a generous handful of actor Rodrigo Santoro, who was required to butch things up significantly since playing 300's chainmail-swimwear-fetishist Xerxes.

Catch Me If You Can meets Brokeback Mountain meets a development exec on a three day cocaine binge.
When it comes to "stretching" for a role, gay is the new retarded.

Letter to Hollywood: please stop inflicting horrible gay-premise movies on all us gays. We don't like them, don't view them, don't care.

No doubt the man whose talent runs out of gas at Fire Marshall Bill will deliver a sensitive portrayal of a gay man.

Well, if your going to play gay, might as well make sure the one your, um...playing with is a hottie.

Finally, a role that won't strain Mr. Carrey's severely limited talents...
And I would rather have a quadruple bypass than see it.

Wait! How can Carrey be grabbing Rodrigo Santoro's ass? His character's love interest, Phillip Morris, is supposed to be played by Ewan McGregor! Is there no honor amongst fake gays?

Because it would be a crime against humanity not to.
