Tonight my girlfriend and I went to the video store to get a couple of
movies to watch. Oddly enough, she wound up choosing Liar, Liar with
Jim Carrey, while I went for the classic: Evil Dead 2. Anyway, we
watched Liar, Liar first (I hated it, she loved it). Then, when my
turn came and I put Evil Dead in the VCR, I started to noticed a
couple of things about Ash. Is it just me, or has anyone else
realized that Jim Carrey has more or less stole his entire act from
Bruce Campbell in Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness? I mean, Ash was
doing those wild facial expressions years before In Living Color and
Ace Ventura. Then, the scene where Ash's hand is possessed and it
basically kicks Ash's ass, was almost exactly the same as the one in
Liar, Liar where Jim Carrey has to wrestle with his hand when he tries
to write a lie on a piece of paper. Then, there are some of those
great lines that Bruce had ("Who's laughing now?" and "Groovy!").
Carrey seems to have even stole Ash's delivery and timing, then made
them just a little more forced and bizarre. Has anyone else noticed
this before? I mean, I've heard Carrey called "one of the most
original comedians in years", and "a comedic genius" (among a lot of
things I don't want to print in this newsgroup). What does everyone
else think?

Jim Carrey is the unfunniest man on the planet. What the hell would
anyone see in this bufoon? I hate his 'humour'.
