    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?
