Yes Man

[B-Bones]

Couldn't find a thread for this movie even though it came out on Friday. Anyways. It was a great movie. Jim Carry at his best and Zooey Deschanel is adorable in it. Really funny movie. The Jumper scene was great. Anyone else seen it yet?

[BrennanHickson]

I saw this movie a few years ago but it had a different name. Back then it was called Liar Liar.

[last light]

This looks absolutely horrible.

[IamTheINDUSTRY]

want to see this.

Cool avatar. It's Kyle Chandler, right?

Ya that's what I said. "It's like Liar Liar without the magic."

This looks absolutely horrible.

Looks can be deceiving. It was really funny.

[WakingTheMisery]

Zooey is the only reason I second thought going. Then I was reminded of Jim Carey's career in the last 5 years.

This looks absolutely horrible.Agreed with both of these. How can the great book that this is "loosely" based on spawn something that looks so awful.

Key word: "looks."

I like how you can create an opinion on something you've never seen.

There was a scene where he stopped a guy from committing suicide by playing Jumper and everyone started singing along that was awesome. I would watch this movie again just for this scene. Really funny and good movie despite what the people who haven't seen it and won't give it a chance say.

[WakingTheMisery]

That doesn't sound funny at all.

You mean when you were 2?

[WakingTheMisery]

If this movie went like this, I would enjoy it.

At the end of Yes Man Jim Carrey’s character is told to kill himself sort of like a dare, but the person that tells him doesn’t know he is saying “Yes” to everything so when Jim steps in front of a bus and dies it is really shocking but also really funny. I mean, the whole movie is funny because he says yes to everything, even like drinking a bunch of Red Bull, which is really funny because he talks really fast just like when people drink a lot of Red Bull. He also does a bunch of things like guitar lessons and stuff.

But when he says yes to killing himself and you think the movie is over you have to wait until after the credits because there is still like 10 minutes of the movie as well as a trailer for Magneto and a special appearance by Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, which was like OMG kewl.

So anyway, in the scene after the credits Jim Carrey goes to heaven and he’s like tripping and stumbling and EVERYONE is laughing because tripping and stumbling is HI-LARIOUS and he meets God, which is played by… you guessed it! Morgan Freeman!!!!!! So God asks him to do something (i can’t remember what it was) and he waits for a minute and everyone thinks he’s gonna say yes, but he yells, “NO!!!!” God hits a button and Jim drops down a long dark tunnel and lands in this really dark chamber and you see the Devil! The Devil then asks him to do something and he again yells, “NO!!!!” but this time the Devil doesn’t do the button/tube thing… instead he says, “You must go back to Earth and bring about terror and destruction in my name!” He doesn’t give him a chance to say no or yes or anything and just *poof* he’s on Earth. He lands in a diner and you can hear a TV broadcast in the background and you are never gonna believe this… but it’s Evan Baxter from Bruce Almighty! Then it goes black and the Wonder Woman trailer plays and everyone almost peed themselves because of who is playing Wonder Woman… she is sooooo hot and stuff.

Anyway, then they talked about what Yes Man 2 is gonna be about and they said it’s gonna be Carl Allen (Jim Carrey in Yes Man) terrorizing Bruce Nolan (Jim Carrey from Bruce Almighty) in a religious battle where Jim will play both characters. It’s gonna be awesome. I told them they should get Steven Spielberg to direct it because that would be awesome.

Really funny and good movie despite what the people who haven't seen it and won't give it a chance say.I've seen enough movies based on trailers that made me laugh only to discover that all the jokes in the film were in the trailer.

You don't have a sense of humor. Me and all my friends were cracking up. But we were really high hotboxing a blunt in my car at the drive-in and you are straight edge so I can't expect you to have fun.

Well it was funny. And the only funny parts weren't in the trailer. Whatever. Don't watch it. Don't enjoy a good, funny movie. No skin off my nose/back/however the saying goes.

I laughed at this lol


I want to go see this sometime this week.

[bloodyr0mance87]

i saw this on friday. it was just ok. there were some funny moments, but nothing that made me laugh out loud, and that is the measure of a good comedy. the "lesson" in the story is overshadowed by the (mostly) lackluster performances. however, getting to see zooey deschanel makes up for all of it. god she's hot.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

No urge to see this though I do enjoy Carrey.

[Anderson]

I'm not about to get into a discussion about straight edge. Sufice to say I've got a decent sense of humour. I'm glad you enjoyed it, but I'll wait until it comes onto tv.

[Crocodile Logic]

lol @ this dude defending yes man to the grave.

[B-Bones]

I'm a moron.

I know you're a moron man you don't gotta tell me. Idiot.

[marrost]

B-Bones you are the least clever person alive.

REEEEDUH BUUUULLLLUH LOL oh man how could anyone want to pass this up? Then again, not everyone has the opportunity to see it in the same homoerotic fashion that you did.

[Colorblind!]

That makes sense.

Henry, you're edge?

and I laughed at this movie.
Dude from Flight Of The Concords was hilarious.

[WakingTheMisery]

[WhoSaidThat?]

It was an all right movie. Nothing that made me laugh myself to tears, but it worth my ten bucks all in all. Still, nothing will top Role Models, these last few months.

[mht]

so wait they sing the horrendous crappy band Third Eye Blind's Jumper song? How is that even funny? That band fucking blow dicks.

[a speedo model]

Want to see it.

[Chemical Love]

This looks so bad. Maybe I'll give it a download in a couple of months to check it out.

[Recovery Room]

Excuse me, but Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind came out in 2004.

[nfggc10]

Carrey hasn't made a good comedy in almost a decade. He and Sandler are the same actors now. They're actually good enough actors to take on serious roles yet they still throw in too many sloppy comedies. They're too old to be doing movies like this.

[nfggc10]

Excuse me, but Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind came out in 2004.Great film.

[Deadwomb88]

Did anyone see that Comedy Central look into Yes Man? Jim Carrey was interviewed the whole time, and god was he ever annoying. The interviewer couldn't get one question in without him trying to make a stupid joke or pun that no one laughed at, he was mostly laughing at his own jokes. Really painful to watch.

[altemose09]

i thought it was going to be bad but i ended up liking it. gallows cover of staring at the rude bois was on it. that made me smile. also as soon as i saw the guy was about to jump i was like he's gonna sing jumper. hilarious.

[chasingsafety]

how was zooey in this?

Do you know what homoerotic means? It just seems, through your use of the word and the context in which you used it, that you have no idea what it actually means.

Ya I knew he was gonna sing it when he started tuning the guitar.

[last light]

Just got back from this a few minutes ago (early bird special) and if you don't laugh then you don't have a sense of humor. Me and all my friends were cracking up. But I was rolling and getting handjobs from these 2 Portuguese exchange students from the local jr. high the whole time. Since you guys are straightedge I wouldn't expect you to have fun but it is the best, most original comedy of the year.

lol

adj.

1. Of or concerning homosexual love and desire.
2. Seeing "Yes Man" at the drive-in, with other dateless men, and steaming up the windows while shouting the title of the film.

I saw this last night and I found it pretty funny. Definitely worth the ten bucks.

Nope. Nice try though. Go get em tiger.

[marrost]

Go get em tiger? What was I thinking to suggest that there was any man on man contact in that car.

[Recovery Room]

The Wrestler, The Reader, Frost/Nixon, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Gran Tornio come out this week.

No way I'll be passing up any of those to see this trash.

[B-Bones]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. You are not funny or original.

[oldy]

Wow, this thread is packed full of dickheads.

[BrennanHickson]

You mean when you were 2?

Yeah. I just happened to retain enough information of Liar Liar's story line after having watched it when I was two years old enough to have the ability to easily compare it to Yes Man.

[marrost]

B-Bones even gets owned by 13 year old girls lol. Just hang it up dude.

Congrats! Your coolness just handed you an exclusive spot on my IGNORE list. Have fun jacking off DIE HARD over there.

[poppa Q]

PLEASE continue, this is rather entertaining.

[JustSway]

I just saw this, was better than I expected but that's really not saying much. Mediocre at best.

[marrost]

PLEASE continue, this is rather entertaining.I guess B-Bones couldn't take it.

I didn't even get to make fun of his profile picture.

[mht]

poor Bones man. Dude just wants a smoke sesh to Bayside at Bamboozle.

[boldt_action]

Haha, I can't believe that someone would actually take the time to defend this movie so passionately.

It's not that good dude, let people have a negative opinion of it.

poor mht. All he wants is for his old jokes to stand up but it's almost 2009 and that shit's old hat. Get some new material buddy.

[Roboman]

how was zooey in this?

As incredibly cute as ever. She gets to sing too, which was great as I'm in love with her voice, among other things.

Anyway, I enjoyed the movie and thought it had a good amount of laughs, but I was saddened to see that B-Bones started this thread and therefore had to turn it into unending proof of how much of a cockbite he is.

[Adeniz19]

http://i44.tinypic.com/dej4h.jpgi'm just quoting this for b-bones to see. it would be a waste if he didn't.

Why would you want to use a dildo on a 55 year old woman? You fucking fail sooo hard man. Haha.

[erinfxs]

This movie really dissapointed me personally, I really like Jim Carrey, but he just played his usual self again.
The only part about it I found funny was Norman. :/

I haven't been keeping many tabs on him since the Early Edition days. I've heard great things about Friday Night Lights, though... I'm just too lazy to check it out.

Anyway, I wouldn't suggest getting too caught up in the show. All good shows come to an end: a sad but true fact of life.

[ThisIsNotDan]

hahahaha this thread.

I love Jim Carrey but I am nervous about seeing a spritual successor to Liar Liar

Read a few pages, just saw Mike being Mike and some dude in some band arguing with him with Geoff dropping a statement.

I'll take Mark making fun of people over that.

[Adeniz19]

Everyone busted nuts because Geoff showed up saying he doesn't care -- when obviously him showing up to speak his mind, he DOES care. I thought it was kinda pathetic for a guy of his stature to stoop to that level.ok i got to the point where geoff finally posted and it was pretty amusing. i see nothing wrong with him defending himself. it was one post and it wasn't like he created a name to respond. geoff checks out the boards pretty frequently

[Talib Scottie]

I did find that amusing, as well as how seriously people were taking Mike's outlandish comments.

[Adeniz19]

I did find that amusing, as well as how seriously people were taking Mike's outlandish comments.I've trained myself to just to keep scrolling once i see his avatar haha

No, it definitely was amusing and I have nothing wrong with him defending himself but there isn't a reason to say something along the lines of him not caring what people say AND THEN defending himself. And not just Geoff in particular, anyone that does something like that. If you don't care then you don't care. Maybe I'm jaded, but I just think that is pretty contradictory.yea, that's true.

[mht]

poor mht. All he wants is for his old jokes to stand up but it's almost 2009 and that shit's old hat. Get some new material buddy.

The fact that a 13 year old female ripped you apart with better sarcasm than you lets me know my old jokes are still better than your generic ones.

That's true. Realistically speaking, though, this site most likely wouldn't be in existence for more than a few short months if it consisted solely of uncaring Stoics.

Must have missed that.

[Adeniz19]

i just reread what geoff said. he didnt say he didn't care, he just said he was done trying to prove anything, but it was at the end of his statement, so it really wasn't that contradictory.

[mht]

For the record i like the dude i made fun in the thursday thread and his bands but thats a moot point. As for everyone dick riding the guy from thursday after that post is whatever. Im indifferent on it. Thread sucks and the music discussed in it all sucks. Want to read a funny thread find the rotten tomatoes one haha.

[mht]

Doesnt the new thursday album art have people in white hoods on it? Arent they on taste of chaos tour now? I think there was little truth to my stupid outlandish comments how he goes from underground skrams elitist to mainstream wannabe so. Its conflicting ideals and morals in my opinion. Like someone saying they like both avenged sevenfold and reversal of mans music. That just doesnt happen or make sense

[Talib Scottie]

Oh I wasn't discrediting your opinions or saying they were false by calling them outlandish, just that they are extreme, haha.

i find it amusing, especially when half-witt kids come out of the wookwork and get all worked up.

[mht]

My assumptions were based on references i used from things like his interview on mtv's website. I only questioned what i saw in the source so. It just seemed silly when he tried to pigeonhole me like i act like i know insider info about his bands or i make it up which was a funny defense in my opinion. Oh well. I could argue about it until im blue in the face but thats why i didnt even bother to quote him.

[brentkid]

LOL! B-Bones has downs syndrome!
