I'm so conflicted about Jim Carey. On one hand, he's a based socialist, on the other, he's an anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist idiot.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 94 points 1 month ago (4 children)

people are complex and can be right about some things and wrong in others, nuance exists.

[–] Newsteinleo@midwest.social 11 points 1 month ago (3 children)

This is pretty much everyone.

yeah, it's obvious, yet somehow people are always surprised

I had this with the youtuber and investigative journalist Johnny Harris. He has some good videos where he does deep dive investigative journalism but then in other videos he hears something and just accepts it as fact. For instance, in his video on who is Elon Musk he accepts what Musk said about his history as fact and didn't check any of it. Or he uses multiple sources all leading to the same source: Musk. So the entire video is a big Musk circlejerk promo video. But with other videos he doesn't accept something that easily and goes really deep to find the truth. So I googled the guy, apparently he's a devout Mormon. How can I take this guy seriously with anything if I can't trust him to check his sources properly every time, when some things are just what he believes and accepts without doubting any of it. I mean, the guy believes in fairy tales, and really weard one too. So all of his material becomes junk as it's really hard to disect the good journalism from the bad yourself, without doing all the research yourself completely. He's a selective journalist, not an investigative one. But it took a while to spot the twisted info he produces. I followed him for a while and though he delivered proper investigations until he made videos on something I specialized in and he made critical errors while stating it as fact. This is, in my opinion, one of the most dangerous fake news forms out there. It even fooled me, while I'm not easily fooled.

[from memory]

I stopped following him when he made a propaganda sponsored video without saying who paid for it. that's not a 'being wrong in some thing and right in others' that's more like the guys can't be trusted.

He's definitely not a devout Mormon. He previously was, but then left the church.

He actually has a good series of videos on that. Recommend a watch.

Vaccine skepticism

In 2009, Carrey wrote an article questioning the merits of vaccination for The Huffington Post.[149] With former partner Jenny McCarthy, Carrey led a "Green Our Vaccines" march in Washington, D.C., to advocate for the removal of "toxic substances" from children's vaccines, out of a belief that children had received "too many vaccines, too soon, many of which are toxic".[150] The rally was criticized by David Gorski, an American surgical oncologist on Science-Based Medicine blog, for being anti-vaccine and not "pro-safe vaccine",[151] and by Steven Parker on the WebMD website for being "irresponsible".[152]

On July 1, 2015, after the signing of a new vaccination law, Carrey called California Governor Jerry Brown a "corporate fascist" who was "poisoning" children by enacting the vaccination requirements.[153] The law disallowed religious and philosophical reasons for exemption from vaccination. Carrey was criticized for being "ignorant when it comes to vaccines" by Arthur Caplan, head of the Division of Medical Ethics at New York University,[154] and by Jeffrey Kluger, senior writer at Time, who described his anti-vaccination statements as "angry, dense and immune to reason".[155]

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I like him enough as an actor to forgive the indiscretion if he had a change of heart. It seems there's nothing past 2015, and I feel like he must have changed his opinion if he was silent about it during COVID.

Maybe it's just wishful thinking, I haven't looked past the wiki.

He's openly said that he isn't Jim Carrey, Jim Carrey is his Batman to his Bruce Wayne.

"I'm not real." -Jim Carrey.

nothing on jenny past 2015, its like news about them disappeared after that, maybe they are keeping thier anti-vax more private.

Unfortunately, yes. Check out the Wikipedia article. It's a roller coaster ride.

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Probably from his time being married to jenny McCarthy

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Yeah, but if I had to choose between him and Adam Sandler I would go Jim any day of the week.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I wouldn't rush to Jim, though.

I'd go...at a medium pace...

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 month ago (6 children)

I prefer Jims acting and the roles he's chosen, but Adam seems like he's probably a nicer person.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Its an Adam Sandler song reference..."At a medium pace".

Imo peak Sandler music. Everyone remembers Lunch Lady Land and Thanksgiving and Chanukah Song because they are (mostly) family friendly and get played on the radio sometimes.

At A Medium Pace will not get played on legit terrestrial radio. It is probably not family appropriate, unless your family has a traveling act called "The Aristocrats". That's that raunchy, cringey Sandler we all know and love and sorta miss but we know he's too old to really do it anymore and it wouldn't be genuine but he's still pretty good in romcom settings.

Movies.

But this is a very niche joke based Animals in HBO dedication an entire episode+ to litigating Sandler vs Carrey

Basically trying to start a war in the comments

Rich people are only socialist until someone tries to redistribute their wealth. It's all an act.

[–] Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Have you seen the Kaufman documentary? IMO Carey is certifiably insane, he spat on someone and refused to apologize because it wasn't him, it was Andy. He literally thought he was possessed, or at least acted like that's what he thought

That's the girl who played Cindy Lou Who opposite Jim Carrey in The Grinch Stole Christmas.

His face, to me, says "I'm old".

[–] Z3k3@lemmy.world 46 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I saw this and thought that's the leased singer for the pretty reckless.

10 mins later I learn she's both

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think you mean 'lead' singer.

But if you know more about her personal habits than I do...

[–] Z3k3@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Lol stupid autocorrect

[–] PopcornPrincess@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Glad you wrote who the lady is. I had no idea. This almost whooshed over my head.

[–] CidVicious@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If it makes you feel better, I have no idea who that is because I was already an adult when it came out and had no desire to see it.

[–] HeadyBroccoli@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You should watch it, it’s fantastic

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

As someone who was an adult when it came out but didn't see it until years later.

It's an adequate live-action adaptation of a classic piece of animation. With Christmas coming up you should probably go ahead and give it a watch, if for no other reason than to say you did.

[–] HeadyBroccoli@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

I appreciate your point of view, as someone who saw it at a younger age, I’m sure I have some nostalgic bias’s

[–] TommyJohnsFishSpot@lemy.lol 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Taylor Momsen, for anyone who wants to, uh, research her

[–] ch00f@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

She finally grew into her nose.

Edit: for the downvotes, there's a line in The Grinch about how Cindy Lou is so young she hasn't even grown into her nose yet. I'm not commenting on the actor's looks.

I saw one of her shows and she was all tits out in booty shorts, with the goth look that’s my type. I felt weird until I remember I was also a kid when grinch came out so it’s ok

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I didn't even know she was an actor.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

She has a rock band, I don’t know if she has acted recently

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I know. I saw her band in concert. I was saying that's where I know her from.

I thought she looked familiar. I've seen the pretty reckless.
