from page 2
ing? Is this guy bipolar or something?
He tries to be Mr. Serious and Import
in his movies, but outside the studio he’s
supposed to be this cut-up funny guy
we all know and love. You can’t have it
both ways, Mork! Be funny or be seri
ous. Tom Hanks did it a bit more con
vincingly, and it seems the Academy
doesn’t like when Jim Carrey does it,
so we have no advice for you in that are
na except to get out of the middle of the
road. It’s Hallmark on the phone!
Maybe it’s a sore spot for us because
R.E.M’s “Great Beyond” wasn’t nom
inated Their biggest radio hit since “Los
ing My Religion” was passed up for the
damn “Blame Canada” song. Now, we
liked the “South Park” movie, but how
can we take the Academy seriously when
they nominate “Blame Canada”? Even
Madonna’s “Beautiful Stranger” was a
better original song than that. Then again,
these are the same people who passed
up “GoodFellas” for “Dances With
Wolves” and “Raging Bull” for “Ordi
nary People.” We expect them to slip
up every now and then. Just stop giv
ing Jim Carrey the shaft, that’s all. Al
so reciving the shaft were “Being John
Malkovich” and “Fight Club”, two of
the most original and entertaing films
of 1999. And speaking of Shaft, has any
one found Hayes yet?
