ParticipantI saw a article today that said that Jim Carry was looking to do a movie with Ben Stiller? The premise was something about them trying to escape a society totally dominated by women. The article was very vague on anything else mostly I think because the movie is still being developed, but lets hope for some Amazon apperances!

ParticipantJim Carrey?
The same person who "graced" us with the "character" of Vera deMilo on In Living Color… a character through which he couldn't express enough cruelty and hatred toward women bodybuilders? That Jim Carrey? He's going to play one of the Amazons, right?
Sorry, but I haven't forgiven him or the Wayans brothers for that. (Do you realize that more people watched that one episode of INC than probably the entire viewership of every FBB contest on ESPN combined? I shudder to think how many people came to hate FBBs because of that show.)
So, no, I'm not excited about this new project of his.

Participantlol wow thats some hate there but I guess when u look back on it your right he almost started it! I had never even thought of that character again untill now. I remember him doing the character a few times one with a little girl taking steroids and turning into Jim carry when she grew up. . . 😡

Which in turn was also a parody of the famous Public Service Announcement (PSA) for Milk with a girl putting down a boy who snubbed her. While she's touting the virtues of Milk, drinking it and growing (age progressing) into a beautiful young woman – pointing out along the way what he was missing out on.

Until a week or two ago I wouldn't have known what you meant, DCM (me being a Brit and all), but then I came across this video on M90, which seems to be the episode you were talking about (or one of the episodes?).

This show was just so nasty. *sigh* and I used to like him in The Truman Show…

That is needlessly bitter. First of all, it wasn't even pretending that he was any sort of FBB. It was taking a stab at Conan the Barbarian. So I think Conan fans have a LOT more to bitch about.
Second of all, look at Liar, Liar compared to Dumb and Dumber. The man has obviously matured a lot.September 4, 2005 at 4:56 am #12498JimmyDimples
ParticipantYeah, he HAS come a long way.
I never looked at his Vera De Milo skits as a true slap in the face of the FBB community. I saw him as the stereotype most mainstream folks think of and fear when they think "muscular woman," and alongside the real thing, I realized FBBs didn't look THAT bad. In fact, I appreciated them a lot more.

I'm probably gonna get excommunicated for this, but I thought that was pretty funny.

That's not the one I saw; the one I saw was a satire on FBB contests. David Alan Grier, if I got his name right, played the MC who'd make such charming remarks as (paraphrased) "She's trained real hard, but she still hasn't managed to get rid of her breasts". (The punchline of the skit was Jim coming out in those ponytails and that "bikini" thing …yeah, a man, and a pretty skinny one at that, playing a woman bodybuilder. A real laff riot.)
And since there were no Conan references (that I remember, anyway) in that one… then that must mean he's done that character three times at least. Which is not improving my opinion…
Look, if you thought it was funny, if you were entertained by it, and you think I'm being "needlessly bitter", I won't argue with you. Just telling you how I feel.
