    He also obviously got to write his own lines. He insisted on either that or explicit Robotnik/Stone (true story source go do your own research).

    I don’t know about you but that seems a good reason to un-retire.

    As much as I loved him in the Sonic movies I really hope they don’t bring him back for number four. He’s died twice now but that second one was actually a really good death.

    Everybody comes back when you back a big enough truck full of money into their driveway.

    At least Carrey is being picky about what he does. I wanted another season of Kidding, but I understand if he’s done playing dark roles.

    I wonder if you could go back to him when he got his start on that TV show with the Wayans brothers and told him that he would enter playing Dr. Robotnik in the Sonic movie what he would think.

      Sonic 1 had just come out for the Genesis and was hugely popular while In Living Color was on TV- and that awful live action Mario Bros movie hadn’t come out yet, so he probably would have been all for the idea.

    Nostalgia usually doesn’t work on me, but bringing back 1990s Jim Carrey to be in the Sonic movies is laser targeted at 10-year-old me and totally works.

    Actors say this shit all the time, particularly when they know they’re a critical character in the middle of an unfinished successful series. I wish I could just tell my boss I’m retiring then come back a week later just to do the work I was always planning on doing after my boss wrote a check for $10 million.

      tbf being an actor, especially in film, is fucking terrible at times.

      I shot a car commercial years ago. Getting up at 4am to get to set for 4.30 to stand in one spot say “¡Vamos!” in heavy makeup repeatedly for 15 hours 3 days in a row in the exposed elements becomes torturous.

        You know what’s really torturous? Getting up at 4 am to drive 1.5 hours to the city to pour concrete for a multi billion dollar company 10 hours, 5 days a week so you can support your family on $24 an hour.

    I don’t like the movies he’s in, but I respect what he’s doing - cinematic shitposting.
