[AGL] how many cables, Mario?

[Wayne Johnson]

I know Dian.  Vulcan Video is one of the few cultural resources available to
film lovers in Austin.  Very fortunate to have such an establishment in
town.  We loved it when we lived there.  Nothing like it around here.

Funny how Carrey was in "just about everything" a few years back.
Now............

I can still remember the "shock" of seeing Kaufman for the first time, doing
his "Lotka" stand-up comedy routine.  I was caught, hook, line and sinker!!!
It was an incredible performance.  He was....for a while...truly gifted.
Then...boing...something went wrong.  Especially around the time of the
wrestling schtick. Ugly.

Meanwhile, I still crave...........Fred Allen, Jack Benny, Shelly Berman,
Bob Newhart, Jonathon Winters, Buddy Hackett, Sid Ceasar (sp?) and the
younger Woody Allen. Not to forget Steve Allen.  What IS it with these Allen
people?................timing?

  I haven't seen The Mask. I agree that Carrey was great in the
  Andy Kaufman bio pic. Andy is said to have been borderline
  autistic and again Carrey's strange deficit of normal affect
  made him the perfect casting choice. In an interview I heard
  Carrey say that to prepare for the film he made himself over
  into Andy by watching films of him over and over and over.

    First of all, I ain't Diane.  I'm Mildred.

    Secondly, I believe that there were no "special effects" in The Mask.
All that was done by Carrey hisself.

    Thirdly, best Carrey flick was when he channeled Andy Kaufman.

      It would be interesting to have Jim Carrey drop
      by. Actually eye am the cable guy here.

      He was, I thought, very good in the Truman Story.
      Great casting, like Keith Dullea as a kind of zomby
      in 2001. Lacking normal human qualities, Carrey
      was the perfect casting choice for such a fantasy.

      And I know it's not your personal fault, Diane, seeing
      as you only rent them out, but why haven't there been
      any good movies recently?

          I counted and find i have 13 different functioning cables going
          to the back of the computer (I am including the power cable in
          the counting)
