Perhaps having just gotten around to watching the Kick-Ass 2 trailer, Jim Carrey tweeted some reservations on Sunday evening. "I did Kickass a month b4 Sandy Hook and now in all good conscience I cannot support that level of violence,"

I'll bet he didn't return the check.
dude, you’re an actor. nobody cares what you think.
I’m sorry, Jim who?
How about a new series: “Dumb-ass?”
Do it, don’t do it, nobody will watch it anyway. You’re as relevant as Timothy Leary.
translation: Carey is box office poison so the suits are keeping him away.
This is his excuse to save face.
He is a kook in ohter matters.
The studios just cancelled “dumb and dumber to.”
like I said, he is box office poison.
Actors................what DON’T they know?
“You’re as relevant as Timothy Leary.”
Jim Carrey’s movie career is as dead as Timothy Leary’s body.
“I did Kickass a month b4 Sandy Hook and now in all good conscience I cannot support that level of violence,”
Why? Sounds like he is saying that movie violence causes real violence. That wont make him popular in Hollywood.
Jim is SOOO caring. He is not the empty vessel that, deep down, he knows he is. By sitting on the toilet and coming up with a screwball connection between a worthless movie he made and a sad act of violence by a crazy person, it shows he cares, dammit!
I'm not sure about that. Mr. Popper's Penguins was a terrible movie which got terrible reviews.
It still made almost $200mm at the box office, or more than three times its budget.
His previous star vehicle, Yes Man did similarly well.
The Burt Wonderstone movie was arguably Carell's vehicle to flop, not his.
Carrey - although highly overrated in my opinion - seems to still have some box office clout.
SOMEONE will make Kick Ass 2, if they think it will make money, unless the suddenly conscientious Mr Carrey already bought the rights to it. If he wants to put millions on the line for his conscience, I guess I can support that.
Another one character actor whose distinguishing identifier is STUPIDITY. If he doesn’t like our life and Constitution in America he can drag his sorry A** back to Canada and make his living there. He peaked on Mad TV and that was almost twenty years ago.
Jim’s career is hurting No Dumb and Dumber franchises for him anymore Read in the Daily Mail today TPTB ate not interested after his last flick did so poorly at the box office. Another leftest gun grabber kicked under the bus. This dude me me nervous just by watching. Way too hyper
Carrey is an example of an actor whose career went downhill when he decided to become a “serious” actor instead of sticking to comedy. I’ve never seen any of Carrey’s serious movies and none of his movies for at least ten years. He wasted his considerable comedic talent as far as I’m concerned.
>> “dude, youre an actor. nobody cares what you think.” <<
.
You’ve got to be kidding!
Congressional democraps call actors to committee hearings to tell them what to do all the time.
“Carrey.....seems to still have some box office clout.”
Hmmmm. I didn’t know that.
I’ve heard of “Mr. Popper’s Penguins,” but I’ve never seen the movie. I’m surprised it grossed $200 million. That’s impressive.
I haven’t heard of “Burt Wonderstone” or “Yes Man.”
Have to say, I like his ex......Jenny McCarthy......much better! She’s hot.
