“Sharon Waxman‘s piece about the end of Used Guys is good, but there may be another reason for its demise: Jim Carrey has gone flakey, to put it mildly. He’s been telling everyone who will listen, journalists included, how he’s tired of doing the madcap comedy that made him wealthy. More alarmingly, he’s been babbling about his fascination with the number 23 — he’s actually making a movie by that name — and how he thinks it connects with everything in the world. Maybe he’s on to something, but maybe he’s become just a little too wingy for studios to roll the dice on. Especially since Fun With Dick and Jane did okay but not spectacular numbers.” — Journo pal
