interview doctoring


Here's a pretty damn funny doctoring of Britney & JT from Weird Al, whose timing is a little off.

It is very reminiscent of some of Tony Martin's work on TripleM.

In case you're wondering, the pic's from Rocky Balboa, the latest and perhaps final instalment in the Rocky series. It was a good move to drop the VI, as that allows us to temporarily forget V.

Jim Carrey reportedly begged Sylvester Stallone to cast him as Broke Pete, Rocky's has-been next door neighbour who inspires him to return to his previous heights of pugilistic prowess. "He told me he was gagging for it," Sly said. "When a man like Jim Carrey begs you, you listen to him, believe you me."

Either that, or it's from The Number 23, coming soon to a thee8r near you. In it, Jim Carrey plays saxophonist Otto Pfister. The star performance is really Carrey's convicing depiction of a man suffering from worms. Critics are openly, freely and broadly tipping him to be nominated for a Tony this year.

Ever since getting tattooed while on a bender in Philadelphia, Carrey has found it hard to find suitable roles in which to display his 'guns'. In #23, they receive approximately 23 minutes of camera time.

The film's backdrop is the Sydney suburb of Petersham circa the early '80s. Carrey's Australian accent was so good, he was often mistaken for Richie Benaud when making phone calls.

Ohh...mercy, that's fantastic. You know, I thought the photo was taken from Rocky Balboa, which would have been quite odd.

I notice '23' stars Virginia Madsen - "What year the grapes were born, what the farmers ate for dessert that night, the haunting rains of centuries past, scuse me I just gotta take a..."

J Carrey looks like J Caviezel in Passion of the Fruit. Check out this move, co-starring Ron Perlman. The synopsis sounds like our work.
