Is Playing Curly Worth Jim Carrey's Health?

Have you heard? Jim Carrey is gaining a lot of extra weight to play curly in the upcoming Three Stooges movie. I love the Three Stooges, and I'll be hoping for the best, but although I think Carrey is a great actor I have never imagined him as Curly. Have to see it to believe it.

Question I have is though as hard as it is to lose weight, why does Carrey want this role bad enough to gain 50 lbs or more? Heck, you know extensive weight gain has consequences that may never be gotten rid of like saggy skin, clogged arteries, etc. Sure it's never too late to lose weight for your health, but why gain it on purpose. It's not like he needs the money.

Now you take Stallone he gained a lot of weight for his movie Cop Land, but I've noticed the man has got all kinds of blood veins all over which is a sign of extreme weight loss. But don't get me wrong Stallone is in great shape especially for his age in this day and time.

I just don't get why guys that have millions of dollars already would want to risk their most priceless possession, their health, for any particular role, but actors do it all the time.

Let me know what you think on my TVcrazy.net Stooges Forum

Violence In Movies and TV

Has violence gone overboard in movies and television, or even comic books for that matter? Uh, yeah I think so. Even John Wayne who wasn't a stranger to violence in movies said about a popular movie of the day, "To me, The Wild Bunch (1969) was distasteful. It would have been a good picture without the gore. Pictures go too far when they use that kind of realism, when they have shots of blood spurting out and teeth flying, and when they throw liver out to make it look like people`s insides. "The Wild Bunch" was one of the first to go that far in realism, and the curious went to see it. That may make the bankers and stock promoters think that it is a necessary ingredient for successful motion pictures. They seem to forget the one basic principle of our business - illusion. We`re in the business of magic. I don`t think it hurts a child to see anything that has the illusion of violence in it. All our fairy tales have some kind of violence - the good knight rid

Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels: The Complete Series DVD Set

 I watched Captain Caveman as a kid. It all started with Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels which was basically a different take on Scooby Doo and Charlie's Angels . Captain Caveman and three teenage girls solve mysteries with the help of Captain Caveman. Captain Caveman was a prehistoric superhero that was frozen in ice until he thawed out in modern days, which was back in 1977. According to wiki the original Captain Caveman ran from September 10, 1977 to June 21, 1980. A total of forty 11-minute episodes ran for three seasons from 1977 to 1980: sixteen episodes were produced as segments of Scooby's All-Star Laff-A-Lympics in 1977, eight episodes were produced as segments of Scooby's All-Stars in 1978 and sixteen episodes were produced in 1980 when Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels were given their own half-hour show which combined new episodes and reruns from 1977–79. Cavey and the girls also participated in sporting competitions as part of "The Scooby-Doobi

Superhero Health and Exercise

I've always been into two things for most of my life which are weight lifting and comic books. Right now I'm really into health and fitness in general, and I've created a site dedicated to health and fitness called hip2bfit.com health and fitness . I've recently added a section about superheroes and fitness . I talk about actors and what they do to get into shape for superhero movies, and some comic book characters that relied on the gym to get their super powers.
