NFT: Tommy Lee Jones hated Jim Carrey

“I walked into a restaurant the night before our big scene in The Riddler’s lair. The [waiter] said ‘you’re working with Tommy Lee Jones aren’t ya? He’s in the back corner’. I said ‘oh great, I’ll go say hi’. I went up to say hi and the blood drained from his face in such a way that I realized that I’ve become the face of his pain. He got up, kind of shaking, and hugged me and said ‘I hate you. I really don’t like you’. I was like ‘wow, ok. What’s going on man?’. He said ‘I cannot sanction your buffoonery’.”

Tommy Lee Jones hates everybody

And vice versa. He's widely regarded as one of the biggest pricks on the planet.

probably thinks he's above all his acting peers due to his educational background.
and so?  
RasputinPrime : 10/29/2014 5:10 pm : link
lot's of people are at odds with others. Jim Carrey puts himself out there more than most and will attract quite a bit of ire.
He has a right  
BillT : 10/29/2014 5:11 pm : link
After all he and Al invented the internet together when they were at Harvard.
Kid all you like

but TLJ didnt win an Oscar for Space Cowboys by sanctioning others' buffoonery.
He talked about this

I hate Jin Carrey.

Yeah, Jim Carrey is a total sack of shit. Advantage, Tommy Lee Jones. Far better actor, too.
I like Tommy Lee Jones so much more now...  
Ryan in Albany : 10/29/2014 6:11 pm : link
Carrey is a douche.
TLJ  
bc4life : 10/29/2014 6:19 pm : link
seems like a bit of an asshole. Local reporter (really decent guy who has since passed away) interviewed him - he didn't have to agree it, but sat for the interview - acted like a superior douche bag, acted like he was being bugged by a little kid. totally unnecessary.

Always knew there must be a reason  
NYDCBlue : 10/29/2014 6:21 pm : link
I like Tommy Lee Jones....
Jim Carrey  
bc4life : 10/29/2014 6:27 pm : link
is pretty funny - Living Color was probably his best stuff
One insanely rich douchebag hated another insanely rich douchebag  
Patrick77 : 10/29/2014 6:28 pm : link
Jim Carrey hasn't been funny or entertaining in years. TLJ is a great actor, not surprising that he is also an asshole since those two things have nothing to do with each other.
Tommy Lee may be an asshole  
Greg from LI : 10/29/2014 6:32 pm : link
But he is not an antivaxer.

To really appreciate what a jerk TLJones actually is

I recommend watching the documentary Harvard beats Yale 29-29. It is one of the best football movie of all times, tommy lee jones was on the Harvard team and while most of the former players were great guys, he was just an absolute jerk in the portions where he is interviewed about the game. Highly recommend the movie.

This.

I despise Jenny McCarthy with every fiber of my being.
TLJ is a ball buster and a bully -- until you stand up to him.  
81_Great_Dane : 10/29/2014 7:14 pm : link
Have a couple of acquaintances who worked with him, one on crew, another as an actor. Both reported similar stuff.

One was a boom operator who took a lot of crap from TLJ, then finally said "Hey, I can make you sound great or make you sound like crap. Your call." After that, TLJ was great.

Another was an actor. Worked with TLJ on a different picture. Doesn't know the sound guy above. TLJ busted his chops until they had a fight scene. Lifted TLJ clean off the ground and was ready to drop him for real. CUT! TLJ laughed, and after that, he was great.

So make what you will of that.
Jim Carrey 94-97

Forever
That's what makes him so awesome  
Joey in VA : 10/29/2014 10:42 pm : link
He just lets it out, unapologetic and gives no shit what anyone thinks.

awesome?

yeah, ok... if you think so.
can't believe  
fkap : 10/30/2014 8:42 am : link
TLJ won the Oscar over DiCaprio or Malkavich in 93. He was good, but it's just a good version of his typical persona. D and M were great as characters completely unique to anything they're typically known for.
Is TLJ a borderline psychopath

TLJ very abruptly ended an interview or press conference when someone had the nerve to ask if he believed in life on other planets. This came about when Jones was doing the press junket for Men In Black. I could understand Jones' ire if he was there to discuss a serious dramatic film he had been in....but this was MIB for God's sake, a rather stupid (often entertaining)comedy about extra terrestrial life. And he gets pissed off about a fluff question that directly ties in with the fluff movie he just made. Massive dick bag.
Can't sanction his buffoonery.  
manh george : 10/30/2014 11:35 am : link
Um, isn't that what a lot of his roles call for?

I can see the review: "Jim Carrey would have been good in 'Dumb and Dumber to,' if only he were more of a buffoon."

Btw, according to Celbrity net worth, Carrey is at $150 million, TLJ at $85 million. Buffoonery sells.

Don't have to know Jim Carrey personally to know that he championed a mind-numbingly stupid, destructive cause. Fuck him till the end of time.
Vaccines?  
Mike in Long Beach : 10/30/2014 11:55 am : link
Yeah that is brutal.
Yeah, true that. Buffoonery in real life is worth noting.  
manh george : 10/30/2014 12:09 pm : link
Dr. Carrey has spoken.

Quote:
With vaccines being the fastest growing division of the pharmaceutical industry, isn't it possible that profits may play a part in the decision-making? That the vaccine program is becoming more of a profit engine than a means of prevention? In a world left reeling from the catastrophic effects of greed, mismanagement and corporate insensitivity, is it so absurd for us to wonder why American children are being given twice as many vaccines on average, compared to the top 30 first world countries?

I didn't know  
Randy in CT : 10/30/2014 1:42 pm : link
Carrey was anti-vaxxer like his former wife.

However, I categorize them as ignorant vs demonic, like some here. And ultimately people make informed decisions or they don't. If you don't vaccinate your kid because you take Jenny McCarthy's word over your doctor, then I don't know what to tell you?
The difference between vaccines and other choices...  
manh george : 10/30/2014 1:45 pm : link
is that someone's decision not to vaccinate can damage others who are at risk. It's not like deciding to give up eating meat.

Oh, I completely understand the importance of vaccines, holistically.
manh's link didn't work for me  
fkap : 10/31/2014 8:37 am : link
so I can't comment on what was in the rest of the JC's comments, but....
I'm not a JC fan (way over rated as an actor and comedian, though I did enjoy his SNL spoofs of McConaughney's Lincoln commercials), nor am I an anti-vaxer. That doesn't mean that there isn't reason to hold a bit of skepticism regarding the pharma industry, and IF it's true that the US vaxes at twice the rate of other 1st world countries, it's valid to ask why. I didn't see anything in the comments manh posted that would make me think JC was a whack.

One should never base life decisions on the word of a celebrity. But one should also educate oneself enough to evaluate whether your doctor is one of the good ones, or one of the quacks, or somewhere in between, and some of them are quick to cater to the pharma industry. Not all doctors are created equal, and it's always wise to investigate enough so that you can tell the difference.
not particularly familiar with Carrey's views on vaccinations  
MetsAreBack : 10/31/2014 11:07 am : link

is he saying he doesnt want his children to have any vaccinations, or is he saying they've gone a little overboard today and not all of them are necessary?

I tend to agree with the latter. The former makes him certifiable.

He (to a lesser extent) and his wife (at the time? still?) Jennie McCarthy were the leading proponents of the junk science claim that vaccines are harming children and lead to autism. Jennie McCarthy should be in fucking jail.
