Movie Top Ten Someone, take over the baton

[DallasFanForever]

Bruce Almighty (2003) is a good film but it's just not among my favorites that's all

It is among my favorites of his but I can understand your opinion. It’s definitely not ur typical Morgan Freeman movie. It’s really more Jim Carrey’s movie to be honest and let’s face it you couldn’t find two entirely different actors/personalities in the same movie.

By the way, that "Sesevenen" stylisation does my nut in. Apart from the film officially being named "Seven" anyway, it's also a rip-off of early Mini marketing:

I'm the total opposite as I love the stylised way of referring to the film's title. It shows how clever the human mind is that it can translate Se7en to Seven without a second thought. The studio used both forms (Seven and Se7en) in their marketing of the film but replacing the V with the numeral 7 is how many people remember the title as it's more eye-catching.

Point well made, Angela. I do think it's really effective in a title sequence, on posters or on merchandise such as Blu-rays and DVDs. I remember buying a copy of the DVD that had written "Seven" on the front and it somehow felt less official.

All the same, there's a very literal part of me that it frustrates. I had a similar issue with the Scream 4 poster, which read "Screfourm".

For me, what works on a poster doesn't always translate well to plain text. In this case, I see nothing but "Sesevenen". It's similar to when I've seen fans of the sitcom imitate the styling to write "F.R.I.E.N.D.S.", as though it's an acronym for something. But that's just me and my bugbear. I'm not going to lose sleep over it, especially now that I've vented.

I agree, except I also like Ace Ventura. The Truman Show is one of my favourite films and How the Grinch Stole Christmas is one of the best Christmas films.

 

[Willie Oleson]

How the Grinch Stole Christmas is one of the best Christmas films.

I'll check it out this Christmas

I also like Ace Ventura

Really? How can you stand it?

 

[Angela Channing]

Really? How can you stand it?

Jim Carey is the kind of actor that for many people you either like or you don't. Once you buy into his over the top whacky persona you can appreciate the humour more.

 

[darkshadows38]

i love Ace Ventura but the 2nd one was a really bad film with it's moments, i've been a fan of him since the 25th episode of In Living Color way back in (1991)

not everything he's done is movies i love or are any good he's done movies so bad they are Painful to watch check out one called Club Med (1983) it's got like 5 or 6 minutes of him doing this comedy in a couple different parts in it and he's the only good thing about it yet he's now billed as it's star. Alan Thicke was actually it's star and he had nothing good to say it about it either. me and my brother rented the VHS of it back in the 90's at some point and it goes by a different title on IMDB but we rented it as Club Med (1983) there also is another movie that came out in (1986) called that, don't be confused with that one it's not the same film that one is a far better film i think.

this one was like 56 minutes i think? and a long 56 minutes may i add
