Yes Man is a crappy movie and also finished #1 at the box office this past weekend. I can’t say that I’m surprised since Jim Carrey is such a box office beast. Mr. Jenny McCarthy was fortunate that Will Smith’s Seven Pounds is apparently very bad as well. Even without a Big Willie Style Flop, you had to know that Yes Man would perform well. I’ve known about this movie since my brother sent me an email back in September:
My brother is incredibly insightful.
Big names like Jim Carrey and promotion drive the box office these days. The window to make money at theaters is becoming smaller and smaller. The success of most wide releases depends on frontloading the promotion and thereby the revenue. There are very few movies that register any significant returns after the first 6-8 weeks. Warner Bros. must be on to something because they may break the domestic box office record of $1.75 billion. I guess that’s why I started seeing Yes Man posters in November. My friend John took advantage of one of their “viral marketing tools” to trash the movie:
Viral marketing is the wave of the future!
It’s disheartening for me that Jim Carrey chose this movie to get “back in the saddle”. Recently, I watched part of Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls on one of the superstations. I thought to myself, “This isn’t so bad… it’s even pretty funny.” I remember that I used to think that movie sucked… but compared to Jim Carrey’s latest it’s gold.

My excuse for this lazy post: too many holiday parties and Mad Men. One of my new favorite quotes comes from an episode I just watched: “We drink because it’s what men do.” This picture below and my buddy’s comment are also entertaining:
Please don't send me any virtual beers or snowballs
“i find that especially interesting as his daily journey begins with flirting…then finding out what kind of person he is/should date. then finding out if hes a stalker…then becoming in a “complicated” relationship. thats some day.” - JRM
This conversation occurred a couple days ago with a friend who had gotten into a car accident. Earlier in that day, he had told me that advertising and marketing were evil and that anybody in that field of work was basically soulless. Then he t-boned some marketing student that ran a red light. But it gets entertaining when it starts to get a little bit creepy.
My friend decided to get in touch with the witness that vouched for him. He did it in an usually manner though. This is from a guy who refuses to use facebook because he think it’s narcissistic and stalkerish. He adamantly denied any of it being skeezy though. I want you all to read this and vote in the poll below.
AnonymousAssholeFriend: A&M marketing major, ran a fucking red light and i t-boned his ass (who was also driving a mazda 6) and splattered my whole engine across the street AnonymousAssholeFriend: luckily it was his fault, so I guess your marketing “fuck you in the ass” gods tried to send me a message AnonymousAssholeFriend: nevertheless, fuck them, they didn’t change my opinion and I fucking hate them even more OfficialChrisDuncan: but doesn’t that kid/insurance have to take care of it? AnonymousAssholeFriend: yeah, but it’s an insurance company so i’m probably going to get lowballed and not be able to buy as badass a car as that was AnonymousAssholeFriend: the guy said he’d been drinking but since i’m a nice guy i didn’t tell the popo that or else he would have been double fucked OfficialChrisDuncan: nice dude… good karma AnonymousAssholeFriend: just bought that shit a month and a half ago AnonymousAssholeFriend: and get this… the girl who was a witness had her name and number on the police report i got tonight … looked her up on myspace 18 and hot OfficialChrisDuncan: you’re a creep AnonymousAssholeFriend: so i texted her and thanked her and we exchanged like 3 more messages OfficialChrisDuncan: you’re a huge creep AnonymousAssholeFriend: and she was like “let me know if i can do anything else or hopefully i’ll see you around on campus” OfficialChrisDuncan: holy shit, you have a girlfriend now AnonymousAssholeFriend: nah, unfortunately *****’s new ladyfriend is also his neighbor, so anything’s hard to pull off at this point AnonymousAssholeFriend: hey… all i did was text her thanks which i was going to do anyway before i saw she was pretty good looking OfficialChrisDuncan: you are a creep… you know what’s creepier than friending people you don’t know that well on facebook? AnonymousAssholeFriend: whatever, the dude wasn’t going to say he ran the light she did me a huge favor OfficialChrisDuncan: taking their number from a police report, looking them up on MySpace, then combining thanking them with flirting with them AnonymousAssholeFriend: haha, she didn’t seem to mind OfficialChrisDuncan: I didn’t say she wasn’t a stupid 18 year old… I said you were creepy AnonymousAssholeFriend: listen, all i did was say “thanks for being my witness” OfficialChrisDuncan: you probably put a smiley face in there or something OfficialChrisDuncan: admit it AnonymousAssholeFriend: haha, i actually did… with a wink OfficialChrisDuncan: NO FUCKING WAY YOU CREEP OfficialChrisDuncan: that’s so hilarious AnonymousAssholeFriend: just a “thanks for looking out” emoticon OfficialChrisDuncan: I see, you were trying to speak the 18 year old lingo AnonymousAssholeFriend: all i was doing was saying thanks… she didn’t have to respond AnonymousAssholeFriend: but she saw me last night and probably thought i was a sexy man so was encouraged to respond back OfficialChrisDuncan: yeah, I guess she knew she was destined to be with a guy who drove a Mazda 6… and that night it was just fate AnonymousAssholeFriend: man, i’m the least creepy dude around, i take offense to that OfficialChrisDuncan: hahaha AnonymousAssholeFriend: “got your number off the police report, just wanted to say thanks for being my witness AnonymousAssholeFriend: wtf was that AnonymousAssholeFriend: anyway, that’s all i said.. i didn’t ask her to get together even after she texted me back a couple more times OfficialChrisDuncan: we’ll let the internet be the judge of that
And this gem is a separate exchange that I had with another friends. My friends are impressively creepy.

AnonymousAssholeFriend: the little town in friday night lights OfficialChrisDuncan: hahah AnonymousAssholeFriend: NBD AnonymousAssholeFriend: i could seriously jack off to like 4 or 5 girl characters in this show OfficialChrisDuncan: congrats
