[I Have A Dream]

1. I don't like Jim Carrey much as an actor, but I really like him as a person.

(I think that he's a very talented actor, but he's just not the type of actor I like to watch.)

I hope that his endeavor is a success.

Thanks, Dora.

3. I have much the same opinion

I can count on one hand the films of his that I've liked, but I've never heard an angry word said about him, nor have I ever heard anything cruel or spiteful from him.

I'm not on board with all of his beliefs, but he still seems like a fine person.

5. I agree, Orrex. I don't have to look at the world the same way that someone...

else does to feel that he/she is a good person. (Hey, I was going to say "good soul" but I abstained because it was you. :))

6. LOL! I appreciate your forbearance!

However, under the circumstances, I think I'd accept it in the "spirit" in which you intended it!

2. This looks like a cool thing

I am very tired of miserable movies; either violence or just wasted time. I always wonder why sex in movies is considered worse than violence. I feel like violent entertainment eats pieces out of people's empathy.

This is a good idea.

4. I like it

Funny about Jim Carrey--I never think I like him, and then I watch one of his movies and am blown away. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was incredible.

To all the folks in H'wood who "get it", I say mazel tov. We need more love in the world.

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make...

7. I hope they make some great movies

I'm so tired of the cops and robbers and spies and war games and perverts. I rarely ever venture out to movies any more.

I'm on my 7th day without tv. So far I miss...the weather report.
