I don't know where I saw it recently, but YouTube has an old Living Color sketch where Jim Carrey did a great Vanilla Ice, and the physicality was so spot-on I remembered why he used to be so good.
I feel dirty for that comparison now.
Anyhoo, he's an over the top mess like Ben Stiller now but he used to be so, so good. Speaking of which, I finally saw
Trading Places
last night (can't remember in what thread I was urged to see it) and the rest is pretty dated but, as weird as it feels to say, the thing I kept thinking about Eddie Murphy was that he was fucking
incandescent.
Lights up every scene he's in, and it's just timeless.

Yeah, he was. He also kicks ass in 48 hours. Eddie's better when he's allowed a surly edge.
Is he still dating Scary Spice? Man's got balls.
He's not. They've split. And she's pregnant. He's denying he's the father.
I see a Maury Povich show in the future.
I heard he was going to be Bilbo in THE HOBBIT
Yeah, but only if it doesn't conflict with his shooting schedule for Winnie the Pooh (he's Tigger).
They're also trying to get him for the role of Paul in the remake of Dune.

F/C/M: Paul Gross, Bruce Campbell, Nathan Fillion.
OUCH. Woman, are you trying to kill me? Okay:
C - Bruce Campbell. I love the man, but he's been quite surly in the last few public appearances I've seen him at. Not that I wouldn't be surly at the legions of unwashed fanboys that seem to follow him around, but still. Also, an American up against 2 Canadians? Totally C.
F - Nathan Fillion. Mmmmm, Nathan. (msbelle will kill me if I try anything, sadly.)
M - Paul Gross. While it would make me sad to take him away from Martha Burns, the man is HOTT (and brilliant, and goofy, and...) and should be mine, ALL MINE.
JZ, you've not seen S3 of S&A yet? It's *amazing.* Unsurprisingly. Shoot me an email and I will try to hook you up.

OK, speaking of...I've been rewatching Due South, and did she play his mother?
