One thing that I’ve found with older classic films is that while the plot and dialogue are very good, the acting is often too theatrical. You can clearly see the shift to a more naturalistic method of acting as the 20th century progressed.

I recall all the times in those cartoons we watched growing up when the characters would do Shakespeare and they would overact so much that William Shatner would say “tone it down, will you?”

I have been slowly working my way through them and watched the first 6 episodes now (40k is episode 5, but I had to watch that first).
Even though I haven’t played most of the games they are based on, They have all been really good… so far.
Arnie is a hoot in the New World episode and Circle is a very interesting take on PAC-MAN.

Went and saw the third Sonic movie tonight with the family. Kids loved it. Wife eye rolled. I actually thought it was decent. I am not a fan of Jim Carry, but he actually did good work here. There were a few jokes I actually laughed out loud at. 3.5 stars out of 5.

Jim Carrey was great in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. With Kate Winslet.
Not a comedy.

I had forgotten that. It is basically the only other Jim Carrey movie I can watch.
Which is probably why I don’t don’t mind him in those films? I don’t think he is funny.
