eternal sunshine de l'mind spotless..

But even then I would think they would tell tell them something else, like they are all booked until whenever, I don't think they would mention that the patient has had the procedure done 3 times in one month. You know it as well as I know it, that somewhere, someplace, a script supervisor is out of a job.

i think you have to imagine some bizarre circumstance in which a person knows that they want their memory erased at several points in the future

Carrey Says Film Soothes Warring Couples



Jim Carrey says his last movie is a good prescription for squabbling lovers.

Carrey plays a man who has the painful memories of his girlfriend erased from his mind in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." At a party for the DVD release of the film on Thursday, he offered this promise about the hard-knocks love story:

"I guarantee you, couples who see this movie and it's not gooey, it's not romanticized in anyway but couples who see this movie will love each other after," he told Associated Press Television News. "They'll go, 'Awww, what the hell ... you're not so bad!' It supports love."

Joining Carrey at the party was co-star Kate Winslet, who plays the multi-colored-hair love interest Clementine. Clementine starts a battle of memory erasure when she scrubs him from her mind first. The DVD is set for release Tuesday.

Screenwriter Charlie Kaufman and actor Mark Ruffalo, who plays the brain-erase technician, also attended the event.

Beck performed "Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime" from the movie soundtrack, accompanied by composer Jon Brion on keyboards and director Michel Gondry on drums.

Yo.

I just watched the deleted scenes. Me likes, m'likes. Cool scene of Jim Carrey shit-talking Clemetine to the tape-recorder in Mierzwiak's office. Wow. He says something to the effect of, "The hair thing? It's bullshit. The whole 'Oh you can't criticize me because I don't care how I look" thing...it's sad to be doing that when you're 30."

The "Behind the Scenes" Is standard 11 minute featurette hogwash but the interview w/ Carrey and Gondry is (not to sound like Harry Knowles) absolute BLISS. It's weird because the interview with Carrey/Gondry has more wonderful behind the scenes footage than the actual behind the scenes featurette. Hmmm. For example, Absolutely Fantastic Clips of Carrey and Winslet workshopping some of their scenes, one in which Carrey actually chucks a tape recorder at the wall, shattering it. Winslet's like, "He just broke the tape machine" and you can hear Gondry in the background moaning, "I know...I know...."

Carrey's acting in these clips is impressive, In My O.

Also, they both offer some good anecdotes, especially Carrey, who tells of the only fight on the set throughout the whole making of the film, an incident involving stuff like, "Kate Winslet fainted in the hot tub." Strange and funny.

The part where Gondry demonstrates his "on-camera special effects" (w/ the scene of Joel under the table) is very cool and interesting. When I saw it I blurted something, sort of like, "Pssshaha-wowee."

And now for the Beloved Charlie K Commentary: I'm retiring to my bedroom right now to watch it so good night to you, Xixax. I come to say farewell.

Did anyone else find the DVD a bit lacking?  The features were all right, but the case itself and make-up of the menu.  Maybe I'm overcritical.

I'm too happy to care, though.  SPOILER...I guess...The deleted scene where Joel and Clementine are kissing, and she starts doing something weird with her tongue, then they start kissing and laughing...then she fades away so he's just holding his head in the pillow depressed...that scene sent chills up my spine, why was it removed?  Also, when he called Naomi, then calls Clementine, that scene made more sense when she said "What took you so long" and it made more sense why he was so compelled to hurry and leave.  

All around, it was an amazing experience once again.

so i get off work tonight at 9:47 pm and i need to get this thing b/c i've already made plans to watch it with two friends who have already grilled some salmon and bought a case of stella artois and we have talked about this for ever so i haul ass to target (which closes at 10). i run-walk to the dvd section as a woman over the intercom informs all target customers that "the store will be closing in 5 minutes so please make your final selections and check out at the front registers" so i see the dvd on the display shelf and i grab it, relieved, mentally smiling as i calmy walk up front and pay...

... so i'm in my car and i'm looking for a lighter and i pick up the dvd off my front passenger seat because i think the lighter is sititng there underneath it and as i do so i see the following: "FULL SCREEN"

so yeah, um, what? it wasn't branded on the front cover like it's supposed to be damnit. it's stiched in a font hardly noticable on the edge.

so my plan tomorrow is to go to target and exchange it even though i watched it with my friends this very evening. i think i might pull the old "this won't play in my dvd player can i exchange it for another copy?" wish me luck.

and the movie is brilliant and i love it oh so much.

The deleted scene where Joel and Clementine are kissing, and she starts doing something weird with her tongue, then they start kissing and laughing...then she fades away so he's just holding his head in the pillow depressed...that scene sent chills up my spine, why was it removed?

I have no idea!
That scene broke my heart. It's too real, it's simply too fucking real. How you mess around, how much you love each other, how you break into laughter, how much that means...it's pure love right there.
When she licked his mouth I was like "how'd they know??"

For me, this film is more than amazing.

"FULL SCREEN"

When I went to Futureshop (Best Buy's Canadian brother) there were 4 rows of Eternal Sunshine. I'd say about 30-35 on display. As I'm sifting through 1 row, I see that they say "Full Screen". Next row.. hmm.. those are full screen too. Next row.. wait, this is the same as the first two rows. Okay, well, save the best for last! Last row!   ...         ... Those are full screen too. Nice joke, everyone.

So I go to a worker about it and he's about to reach out and sift through the DVDs, and I say, "don't ever bother. i already looked. don't waste your time." So he goes looking around.. while I stand around like a dope. He scans the computer and there's two listings of Eternal Sunshine, and he suspects (correctly) that the supplier didn't send in the Widescreen version.

But I drove around and bought it somewhere else.

And I love it oh so much too.

I loved it becaused in movies it's always a passionate, but mechanical kiss.  I loved how she improvised this thing with tongue and Joel just went with it, it's like she was integrating some new technique and they didn't stop to acknowledge it, but it was so...beautiful...

Especially when they broke into laughter, but didn't really stop.  It was just perfectly done.

[Gamblour.]

How'd you see that deleted scene if it's not on the dvd?

[matt35mm]

It is.

I think it was deleted because it became repetitive to have them kiss and then have her disappear.  I agree that it was lovely, but I think that the final cut of the movie has equally lovely moments that get the same idea across.  So basically it was probably a cut for efficiency in storytelling.
