This looks like it'll be a pretty sweet movie. Jim Carrey has always been one of my favorite actor/comedians.

If 42 is the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything; what is 23

Hrmph. I'll give it a shot but I've always thought he was at his best in dumb comedy.

I might find the concept too annoying, but it might be good. I really hope it's a movie about a guy being paranoid and he doesn't open the gates to heaven or hell with the number 23.

Well if you don't know why 42 is the answer to life, the universe and everything, Then I guess you don't know what the question was.

Do you think Douglas Adams chose those numbers randomly, or had no real intent behind them? If so, you probably aren't familiar with that author. In it's simplest form, the book [Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy] is a story of probability and chance.

The question of Life, the Universe, and Everything?

How many dots are on a pair of dice, because life is a gamble.


That leaves 23 as... useless. The wiki article cited is so full of fallacies and things that don't have any real foundation other than forced coincidence, playing with numbers until you have a 23 and then pointing and saying "SEE WHAT I DID!?"

From the Wiki entry linked:

"W, the 23rd letter of the Latin alphabet has 2 points down, 3 points up."
"Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species was published in 1859: 1 + 8 + 5 + 9 = 23"
"Hurricane Katrina, considered to be the costliest and one of the five deadliest hurricanes to ever strike the United States, was declared an official hurricane by the National Hurricane Center on August 23, 2005. August is the 8th month, and 8 = 2^3."

If you look hard enough to find something, you'll find it, reguardless of whether it exists or not.

I never thought Jim Carey would play in a role like this, but it seems like he'd do a great job after watching the trailer. The concept seems interesting too.

Oh, and not to mention the tats that Jim have look really sweet :D

Let's make a movie about somebody going nuts over Kennedy/Lincoln similiarities. That's all I could think of during the trailer.

Have it be Samuel L. Jackson, that'd be even more funny.
