BATMAN FOREVER CO-STAR TOMMY LEE JONES HATED JIM CARREY

Jim Carrey has confirmed long-standing rumors of a clash with his Academy Award-winning co-star Tommy Lee Jones during filming of Batman Forever in 1995. Carrey and Jones played the villains The Riddler and Two-Face, respectively.

“I cannot sanction your buffoonery,” Jones once said to Carrey during filming of Batman Forever in 1995.
Carrey, who stars in the upcoming film Dumb and Dumber To, appeared on the Howard Stern Show to promote his new movie and related his encounter with Jones at a restaurant the night before filming a big scene in the Riddler’s lair, according to US Magazine.  

“I think what happened was, I was really looking forward to working with Tommy because he’s a fantastic actor and he still is to me. I mean he’s amazing, but he was a little crusty, he was a little crusty,” Carrey said.

Carrey alleges the animosity stems from the original Dumb and Dumber movie opening on the same weekend as Tommy Lee Jones' film, Cobb. Dumb and Dumber would go on to gross $16 million that weekend compared to Cobb’s $64,000.

“I went up to say hi and the blood drained from his face, in such a way that I realized that I had become the face of his pain or something,” Carrey said. “He got up, kind of shaking, and hugged me and said ‘I hate you. I really don’t like you.”
“He did not want to work with me at that point.”

Carrey did not say whether the actors have since reconciled.
Dumb Dumber To is set to hit theaters on November 14, 2014.

BACK FROM THE DRAWING BOARD, PART 2: REPURPOSED STAR WARS TECHNOLOGY JAWAS AREN'T THE ONLY ONES TO SEE VALUE IN OLD DROIDS. LEARN HOW STAR WARS CREATORS HAVE REUSED FORGOTTEN CONCEPTS FOR FILM AND TV! The previous installment of Back from the Drawing Board discussed the various aliens that were recycled from unused concept art. This time we will look at droids and starships that were originally designed for the movies, but ended up in other sources. Bring in the Droids, Again Some of the most obvious examples can be found in Star Wars Rebels, which draws heavily from the unused concept art of Ralph McQuarrie. One of the main characters, Chopper (1), finds his origin in conceptual designs from our other favorite astromech, R2-D2. A different design was used directly in West End Games’ Cynabar’s Fantastic Technology to depict the P2 astromech droid (3). Another iconic design by McQuarrie, the one intended for C-3PO, also ended up in Rebels in the form of the RQ pro

MEET THE GEONOSIS JEDI GET TO KNOW THE JEDI WARRIORS WHO WERE THE FIRST TO FIGHT THE CLONE WARS! When Obi-Wan Kenobi got captured on Geonosis by the powerhouses of the Secessionist Movement, Mace Windu decided to lead a task force of 200 Jedi. Meanwhile, Yoda left for the Kamino system where the Republic would make use of the mysterious clone army that had been ordered about a decade ago by Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas. The participation of the Jedi on Geonosis would prove to be an omen of what the Clone Wars would bring for the guardians of peace and justice. The battle showed what the Jedi were and also what they weren’t. The Jedi were compassionate beings who didn’t hesitate to rescue a fellow Jedi in need and who did anything they could to protect the Galactic Republic. But the Jedi had evolved into diplomats and keepers of the peace instead of hardened battlefield commanders. The outcome of the Battle of Geonosis would be disastrous for the Jedi Order, as about 170 of the 200 Jedi

RON HOWARD DISCUSSES THE FORCES THAT SHAPE HAN IN SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY ON THE STAR WARS SHOW

Han Solo has been a fan favorite since we first met him and his walking carpet of a copilot inside the wretched hive that is the Mos Eisley cantina.  And when Director Ron  swtor credits   Howard takes us back to Solo’s earlier days in Solo: A Star Wars Story later this month, he promises to examine some the scoundrel’s multifaceted personality and explore what — and who — shaped him into the hero we already know and love. This week on The Star Wars Show, Howard sits down to talk about Han’s enduring appeal, which all comes down to the character’s  swtor credits   duality. “He’s a great guy and he hates that about himself!” Howard says. “The idea that he’s out for himself, he’s got an outlaw spirit and code on one hand, but he can’t quite live it and walk it (because) he doesn’t entirely feel it.” Bonus: The good-natured director didn’t just talk business while he was here. Check out the video below to see  swtor credits  Howard as he tries his luck playing our original game “
