We’re thinking it’s one of those movies that was so fun to make and it felt like a serial all along because I had all these other ideas. I wanted to make a longer, bigger movie, but it still turned out perfect the way it was."Then, he added "It wouldn’t be until two or three years – it’s going to take a long time. They’re big movies and we would want to do it right. If we do a sequel, it has to be as good or better than the original. The studio is right behind us. We don’t want to crank out a lame ass sequel.

Me, Myself and Irene : Videomaker Magazines' (www.videomaker.com) editor Larry Lemm sent this e-mail to us. The e-mail is about the latest Jim Carrey film Me, Myself and Irene. Here is the e-mail

I was poking around your site looking for news on the De Niro Film "15 Minutes" (the magazine I work for signed a release to have the magazine in "some De Niro movie where he plays a camcorder wielding detective"), and saw that you have a Jim Carrey section.

While I'm not much of a Jim Carrey fan, I am a fan of the band Phish. There was recently a big closing party for the cast and crew at Phish Guitar Player Trey Anastasio's barn, and Jim joined the band for a couple of songs.

Here is the setlist from http://www.phish.net/tour/#19990624 :

The 5th Ball - Summer Tour Rehearsal, with Jim Carrey 06/24/99 The Fifth Ball (a.k.a. Carreystock) - Trey's Barn - near Burlington, VT

I: Farmhouse, Moma Dance, Hey You*#, The Meatstick > Come Together*

II: Get Back on the Train, Windora Bug, Dirt, Twist > Jam, Bug, Saw It Again, Rock-A-William

* - with Jim Carrey on vocals

# - by Bachman Turner Overdrive

From Julia's post to rec.music.phish:

"Private show at Trey's barn - a mix between some Phish pholk, and the filming crew of Jim Carrey's newest movie, which is being filmed in Burlington. This is the same Jim Carrey that was in Truman Show, Ace Ventura, etc.. Mike, of course, had the grand idea of pulling together music and film, and everyone, film crew especially, had a great time." Thanks to Kevin Monty, as well as Julia Mordaunt for her post to rec.music.phish, Phillip Zerbo for confirmation, and "Margaret" for additional notes.
