Saw this for the second time, first time was when it was out in theaters, and it seemed like an entirely different movie this outing. Darker, more dreary, not only concerning the short, strange life of Andy Kaufman, but somehow it was like there was a looming cloud of tragedy over Jim Carrey too, present-day meta-knowledge, I suppose. I didn't enjoy the film this time, though I do think it deserves in the good movies category, as it's still a well-made, worthy motion picture.

I love Man on the Moon. Carrey did a decent job. There's a documentary on it, might still be on Netflix

I really wasn't aware of Kaufman before this movie.  Maybe I'd seen him on something, but he wasn't really a name on my radar.  I did a documentary on him before the movie came out, and he seemed like a fascinating guy.

At least, that's what Gary Busey told me...

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
