    Just remembered the "Infinifilm" dvd of The Number 23 (2007, starring Jim Carrey) and got so pissed off. The "Infinifilm" part just meant that every 30 seconds an annoying ass notification would pop up on screen to show you special features that would pause the movie and was unable to be turned off

    Film #63 for 2026 is The Number 23 (2007), which gets my rare F grade. It's inconceivably stupid on every level. There is no point in parody; you can't make it look any more ridiculous than it manages on its own.

    the movie in question was The Number 23 which I guess I expected to be bad but I didn't really expect it to be as weird as it was? like it isn't actually about what the premise might imply it's about, it's about something totally different?

    This piece starts off with and uses an image from The Number 23, which is a movie I think only 23 people have seen. It's a weird little film, I am not even sure you can call it "good". But anyway this construction also makes me think of other stylistic devices used by AI, like em-dashes.

    He did a Jim Carrey ranking. And one film was titled, The Number 23. And how 23 was everywhere. And so Schaff played along with that film’s premise. As he said it, “imagine 67 as a horror movie.”

    I loved Eternal Sunshine and The Truman Show, but ... The Number 23. Partly the film itself (the stylistic choices were awesome, if the script was a little iffy at times), partly 'cos Carrey showed a new flavour of unhinged and did it well, and partly 'cos someone has to love that movie.
