While back in the U.S. for Christmas, I saw Jim Carrey’s Yes Man. Classic Jim Carrey humor, and the twist is that Carrey’s deadbeat character Carl Allen promises to say yes to every request, every opportunity that comes his way in order to change his life. By doing this, he meets Allison and falls in love. Everything goes smoothly until Allison discovers Carl’s “Yes” regime.
After watching the movie, you feel like you want to say Yes to everything too. The message, a positive outlook to life helps you to take on challenges and risk, is a good one. However, not being a Jim Carrey fan, I wouldn’t watch this twice — once was enjoyable and enough.
Recently most of my movie-watching seems to be on the airplane. Here’s one formulaic romantic comedy (anti-social guy falls for pretty girl with emotional baggage, add twist of lemon–the ghosts) that managed to be enjoyably simple, witty, and charming. Great movie for a date or night at home with your bf/gf. Great music!
Watching the trailer though, seems like I saw a slightly edited version on the airplane…

Unfortunately, my camera ran out of batteries before I could finish, so I’ll have to do the last leg tomorrow. Before the batteries died though, I made it nearly to Tamachi from Uguisudani station. 23287 steps, 594 calories, 11.64 km. Stations passed along the way: Ueno, Okachimachi, Akihabara, Kanda, Tokyo, Yurakucho, Shimbashi, Hamamatsu-cho. I took so many photos today that I stopped and picked up another compact flash card! Day 3/4 video tomorrow, and entire Yamanote Line Walking video by next week.
