Fans of Dumb & Dumber have already been given a great treat with photos from Jeff Daniels and Jim Carrey featuring themselves in full wardrobe, reprising their roles as Harry Dunne and Lloyd Christmas in Dumb & Dumber To. The comedy sequel takes place 20 years after the events of the original 1994 film, and by the time it hits the big screen next year, that's how much time will have passed. But it turns out Carrey and Daniels aren't the only characters returning. The Farrelly Brothers just posted a photo through their Twitter account showing a grown up Billy from 4C, the blind kid who bought Harry's headless parakeet. Here's a grown up Brady Bluhm back in Dumb & Dumber To as Billy in 4C from Twitter: Dumb & Dumber To is directed by Peter & Bobby Farrelly (Dumb & Dumber, There's Something About Mary) and written by Sean Anders & John Morris (Sex Drive, She's Out of My League...

"If all of the people who hate 'Ishtar' had seen it, I would be a rich woman today." So said Elaine May in 2006, two decades after the Warren Beatty-Dustin Hoffman comedy she wrote and directed had become synonymous with "extravagant flop." (The film grossed $14.4 million on a $55 million budget.) Up until May 22, 1987 (the day it opened in theaters, 25 years ago), advance buzz on "Ishtar" was contentious; it was either a brilliant comic masterpiece or a textbook case of overreach on the part of two giant Hollywood egos to whom no one could say, "No." After the film's release... same thing. To this day, the movie is roundly mocked for its alleged awfulness (often by people who've never seen it), while a passionate cult of fans insists it's a lost work of misunderstood genius that never got its proper due from critics or moviegoers. The truth lies somewhere in the middle.

Is Airplane! the funniest film ever? John Patterson talks to the three nobodies from Milwaukee whose movie sparked a comedy revolution

"She said to me once, when I was fooling around in class, 'Zucker, I know one day I'll be paying good money to see you make me laugh, but right now, get your ass back in that chair and crack that book!'"
She was right. This badly behaved schoolkid would go on to reinvent Us screen comedy with a movie called Airplane!, which he co-directed and co-wrote. Today, speaking in Manhattan, David is feeling a little rough. He was out the night before, it turns out, celebrating the film's 30th anniversary with the movie's co-creators, his younger brother Jerry and their lifelong friend Jim Abrahams. "I just couldn't get out of bed this morning,...
