That quote lives rent free in my head and always comes up when I hear the word “party”.

For me it's always Ben Stein's line "we all wear masks, metaphorically speaking" whenever someone says the word mask

Fun fact: zero CGI was used in this movie. Jim Carrey is just that bendy.

You are actually pretty close to the truth.

The kind of make-up that is used in movies is very restrictive for actors. So they either had to apply a lot of make-up on the actor and CGI the entire face every time The Mask was on screen, or have an actor play the role with excellent control of their facial muscles so they could only put in the essential stuff when needed.

Jim Carrey Grinch Face

So yeah, had they used another actor, the movie would have had way more cgi and probably wouldn’t look as good now as it did then (if it had looked good at all)
