tennesseeboy Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 I'm impressed. However it may be a little too much to expect. Its like trying to re-do the Godfather or Potemkin. There are some roles that the great actors make their own and anyone trying to reprise the role does so at great risk. Hamlet after Olivier? suicide. I'm sorry...Curly Larry and Moe were, when all is said and done, Curly, Larry and Moe. It would be a shame to see three quite good actors go down trying to step into the shoes of the giants.
The Poojer Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 but they said it wasnt a bio pic, rather a movie about the antics around the stooges...and with the ferrely brothers at the helm, and these 3 actors tapped, i bet it could be a very interesting movie I'm impressed.

plenzmd1 Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Do oyu know I have had the tivo set to record the Three Stooges, any Three Stooges except the animated one, for two years now and nary a one has come up. What is wrong with the world when you can no longer watch the Stooges on TV
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 i think id rather see Drew Carrey as Curly rather than Jim Carrey I'd rather see them both banned from the entertainment industry.
buckeyemike Posted March 25, 2009 Posted March 25, 2009 Why does Hollywood always feel the need to mess with a good thing? And the Three Stooges are one of the best things of all. You can find some clips on YouTube.

Hit the nail on the head! i think id rather see Drew Carrey as Curly rather than Jim Carrey Better choice! Why does Hollywood always feel the need to mess with a good thing? And the Three Stooges are one of the best things of all. You can find some clips on YouTube. It's like trying to re-make Casablanca, Gone With The Wind or a Marx Brothers movie. Those guys were it. They were the comedy, they didn't embellish the script they were the script. People may have written words for them but nobody could ever make it work like they did. Legalize Shemp!
/dev/null Posted March 25, 2009 Author Posted March 25, 2009 Yet another dev/null post, without an ounce of description.... Talk to me, dev, talk to me. I can help. Thread title: Larry, Moe, and Curley Sub title: Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, and Jim Carey wasn't descriptive enough?

OT, but Leon Schlesinger wouldn't let his cartoonists make anti Hitler cartoons because he didn't know who would win this thing.

Note that this was made in 1941, before the US was involved in the war, and the year after "The Great Dictator", IMO one of the best films ever made, was released. And, as most of us know, Larry, Curly and Moe were all Jewish.

Too bad the film had a luke warm response back then
Marv's Neighbor Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 I'd rather see: Barney Frank (Curley), Chris Dodd (Moe) and Geithner (Larry). We all know who could play Buckwheat, but that's a whole different story.

The Dean Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 This has disaster written all over it. I hope I'm wrong about that.
Cugalabanza Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Actually, I think this has a chance to be very funny. I can't think of anyone better than the Farrelly Bros. to pull this off. I can really see Benecio Del Toro being great as Moe--it kind of makes me laugh just picturing it. I am of course a little worried about Sean Penn once again going "full retard."
