Why do the use known actors? Why not cast unknown actors. I am sure that the DR would be a great place to find a group of three people to fit the bill.

How about Corky, Nullifidian and Redneckville ???

Rogers stole this from my Nooner posts.

I'll never loan him the slinky blue dress again!

This is going to be terrible.

If you are referring to the movie, yes, I concurr. It is a sin to mess with the 3 Stooges.

Just threaten to put the pictures you took of that event on the Internet.

I wanna see Carey put on 80 pounds and lose 12 inches in height.

I did, but then he offered to pay for any expenses involved.....

Not bad, but I'd go with FranF2.5 as Larry.

How about Obama, Biden and Geithner?

Yeah, I may have taken the easy way out on Larry.

McCain, Palin, and Jindal.

The Three Scrooges.

It can't be any fucking worse than snipes, swayze and leguizamo as drag chicks, and that fucking movie was at #1 when it came out.....too wong foo I think it was called.

I really didn't think this thread would become a political thread, but I was sorely mistaken.

Back to the point of the thread, wouldn't have been easier to cast Carrey as Shemp?

#15,
Anything with the words "Sean Penn" here becomes political.

I love the stooges when I was a kid. Haven't seen them on TV lately. My dad use to call me and my two brothers the three stooges because we were constantly hitting each other.

That said, I can't imagine this being good.

How about Obama, Biden and Geithner?

A black stooge? How multicultural of you !!!

"Back to the point of the thread, wouldn't have been easier to cast Carrey as Shemp?"

Curly Joe would be better: He was the original inferior imitation of Curly.

Why would you want Rubber Face Carrey in this movie?

Sean Penn will win an Oscar. It's not even fair. He's been a stooge for years.

I think this is going to be a disaster just because, well, it's the 3 stooges. Even if it's great, and that's a hughe IF, it will fall short just by default.

as I said on the nooner

when someone last night posted a pic of pean in his chraracter from the pacino movie he looked pretty close to his character in real life clothes so that casting might not be so far out....
its carrey that will have to make the big leap.

Del Toro can do Moe I believe with no problems. Carrey over acts, but may be able to pull off a Curly reimagined. Penn is out of place which probably means he will be the best and we will all later say "damn he was good" as usual.

Casting aside, for me it just doesn't at all, any of them, seem "believeable" for ANYONE to play the Stooges. I will go into it expecting the worst & perhaps will be pleasantly surprised. Who knows?

Benicio del Toro's english is too poor to do Moe.
Every time he speaks I can't hear anything except Fred Fenster.

Why spend the money to cast Carrey, Penn and del Toro?

Dubya, Cheney and Rove would be way cheaper, and I'd bet more people would pay to see them humiliating each other.

Fred Fenster.

Fenster, Is that the guy in 'The Usual Suspects'?

I think this movie will suck because the writers will try to make it funny and the stooges were just funny, even without a script.

Here's what a 30 minute stooge script should look like.

Moe; Hey knuckleheads, who put varnish on my pumpernickle?

Curly and Larry pointing to each other; He did.

Moe pokes curly in eye with screwdriver, which bends the screwdriver and pulls a handful of larrys hair out.

curly goes, wup, wup wup wup and does the stooge moonwalk and tries to poke moe in the eyes with his fingers but moe puts up finger blocks. Curly sticks out his toungue and moe paints it with lead paint.

larry laughs and curly and moe both hit him in the head with pipe wrenches. then moe falls out the window. funny.

After hollywood gets done with this script, it will be sanitized, politicized and just not very funny.

Actually someone tried to make a 3 stooges kind of movie once. It was called Brain Donors, it had John Tuturro in it and it sucked too.

Yes, it is. Great fucking movie. One of the best of all times, and certainly of the 90's.

"Hand me the fucking keys, you cocksucker, what the fuck?"

at least do no harm... very risky. you want it to be good if not great. people will be extremely critical. already are!

all the best- here's to hoping they can make something special.

I would personally rather something original. Sick of all the remakes.

Oh see the little deer.

WHACK!!!

Penn has been Hugh Chavez's stooge for years.

"I used to work in a bakery as a pilot"
"A pilot?"
"Yeah. I used to take the bread from one corner and pilot in the other."

When I first saw Penn, I thought Chris Penn....which would have been a much better choice......

Penn is definately a stooge so he is perfect for the role - whichever one he gets.

The Far Side had a hilarious strip a few years ago:

The Three Stooges are house painters. They're downstairs in a drawing room throwing paint at each other as a woman descends a grand staircase a few steps from the bottom floor.

Sacrilege! What next? A Ritz Brothers revival?

"She was bred in old Kentucky... but she's only a crumb up here."

Moe: Good morning, sir. I'm the census taker. Are you married or happy?
Lady in House: (hits Moe in head with a vase, knocking him down the front steps)
Moe: Married.

yeah you are probably right but you will have to tell me about it.
there is no way I will ever put one penny into the pocket of the punk named penn so you can tell me if its any good

"Violent is the word for Curly"

Violence is a constant for mankind. There was violence prior to the rise of civilization, we have it now and you can bet there will be much more after the fall.

That said, be prepared; or be dead.

I thought the writer's strike was over a while ago.

I guess no one can come up with something new that is genuine and really funny so they have do a 'make-over' of a classic act.

I can see it now..........

Next up Abbot and Costello meet Laurel and Hardy for a chicken porn tag-team match against Frankenstein and the Wolf Man.

Music by the late great Tommy Tedesco

I'll kiss all Drudgers asses if these three actors will play Moe, Larry and Curly.

Common Hollywood practice deals to associate big name actors with future projects.

When the script of "Stuck on You" passed the initial phases of Hollylandia, it was suppose to star Jim Carrey and Woody Allen (brothers!!!!!!!!!)

I hope sean penn dies a horrible death and then spends eternity in hell.

When did we get so many Hallmark writers to join here?

I saw 'Milk' with sean penn and he did a very good job in that movie. I can't stand that little puke either but he has turned in some real acting performances in his days.

someone else that is like that is leonardo dicaprio and tom cruise. I really want to dislike these guys but they make some very entertaining movies.

I dislike them and wil not see their movies.

this movie ought to suck uber cock..

Poor lil' ChickenRaper, he's a sad little potato-faced tub of goo.

Letus,

I always pictured the chickenfucker more of a Montgomery Burns but dressed in dirty overalls and with fewer teeth.

I can understand the "don't fuck with a classic" part, what I don't get and never did is why their stupid schtick was considered funny...just plain retarded and repetitive if you ask me.

Hmmm... I scrolled posts 1 thru 66 and yup, you're right.

No one asked you.

Their movies were a continuation of their vaudeville routines. Most of the entertainers that were on the ground floor of the burgeoning motion picture industry came from vaudeville. Fields, Keaton, etc.

In this case, I'd rather they left the Stooges alone. The cast as named would be better suited for a Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers movie.
