3 Stooges by the Farrelly Brothers

Are there ANY good fat comedy actors these days?

Man, Rosie O'Donnell has really let herself go.

You know something? That might actually be the best answer yet. If she wouldn't mind going bald.

Couldn't pay me to watch it.

I'm gonna do it. I'm going to pay you to watch it. Just wait.

I saw it when I looked up Sean Penn movies on IMDB for the sheep game. It has Johnny Depp as the rumored Moe, though that could change.

Jim Carrey wouldn't be a good Curly. Maaaaaaybe 15 years ago, but not now. Of course, 15 years ago it would have gone to Chris Farley, who only would have been perfect for it.

Fat guys are always funnier than skinny guys. Farley would have been great for this.

Jim Carey lost his touch.

One of the sad things about watching Yes Man (outside the fact I was watching Yes Man of my own volition) was that you could tell it was a move made for 1995 Carrey, but it starred 2008 Carrey. He's not the slapstick guy anymore (though he's going to be Scrooge in this winter's remake of A Christmas Carol, and I bet he's really good in that role).

Bucky: Horatio Sanz would be easily the third of three in that trio, but Curly's humor draws from short blasts of comedy, so he might be OK for that. Except Curly makes the Stooges go round, so putting someone like Sanz there would be like signing everyone on the All-Pro offensive lines, and Ryan Leaf.

Drew Carey's another fatty, but he's not really a slapstick guy. He could be Joe, who was useless and sucked. Right down his alley.

The really sad thing is they did make Yes Man in 1995. I believe it was called Liar Liar.

Are the Three Stooges the ugliest group of famous people ever? As far as entertainers go, they've gotta be top five. These were three ugly guys:

They'd get nowhere today looking like that. Even when the guys they got to replace Curly were ugly.

You could say Laurel and Hardy were ugly. I don't think Stan Laurel was an ugly guy. Just regular looking. But even if you agree that they were ugly, they are only two guys. I am talking about famous groups with more than two people. There's probably dozens and dozens of band you can say are ugly, but I'll bet even in those bands there was at least one good looking person. The Three Stooges were all butt ugly.

Guess this proves why MGM's future is about as bright as the Tribune Co's.

I mean sure it's a fantastic cast. But between the 2 directors and the 3 colossal prima donnas in the cast, it's never going to be made on time or on budget...if it's made at all.

This set has the potential to make Bonfire of the Vanities look as smoothly run as a McDonald's counter.

We're talking a GROUP, right?

Roseanne Barr.

We're finished, here.

What about Artie Lange as the fat one?

I have never seen him act but I find him very funny.

I am really, really into The Stooges.

There was a TV movie a few years back that was actually pretty good. Michael Chiklis of "The Commish" fame was a very credible Curly. The guy who plays Mary's boss in "In Plain Sight" on USA Network was Moe. The guy who was Charlotte's goofy-looking hubby on Sex and the City was Larry.

The best part was Moe and Larry walking down the beach, after Shemp died, long after Curly's death, when the disgrace, Joe Besser, was getting a paycheck to do the 18-minute shorts from Columbia that long lost their luster.

Larry said to Moe, 'two Stooges and a holdout.'

Chiklis had Curly's mannerisms down pat.

I think that cast would do fine. I'm more concerned that the Farrelly Brothers have lost much off their fastball.

Nice analogy, considering this board.

First thing I thought of:

Freddie Mercury was smashing!

And Spicoli would gnarlily dispute the notion that Penn can't do comedy. Plus, I'm sure the movie would show a lot of drama behind the scenes with the Stooges, so you would need people with a decent amount of chops to play the roles.

I say, Jasper, what comes after 75?

 

[Mystery_Meat]

76?

 

[dreunc1542]

That's the spirit!

Now would you kindly speak English and drop the vernacular.

Curly: Vernacular? That's a derby!

Farley was funny at times, but Farley could only do Farley. He would have been a terrible Curly.
