Re: The Three Stooges
The 'forced' appearances were in full bloom even in the Curly days once they became a hit, got over the two dollar budget, and had use of the major studio lot. It had already become fomula-ized. But still funny!

No Joe allowed!
Everything is archived on home recorded vid, nothing but Curly and Shemp w/Moe and poor ol' Larry, that guy took gas!
In about '65, while driving down Santa Monica Bl. (in Hollywood...), we saw Larry pulled over and getting a ticket. He was not happy.

Re: The Three Stooges
How about a remake of The Curly Shuffle?

I remember how so many folks were prepared to hate Robert Downey Jr.'s Chaplin before they even saw it. And yet, those skeptics came out of the theater as Downey converts.
It'll be interesting to see if Penn, Carrey, and del Toro can develop the same kind of chemistry that the Howard brothers and Larry Fine had, which is very critical in making slapstick style comedy something that will truly be funny to a mature audience instead of fodder for the kiddies who think that pie-throwing is hilarious, in and of itself.

Cup cakes, twinkes, and Ho Ho's could be used, but pies still exist.

Re: The Three Stooges
I can't see Moe as a quiet assassin and Larry having a mental breakdown. But, I liked the Farrelly brothers' movies. So, it's going to have crude humor. What's going to be in the pies during a pie fight?

I can see Jim Carrey as Curly. But, Sean Penn and Benicio del Toro are too serious for these roles.

Re: The Three Stooges
THE THREE STOOGES shorts were a popular feature in our Saturday morning "Mickey Mouse Club" movies back in the old days. Along with the main feature (western or John Wayne war flick) and the cartoons.
A lot of stuff gets re-cycled these days: movies, tV programs, music. Is there a limit on original ideas?

Re: The Three Stooges
From the website that was referenced in the base note:
The film is not a biopic but a fictional treatment that maintains the Stooges' gleeful slap schtick updated for a modern milieu.

You know what I'd like to see come from Hollywood? An original idea.

Re: The Three Stooges
Moe was a serious guy, he never told jokes and he was always the one slapping the other two guys (mostly Curly) when they said or did something stupid.
Larry was a character who was mostly in the middle.
