Well, the trailer for the Three Stooges movie is here. Thoughts?
UPDATE: I was talking to Sal and he was saying how he had to stop watching this after the nun in the bikini bit (super model Kate Upton!). I just rewatched it and I’m now obsessed with how the trailer editors cut together two completely different scenes from that part which makes it now appear like there’s a community swimming pool just sitting on the side of a highway.
Okay, Jon, you win. I’ll reblog this, even though I told you specifically two minutes ago that I wouldn’t. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?
Yeah, I stopped watching when Kate Upton appeared in a habit-themed bikini. Although I agree with Ryan, who found Larry’s “headache” bit funny. Other than that, I mean, this looks horrible, right? This is our latest national disgrace, yes?
Who knows, maybe it will be good and true to the the stooges. I have little faith, though, given the Farrelly Brothers’ recent track record. It’s sad to me that the comedy team that (at least partially) created the character of Ernie McCracken, maybe the greatest comedic villain of all time, is now responsible for stuff like this.
I’m not even a Three Stooges fan - at all - but I find this horrible.
When I heard there was a Three Stooges movie coming out I assumed it was a fictionalized retelling of the story of their lives and careers. Like Chaplin or something. But this is … a fake Three Stooges movie. They can’t make real ones any more. The Three Stooges were not characters, they were a vaudeville act and those were their real names. You can replace the actor who plays James Bond all you want, he’s just a character. The Stooges aren’t characters and you can’t replace them!
Is somebody going to do a fake Marx Brothers movie next? Then a fake Woody Allen movie? What is going on here?
This is weird and bizarre.
There was a fake Marx Brothers movie. It was called Brain Donors, and it was a Zucker Brothers movie starring John Turturro in the Groucho role. Though it’s one of my favorites, it’s not the best movie ever.
There also was a Three Stooges biopic that was done for television about 10 years ago that told their life story.
At an rate, I am uncomfortable with mixing the Three Stooges with pop culture and tits, but I guess that’s the remix, repurpose, rebuy culture we have. If it was popular once, people will buy it again.
(Also, I will probably see this movie by myself)
