Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Of course, the big question is, are the Farrelly Bros doing a bio-pic (ala the Mel Gibson produced TV one a few years back) or A Three Stooges movie?
Anyone who's seen Carlito's Way KNOWS Sean Penn can do Larry, at least looks-wise (although I couldn't stop seeing him as Hyde from That 70s Show).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
are the Farrelly Bros doing a bio-pic
No.
A Three Stooges movie?
Yes.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Not much of a Three Stooges fan, so I don't have the most credibility here. But I can't see their shtick working for an entire feature-length film. Slapstick works better in smallish doses.
On the other hand, if any current actor can channel the Three Stooges spirit, it's probably Jim Carrey.

I'm afraid to tell my brother about a Three Stooges movie. He'd probably stage a protest in front of the film studio. He'd think it sacrilige to try and recreate what he considers the most classic show on TV.

I forget, have we seen this yet?
The fact that the Jim Henson Creature Shop is doing the suit/animatronic work makes me feel about 100x better about this being made.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So remember how we were talking about Crank: High Voltage ?
THIS IS BASICALLY THE COOLEST INTERNET TRAILER EVER.

That, and I think Spike Jonez might just be the perfect choice for director.

That was awesome.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I think Monsters vs. Aliens is a fun movie for kids but it's nothing special.
