I might not see it in the theater, but that's not a judgement on quality... with movie and gas prices what they are, only the "event" movies get my vote now... or something like PROMETHEUS. A perfect Monster has no end...

Apr 16 12 9:24 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I went and saw THE THREE STOOGES this weekend with my 18 year old daughter, and we yucked it up plenty. Not a perfect film (reminded me a lot of THE BLUES BROTHERS), but a really nice homage to the boys. The most refreshing part of the whole experience was half the crowd was little kids, and boy, they were howling through the entire film. I really think it increased my enjoyment of the movie. Great to see and hear a new generation loving this goofy stuff. And yes, I am an "original" Stooge fan/nut.

Between the film experience and the ambiance of the old theater, it was worth 10X that. I kind of felt like Herman Munster sitting there, though.

Well see if word of mouth brings home big profits for the STOOGES. "I saw what I saw when I saw it!"

Yeah a two reeler. 16 minutes. The move was budgeted at $30M. I wonder what a 16 minute short would cost? How would you measure return on that? "I saw what I saw when I saw it!"

I got back from seeing this and thought it was good. I think it started to wear a little thin as it went along but it was a nice tribute. I thought the three leads were terrific as were the supporting players except for Hudson. I'm still a little confused as to why she is here. The jokes mostly worked. The comedy was flowing but the film at least kept a smile on your face. I think it's the best Three Stooges movie ever made though. While I haven't seen all of the original features this was certainly better than the ones I have seen.

Apr 16 12 2:28 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Well, Michael, if you'd have told me they were going to make a fresh Three Stooges movie in 2011/12 that was going to get a major studio release, I would have guffawed that idea myself. I don't think anything is impossible...except maybe real Stooge zombies.

Apr 16 12 2:55 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	The Stooge idea has been kicking around for a while. If anyone goes back and reads this thread it was clear that this was a horrible idea from the very start so at least the film did prove them wrong. The problem is that you have two busy directors, three busy actors and a lot of other busy people. It's going to be hard to get them together for a sequel let alone time for a short. The problem with the shorts in today's world is that there's just not that big of a market. In fact, zero market outside of Pixar who include them with their features (I think Disney does ever so often). Then there's the money issue of getting everyone together, how are they going to "sell" the movie, where they're going to get the money back and so on. If they spend $500,000 (a very low sum) on a two-reelers then how are they going to get the money back? They would have to show it before another Fox movie and you have to wonder if people would buy a ticket to another movie just to see this short. Back to the cast and crew, they have people to pay, they have other offers, other offers for more money and so on. Not too many people are going to be willing to pay $10+ for a 15-minute short. Especially if they don't want to see what it's playing with. Perhaps they did do a few bonus things that will be shown on a DVD release at some point.

Apr 16 12 7:23 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Saw it today and thought it was just terrific. I laughed a lot, and mostly at slapstick, which usually doesn't amuse me. Physical humor has to be really superlative to work -- as in Chaplin, Keaton, Lloyd. And slapstick is the poor neighborhood of physical humor. But most of the 'bits' in this movie were clever and clean and pulled off beautifully by the actors. The theatre was almost empty, maybe 7 or 8 people other than me, but we all laughed out loud a lot. There was a woman sitting a couple of rows back who was particularly amused whenever Moe called somebody a name. "Hey, Bulldog," Moe would say, and this woman would shriek with laughter. So of course all the rest of us laughed along with her. And somewhere in the midst of her laughter she'd sputter out, "Bulldog!" And we all laughed at that. Every time Moe used a funny name, pretty much the same routine. In spite of the tiny audience, it was a great example of why a movie should be seen with other people. Especially a comedy. I only wish this movie had been made 15 years ago when my sons were little. How I would have loved to have treated my boys to THE THREE STOOGES. And who would have thought it was even possible to imitate Larry Fine's voice? How do you even start to go about that? Extra kudos to Sean Hayes. edit: by the way, the 'bikini nun' was Kate Upton who was the cover girl for this year's Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition.

I guess I'd ask how did Columbia make money off the original Stooge shorts? Or how did Warner Brothers make money off Looney Tunes? Or the DePatie-Freleng PINK PANTHER cartoons I used to see in the theater as a kid? If Fox would spend $500,000 to make a 10 minute short, somebody's gotta go. I could make 10 of 'em for that!
