Ummmmm.....no!
Man, that looks bad.
Only one three stooges. But it is better than I thought it would be.

Only if you don't count Shemp, Curly Jo or Jo Besser! Otherwise the characterization of Curly had a few different incarnations which is basically what this film is trying to do with the group as a whole.
I don't think they were disrespectful at all. Not bad. No one will replace the originals, but this is not a bad tribute.
Agree with Dr. Madd - doesn't look bad.
Yes, I see it as a tribute instead of a replacement. This looks like a better homage/re-creation than "Van Helsing" was.
Will Sasso nailed it in my opinion but I would have liked to see it more as a documentary with their ups and downs and in black and white. I think it was done before for T.V. showing how Columbia screwed them over pretty badly.
A huge Stooge fan. I'll give this one a chance.

2000's "The Three Stooges," with Paul Ben-Victor as Moe, Evan Handler as Larry, Michael Chiklas as Curly, and John Kassir as Shemp. It was based on Michael Flemming's book "The Three Stooges: From Amalgamated Morons to American Icons." Mel Gibson was an executive producer. It was criticized for its harsh portrayal of Ted Healy, and exaggerating the team's financial situations after the Columbia shorts stopped filming.

That was a great movie, and the actors did a great job!
This actually looks pretty funny. i just hope they do not crew it up by usin g foul language and sex and drug jokes. Keep it true to the spirit of the boys and this couls be a great homage to the funniest comedy team in history!

I'm sure there will be some kind of fart gag at least once in the film if not a few times but that is just my conjecture.
Oh and here is the plot synopsis for those that don't know~
While trying to save their childhood orphanage, Moe, Larry, and Curly inadvertently stumble into a murder plot and wind up starring in a reality TV show.
I personally won't even be watching this when it makes its network television debut! If you want your Stooge fix both AMC and IFC air the shorts, it's a far better use of time in my opinion.
Unfortunately you are probably right. I have the DVD set of all the Columbia shorts, which I highly recomend-the shorts have never looked better, plus the shorts from 1953 onwards are presented widescreen, and the 2 3-d shorts are presented in both 2-d and 3-d. As for this movie, I will give it a shot, but I will probably be butterly disappointed, which is too bad as the 3 actors seem to really have the characters down from the footage shown here. They should have filmed this in black and white and set in the 40s. And why is Columbia not producing this film???
Quote from: RedKing on December 09, 2011, 02:10:50 PMAnd why is Columbia not producing this film???
Moe Howard was smart enough to retain all rights to the Stooges. The current rights-holder is a corporation split between the Howard and Fine estates. When the movie project was being shopped around, Columbia passed on it. The scuttlebutt is that Sony didn't want it unless they owned it.
I knew the families retained the rights, I just figured Coumbia would want it as historically they were the Stooges home studio. Stupid corporate nonsense.
Quote from: RedKing on December 09, 2011, 11:22:52 PMStupid corporate nonsense.
You want more? Ever wondered why Sci-Fi/Syfy never had a horror host show, even way back in their formative days? They wouldn't hire an existing host like Zacherley, Elvira, or Joe Bob Briggs, because they wouldn't own the character. And they didn't want to create a new one, in case it failed. The only reason they picked up MST3K after Comedy Central canceled it was 1.) it was the #1 most-requested show they didn't actually air, and 2.) then-president Bonnie Hammer loved it! Once the sale to NBC/Uni went through, a cost analysis showed that MST3K got the same ratings as unhosted movies that ran in the same timeslot. So, it got canceled again, and its Sat., 9pm slot became home to crapfests like "Frankenfish" and "Mansquito."
Retarded all around. This is also the reason Hijo del Santo did not join the WWE when they were importing Mexican wrestlers about 10 years ago. Vince Macmahon wanted to own the rights to the Santo persona and character.
I think we all know how bereft of vision and common sense Hollywood is these days. We're lucky we didn't end up with that Sean Penn/Jim Carrey/Benecio del Toro Stooge flick from just a year or two back!

Quote from: Monsters For Sale on December 18, 2011, 05:19:15 AMI'd rather be water-boarded.
That's a bit extreme. I know Stooge purists aren't going to like the iconic three filtered through today's comedy sensabilities, but the Stooges did try to keep current with pop culture trends throughout their careers. I'm willing to give it a chance, until I see something that just screams at me, "The Three Stooges would never do that!"
I'm also a big Stooges fan - since childhood- and I don't think I can sit through this movie :(
I think I would leave the theater feeling angry, and I don't want to ever associate anger with my precious Stooges! I don't recognize any of the actors, and even though they may look and act like the great Stooges, the storyline looks vacant and irritating. The Three Stooges are timeless and brilliant, so I don't understand why this movie is needed! I have watched MANY Stooges marathons, but I can't imagine sitting through 5 minutes of that movie. I'm usually open minded, but I just have a bad feeling about it.
If it keeps the franchise alive and the opens the eyes of a new generation, I'm all for it. It's no worse than anything Robin Williams ever did.

I own Paramount's Stooges box sets all though the Curly years. I don't hate Shemp, I just have never been able to love him.
I have many years of original Stooges shorts to watch whenever I want to - I REALLY don't need this movie!
I have watched the made-for-TV biography 2 or 3 times. If they ever wanted to re-make THAT, I would give it a fair chance. But THIS abomination? - NEVER!
If it is done by talented people, in a spirit of affection for the original actors (and both of those things look like they may be the case, from the trailer) -
- why the hate?
-Craig
I think this looks as promising as at least half the comedic crap coming out of Hollywood. Like THE WOLFMAN and APES, if it is an entertaining tribute, I'll be satisfied.
I always wanted to see Arte "Laugh In" Johnson play Moe, and of course Billy West play Larry Fine in a Stooge movie. Not sure who for Curly, but too late anyway.
I'm a fan of the shorts, It certainly won't live up to the originals
Except Arte Johnson is 85.
Quote from: Fester on February 26, 2012, 04:23:12 PM

Yeah, I know, but I had the idea in the 1980s. He'd have been fine then. I mean Howard. He just always reminded me of Moe, physically.
I guess he could play Old Moe in flashback/flashforward scenes!
I'm sorry. I love the 3 Stooges and DO HATE poor copies----------but my eyes are tearing after watching that clip. I LOVED it. I think as soon as I here the 'goink!' eye-poke noise, I lose it! They LOOK and SOUND pretty damned good. And it takes a lot for me to say that----because I'm a Stooges fan and am pretty stingy with my approval.
I don't know what it is about the trailer-------but I want more.
As for the Stooge snobs among us: If it's bad it's bad---and I'll BURY it if it is bad---but to NOT give it a shot? REALLY? It looked at least good enough to give it a shot.
And let's be honest... what 3 Stooges 'Storyline' ever mattered? In my house, we cared about the short just having enough carpentry tools. And the eye-poke total. That's what mattered. I also liked Larry getting his hair ripped out.
And now pardon me while I go watch that trailer again... and it has NOTHING to do with the HOT nun! ::)
A new-twist Stooges "game" (if you can call it that) we play is Watch Larry. If you tune out most of everything-just enough to follow the plot-and concentrate on Larry, it can be a side-splitting experience. 90% of his schtick is reaction to the other two or the situation at hand, and when he does say something, it's freakin' hilarious.

That's fantastic. We would watch the guy who just got hit for a few extra moments----sometimes you could see that he really got hurt, but they just kept going. Once, Shemp burned his hand on an iron----and he held it curled up close to his side well after the gag was done. I had NO doubt he really burned it.
One thing I noticed about Larry was that he had EVERYONE'S lines memorized, word for word. I noticed that when the 3 boys were gathering around in a huddle, going back and forth-----Larry was mouthing EVERYONE'S lines until it was HIS turn to speak. What a PRO. If you hadn't noticed it before (though I'm sure you have), watch for it. It IS hilarious. ;)

And therein lies the pointlessness of it all, the 3 Stooges are dead, this is just a cheap imitation!! I probably (and that's a big probably) wouldn't mind this if they were doing characterizations of the characters instead of characterizations of the actors themselves; Much like Shemp, Curly, Curly Joe and Joe were all doing the buffoon of the group but in there own style! You could easily do the Stooges three personality types without trying to be Moe, Larry and Curly the actors.

Opinions vary. From the Urban Dictionary:
Snob
A snob is someone who thinks they've got better taste than others in most things; especially in music, film and books.
Snobs of this kind, frown upon bestsellers, blockbusters, and pop music. They regard themselves intellectuals and think of people who follow the crowd as philistines.
Matt: Hey man, I'm going to the flicks tonight with Emma and a couple of her work friends, wanna come?
Giles: What are you watching?

Giles: Nope, thanks. I couldn't sit for two hours watching crap.
Matt: Suit yourself snob! Sorry. I just found that funny. No offense, Erin. To each his own. ;D

I'm a Stooge fan from day 1. Inherited it from Dad. Have a huge box set of Stooge films about 6 feet from me as I write. I passed on the Stooge gene to Jordan, and I'm nearly ready to begin Jonah on his Stoogification (he's not ready until he can instinctively and immediately block a double eye-poke with the side of his hand). I'm no slouch, and I know and love the Stooges as well as anyone here.
That said, that trailer is KILLER, and I'm front row with Jordan the minute this opens. I guaran-damn-tee that this movie will look like Citizen Kane next to Dark Shadows after Burton gets finished ruinin.........I mean, adding his unique spin to it .

Casting an actor because they look/act like another actor (Unless it is for a biography or a spoof.) is just about the dumbest thing I've ever heard....and it just so happens to have been a prerequisite for this movie! I'd see nothing wrong with using Pierce's designs though, as long as the movie is worth it! My question is would those same genre fans be clambering for Dracula, The Wolf Man, Frankenstein, etc. to be cast in a film where they find themselves part of a reality tv show, complete with "stars" from Jersey Shore; Which by the way is the concept behind this Stooge-tastrophe! I think not!!
But even still it doesn't matter what the plot of this is, it is the fact that they are just copying Moe, Larry and Curly instead of being their own Stooges!! Shemp never tried to become Curly or vice versa, Joe Besser nor Joe DeRita tried to be Shemp or Curly they took the buffoon caricature and made it their own and for me made the Stooges (no matter the line-up) the Stooges!! The same thing can be said for Christopher Lee's take on Dracula, it's what made him great and instead of being in Lugosi's shadow rose above and made his Dracula just as important and outstanding as Lugosi's portrayal!
You can look at many cartoons for examples of this as well, from Disney to Looney Tunes to Walter Lantz to Hanna and Barbera, etc and find all the same character types but represented in different ways, it's their look, sound, mannerisms that make them stand out and become icons all in their own right.
I suppose for just mindless "entertainment" then this faux-Stooges may pass the time but in the long run this won't pass the test of time...This one will be easily (Hopefully for those that see it!) forgotten. If my presumptuous hatred for this refurbished-inept piece of "celluloid" makes me a snob then so be it! :) I'll save my money for G.I. Joe Retaliation!

No problem. It MUST be incredibly rewarding to perform well and hear it from people who love
how you are doing what you are doing-------almost as much as YOU love

I don't get the chance for that to happen as often as I'd like... and words don't pay the rent...

For most real Actors (as opposed to just fame seekers), the hope that our work will give that kind of feeling to our audience is why we do what we do.

Never said I was a huge fan of DeRita or Besser but at least they did their own thing (whether good or bad) and didn't just copy Curly or Shemp, how is that faux? Especially if you don't consider this new group of Stooge wannabes as faux, they are the very definition!
This whole concept/movie is just Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! I don't see how anyone supporting/defending this can be against any remake/reimagining, no matter how dread awful it turns out to be!
I will devote April 13th, 2012 to watching as much of the real Stooges (1934-1966) as I can! I just hope the theaters you guys/gals go to at least have some fresh popcorn and cold sodas! :D

How BIG of a fan would you be? On a scale of 1-10, with '10' being "I think they're awesome" and '1' being "I want to push them down a flight of stairs"-----I'm a (-)5. ;D
