Last night Monkeybone was on teevee. I saw most of it (edited, of course). The movie was so-so, but what really stuck with me is how uncomfortable I was watching Brendan Fraser when the Stu body was inhabited by Monkeybone. I don't know if it's because he's a super actor and I was supposed to be creeped out, or if I'm just so used to him playing essentially noble hero roles that I just couldn't buy him in this role. I haven't seen anything else he's been in since the Mummy Returns, I don't think, so maybe he does all kinds of roles now and I just don't get it. But normally leather pants activate my 'oooh! it's a bad boy!' salivary glands, and this time I nearly turned the channel.
(On the other hand, it was the only time I've ever found Chris Kattan to be even slightly watchable.)
