consider me jealous

OMG! That would be a wonderful persn to meet.

As a yute, I thought "Crimes of Passion" was the hottest movie ever.

Moonliner · 03-25-2009, 06:38 AM

Damn, I had to go all the way back to 1980's "Altered States" to find something of his I've actually seen.

I really need to get out more.

Right. Can I just take a dagger to my eyes right now and save myself the torment to come?

The New THREE STOOGES Are Penn, Jim Carrey, and del Toro.

I really can't say that it matters who takes this on, it has got to be the worst thing since the movie Dune.

Jim Carrey, okay. He can definitely do slapstick and he'd be fine as a Stooge. But Curly? Is he gonna wear a fat suit? Would that not impede his physicality?

Benicio Del Toro? Um, no. Moe is not a psychopathic killer. The only qualification Benny of the Bull has to play Moe is black hair.

Sean Penn (I originally thought you meant Penn Jilette) as Larry!?!?! Jeebus zombie christ on a pogo stick, how much crack were they smoking when they thought Sean Penn could play a Stooge? Sure, he's a talented dramatic actor, but not a gifted comedian, let alone someone who can handle slapstick.

Please tell me this is all just someone's idea of a practical joke.

Is "Being John Malkovich" any good? Because so far, with the exception of some really amazing puppetry, I'm bored. Wondering if I should bother with the rest of the dvd.

LSPoorEeyorick · 03-28-2009, 12:06 AM

I suppose that depends on taste, but yes. Yes, I think it's terrific.

flippyshark · 03-28-2009, 05:34 AM

Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed being John Malkovich, and I want to see lots more of that amazing puppetry!

Strangler Lewis · 03-28-2009, 06:08 AM

For me, like all Charlie Kauffman films, "Being John Malkovich" wore out its welcome in the ending.

As for Jim Carrey playing Curly, he's got a tough road to hoe to make me forget Michael Chiklis. I admired his Curly immensely.
