Michael Chiklis - The Screengrab

Early April Fool’s Day? “Three Stooges” Casting Bombshell

As we posted here a while back, the Farrelly Brothers have a Three Stooges movie in the works. This is not a biopic of Moe and Curly Howard and Larry Fine, as we’ve previously seen with the 2000 TV movie starring Paul Ben-Victor, Michael Chiklis and Evan Handler, but rather a new comedy “built around the antics of the three characters that Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Howard played in the Columbia Pictures shorts.” Who will play the Stooges this time around? The answers may shock and astonish you!

Morning Deal Report: We Can't Stop the Three Stooges Revival

The Farrelly brothers are doing their best to ensure that we never go to the movies again. Last week we reported their involvement in the farting dog movie. Now Variety reports that Bobby and Peter Farrelly “will renew their quest to channel the comic mayhem of the Three Stooges into a contemporary comedy.” If visions of Michael Chiklis as Curly are dancing (and slapping) in your head, Peter Farrelly would like to reassure you. “"It’s not a biopic. It takes place in present day, and they look, dress and sound exactly like the Stooges…When the economy started turning, we felt like the world could use a Stooges slapfest.” You know, he’s right. I do need a movie that won’t tempt me to spend any money.

Add another project to the 57 or so Steven Soderbergh already has in the works.

Dennis Hopper Beats Joe The Plumber To Death With Pipe

Okay...I'll admit that headline is a tad negative and misleading. But isn't that what campaign season's all about?

Besides, according to the terrorist-and-fact-loving elitists at The New York Times, Joe isn't really a plumber and he isn't actually named Joe. In fact, based on photographic evidence, he may even be Michael Chiklis.

And Dennis Hopper, despite a history of crazy behavior like almost but not quite blowing himself up with dynamite, doesn't really go around like Frank Booth randomly bludgeoning people he doesn't agree with (or even people who symbolize people he doesn't agree with)...

...but, surprisingly, the annoying hippie nutjob turned annoying neo-conservative also won't be voting for McCain this Election Day, no matter how many folksy plumber stories the Republican candidate pulls out of his funny Maverick hat.

In other words: Dennis Hopper's turning Blue, and we don't mean Velvet.
