Hopefully at the very least the Farrelly brothers understand the Stooges are at their best with situations involving Hitler and/or a monkey. And when they're cowboys.

mostly guys ..

i know from experience that most women find them to be nothing but annoying.

I find that to be the case as well.

I guess woman just don't see the humor in getting hit in the face with a hammer.

although my wife loves it when people fall down and get hurt.

most women dont like 'silly'

the silly voices, the rediculous premises, people behaving like lunatics ..


i think thats what really bugs women - but guys seemt to love it.

Well, that's because women clearly disapprove of humiliating Nazis. Shame on you, women. Bunch of anti-Semites. Soft, supple, anti Semites.

My God, what an awful, awful idea. I cannot imagine this working well at all.

The Farrelly brothers have found their replacement for Sean Penn, who dropped out of playing Larry in their big-screen revamp of The Three Stooges.

Director Peter Farrelly informed The Boston Globe that Emmy winner Paul Giamatti has signed on for the part. Unfortunately, they have now lost another Stooge in the process.

Jim Carrey had been announced as Curly -- a role that would have required the gangly funnyman to gain 50 lbs. -- but he is no longer going to play the part. No reason was given to the Globe, but filming on The Three Stooges was delayed considerably when Penn left the project in June citing personal reasons.

Oscar winner Benicio Del Toro remains set, however, to play Moe.

Glee’s greatest asset Jane Lynch has just signed up to transfer her inimitable talents in intimidation to the Three Stooges film.

Lynch has been drafted in to play Mother Superior in the movie, with Deadline reporting that she’ll appear in the film’s opening ‘episode’.

As directors the Farrelly brothers have previously stated, they’re forging The Three Stooges as a proper ode to the original TV show, with the film consisting of three distinct episodes. The first episode will trace the Stooges’ years at an orphanage.

Also previously, Sean Hayes signed on as Larry, Will Sasso as Curly, and Chris Diamantopoulos is still in negotiations to play Moe.

The Farrellys have taken their time getting this project off the ground, but with casting picking up speed, it looks like they’re finally succeeding where they were previously struggling.
