[Notebook]

Just noticed there is a remake or some attempt at the second most funny act ever:

I only really know the Stooges.

Music is good, not as funny though!

Perhaps its lost in time, they were the best slapstick act I thnk?

Oh, that show is funny. I can't wait to actually see the movie. The original show has to be better though.

The originals are always better. Generally, remakes suck. Since my wife and I started watching older movies, we've come to the conclusion that there's nothing past 1947 that's any good. No honorable role models either. Just trashy actors.

Tricky comment Fisherman, good remakes of The Wages of Fear

and Cape Fear
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055824/

come to mind.

Just noticed the originals are quite modern!

What always threw me off as a kid was the absence of Shemp from most episodes. And I see from Wiki that every stooge died before I was born, even "Curly Joe" just a few months before.

Yes, back when everyone that had real rights was white and male.:dry:

Oh please. They didnt even know how to make a proper movie until the 1970s.

AMC had a two hour block of old Stooge tv shorts, my favorite would have to be Disorder in the Court.

As a film producer yourself I assume that statement was tongue in cheek. If not, I suspect that at least a few of the following may choose to disagree with you:

John Ford, Kubrick, Lean, Welles, Fellini, Leone, Luc-Godard...

Hitchcock. Need I say more?

Wow! That one came right out of left field. Way left. You may want to give that race card a rest. It's gettin' old and worn out.

It's not the race card. It's simply a fact that most serious actors and movies of the time and before it were white.

EDIT:This isn't a good place for this debate so we should head to the basement to continue it or just drop it.

I vote for the latter.

It was in part tongue in cheek, you did pick up on that. I couldnt resist a chance to poke fun at the 70s new Hollywood cinema, and the likes of George Lucas, Martin Scorsese, and Francis Coppola, yet the point of the argument is not so rightly cast aside.

The 70s are not my favorite time for movies. But I will also say it is a fool's argument to propose that any older film is superior in terms of production quality than a modern film, and the art of storytelling and even acting, though I often consider that to be a very secondary piece for a film, has improved over the years.

Classic films are classic for a reason. They broke ground, the established new methods. But some of the great works done in the past 25 or so years is quite impressive, and holds up very well when compared to the old Film Noir classics, or even dare I say Citizen Kane.

With that all being said, citing Kubrick wont go far with me. I have little to no respect for that man's style. Orson Welles on the other hand. A masterful story teller. His filmmaking was very ahead of his time, and is how he should be remembered really for all his work, that he was ahead of his time.

But to cut short that anything made after WWII as being not worth the time to see....nope I cannot agree with that at all. The top of my list of the greatest feature productions of all time consist of a number of films that were made in the past 20 years or so.

The really low budget films of the 'day' were really good. Some of the early John Wayne movies are by far the better movies I've ever seen.

Oh, a wise guy, eh? I got somethin' for you:

Yeah, and here's fivesies! *slap*

Also forgot about the obvious:
