The last stooges movie wasn't in the classic stooges style. Who will be the new stooges?

I thought the three guys that played the parts in the 2012 film all did a great job.

In that movie, The scene that cracked me up the most was Moe Howard on the The Jersey shore. That was a tragedy of epic proportions ! (LOL) :D:D:ROFLMAO:

Not in two hours, but I'm hoping they treat it like Jackson did LotR. A film for each book and each clocking in at around 2.30.

Three movies for book one of Dune? That would work. :)
 
Boring nature documentaries ? Those got really unpopular in the 1970s.:whistle:
 
I'd take the beach party movies before the Zombie apocalypse ideas. I'm so sick of Zombies and apocalyptic stories. What I want to be the next big thing is uplifting stories that have strong uplifting sacrificial heroes who win with strength of character and the friends that they make along the way.
 
Hollywood is suffering from it's accountant driven and formulaic films. Box office revenues are the lowest in 15 years. So the opposite of CGI is Realism. We may see a return to simpler, plot driven stories. Unfortunately, SciFi films may suffer because of it. However, it could also benefit - less visual eye-candy but more character development and sophisticated plots.
 
I think it will be interesting to see how "Murder on the Orient Express" fairs. It might be a bit of a bellwether as to whether CGI, impossible stunts, and "zoom and boom" movies have peaked.

I don't know. There are some top grade actors in this, but there are also some I generally loathe. I'm keen to see it, but I'm not holding out for any improvement over the 1974 version.
 
My point is that this movie is going to be plot driven and somewhat on the sedate end of the spectrum. It would seem to be pretty much the polar opposite of Super Hero movies.

Oh, woe oh woe!

Why?? Finney 's performance can't be topped!!

Are we doomed to see another of Christie's books assassinated? Will there be assassins dropped from helicopters? Explosions and 10,000-bullet shootouts? A runaway train??

Please... can't they just cancel this one, rather than "modernize" the story??
