    I heard about this the other day & it's SACRILEGE. The Stooges were GENIUS. I LOVE those guys. What's next, a new "Bogart" or "John Wayne" movie w/ someone else as Boggie or the Duke? C'mon! These guys wern't just characters, they were originals!

    Wanna make a movie in that STYLE of comedy? I'm fine with that. But to actually make a THREE STOOGES MOVIE WITHOUT LARRY, MOE & CURLEY?!?!?!?! Nope. I ain't buyin' it bub.

    GODDAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I am with Moon on this one. This is an outrage! Stupid and lame, and will be a flop. I will not spend a penny on this film, not even rent it on "rent two get one free night" (which I would do even for NOLD 30th) All copies of this film should be buried in the same landfill as that ET game back in the day. And the ground should be salted.

    I put a curse on this film. A POX ON THEE!!!!

    I didn't find that stuff very funny either. But to each his own

    Right, because YouBoob is the best method for viewing comedy shorts from 50 years ago that were intended to be viewed theatrically.

    Yes. Because it's sketches, so indeed, yes, it does work. And the sketches aren't funny, so now I know, and now I know I'm not into their kind of humour (which seems AWFULLY simple!) and now I know not to bother my time with them. Unlike the Marx brothers, they just don't seem to have aged very well.

    Won't get into a pi$$ing match over this, as humor is subjective, but respectively disagree. I think each a has aged just fine. Comparing the Marx Brothers to the Stooges is definitely apples and oranges though.

    I can see why the Farley Brothers want to raise them from the dead though. They did beat them to the punch by around 60 years.

    Oh, & anyone who doesn't love the Stooges is a heretic.

    I agree with apples to oranges, but I'll take apples (Marx) over oranges any day!

    How exactly is your personal preference relevant to the topic of this thread again?

    And since we're off-topic for the moment, I must ask of anyone that has only ever seen the Three Stooges on YouBoob: how does one determine "aging well" when you are so obviously unable to view the work in the context of when it was made? It's a safe bet plenty of YouBoobers can't imagine Boris Karloff ever having been "scary" either.

    You can determine "aging" when viewing something that is old and realize that it's quite simply horribly out of date. Just look at Laurel and Hardys silent slapstick films, where every gag is very simple, and then repeated three times, and tell me that it's funny. It's not, nobody today thinks so. Yet back then, it was new and fresh. And my personal preference is relevant to this topic because said personal preference was about The Three Stooges, which just so happens to be what this topic is about.

    Or are only people who LIKE the Three Stooges allowed to post in this topic, hmm? Now please, let's stop with the bickering.
