Why in the world do a remake? Is no one creative anymore, impossible to come up with something new?

There was a made for TV movie about the stooges a few years back. I was exited about the show, and set the DVR to record it to DVD. That DVD became a coffee coaster, because the show was a hot stinking, steaming pile of cow-pie. The acting was terrible and it was impossible to believe it was the 1930’s 40’s and 50’s.

Granted, passing yourself off as a huge celebrity in a movie is one of the most challenging bits of acting you can do, but it has been done. The Buddy Holly Story, la Bamba, Walk the Line, and even Kurt Russel as Elvis. But somehow doing a successful imitation of the stooges on film, even for Sean Penn is going to be a tough nuk to crack, and I do mean nuk.
