That was bad...very, very bad.

Apparently, people STILL haven't learned that you cannot bring great shows from the past into the present without adding "suckage" to it.

Twilight Zone is one example.  Three Stooges is the next.

That short clip made me want to stab my eyes, and it wasn't even 20 seconds of actual footage with the Stooges in it!  If it was any longer, damage would have been done to either myself or the computer.   

[ThumpTheShoes]

I shall go to bed, now, and pretend I have never seen that.

I shall also hope against hope that I shall be able to sleep after viewing such a travesty!

Nevermind the Undead Revolution.. Famous Frames is Farblondzhet!

Instead of a press release, they should issue an apology.

Wow.  Yeah, just... wow.  What was with Curly and Larry fighting over a blow up doll?  And that pic of Curly in the buff?      Hey C3, instead of churning out crap like this, why don't you take your obvious spare time and come up with some better moichandise?

Here here.  'Took the words right outta my mouth.

It makes me glad I don't own a cell phone.

It makes me glad I don't own a cell phone.

Damn, you dont?...

[jrvass]

I don't either. My house is made from cement block. No signals here!

[curlysdame]

Damn.  My cell is my lifeline; I couldn't go anywhere without it.  Don't get me wrong though... I'm not one of those girls you see that's on the phone 24/7 talking about nothing.  It almost doubles as my daytimer.

[Dunrobin]

Same here - I don't have a cell phone.  I used to have a "prepaid" phone, but the only reason that I ever carried one is that I live 20 miles out in the countryside, and I liked the idea of being able to call for help if my car breaks down without having to hike five or six miles to find a pay phone.  I never used it, though, and I resented having to keep throwing money on it to keep it active, so I got rid of it and just take my chances.

[metaldams]

I too do not own a cell phone, and probably never will unless if I have a wife and kids or a job that requires a cell phone.  Maybe I'm an outdated curmudgeon, but I don't like being accessible everywhere I go.

[JazzBill]

I just started using a cell about a year ago. It's a Nextel supplied from my work. I use the walkie talkie part (paid for by the company) to communicate with dispatch and other drivers. For $12.00 a month (out of my pocket) I get to hook up the phone. I figure, what the hell, I can't go wrong at that price. The funny part is that even though I'm allowed 400 minutes a month, the most I've ever used is 23 minutes. I'm not all that happy about having the phone hooked up . Like metaldams said, I don't like being accessible all the time. Most of the calls I receive are from people looking for a handout or an argument.

It makes me glad I don't own a cell phone.

Lucky you! I hate cell phones. I bought one four years ago and have regretted it ever since. I hardly ever turn the damn thing on anymore. People just bother me. Sometimes I just feel like throwing it away.

[BeAStooge]

I don't either. My house is made from cement block. No signals here!

Me three! My head is made from cement block. No signals there!

[locoboymakesgood]

I want the last 2 minutes of my life back.

And I don't have a cell phone either.

[curlysdame]

Well, to each his own, I guess.  Anyway...  C3 needs to be slapped for coming up with that 'new short.'  And I gotta say, before I found out about the fantastic Journal that Gary and his staff puts together, I used to get what C3 calls a 'newletter' (what can I say, I was new to stoogedom). And it's basically a reformatted version of the C3 website (all the same articles, etc), aka a waste of money.

[benjilbum]

Moe's voice sounds like one of the Kennedy's. What's with that? Curly's voice is so-so. Larry's is good. Sounds like Billy West. But it would have been better not to do it at all. Just exploiting the boys memory to make a buck. If they ever do a new "Stooge" movie, I have a feeling it wont be so hot.

[curlysdame]

If they ever do a new "Stooge" movie, I have a feeling it wont be so hot.

I'm sure it wouldn't be.  The Farrelly Brothers have been talking about doing a Stooges movie since 2003, and nothing has come of it... so far (thank god).  I heard they wanted to set it in present day.     Jeez, leave well enough alone and leave the Stooges in their era.   

[Sadistic Stooge]

Bad , Bad SOOOOOOOOOOOOO BAD !!!!

[Hammond Eggar]

I love reading everyone's responses.  They're right-on-the-money, and funnier than anything in that pointless cartoon.

[Senorita Rita]

God. That made me cringe uncontrollably.

[Mattie Herring]

What a dumb plot.  Usually, the Stooges try to get not-so-high-paying jobs, not run for president.

God. That made me cringe uncontrollably.

LOL...It made me retch uncontrollably!   

[Darkhoarse820]

I didn't even make it that far.  Boy, have you got patience for the totally absurd...
