Well, I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and claim that I know everything about the Stooges, simply because I'm coming right out and saying that I KNOW that this movie shouldn't be made. Not that I won't go see it and proclaim ala Comic Book Guy "Worst movie ever!" (Like I did after seeing Star Trek V...Nimoy's direction in III and IV was sooo great, and then we get...Shatner, fart jokes, rocket boots, and bad green screen Kirk saving...)
I agree with those who say that if you're going to make a movie, go the Ed Wood route, but then again, I was bitching about that movie as well, even though it handled the subject matter way better than that asstastic movie what's-his-name (you know...that anti-Semetic guy) produced. I mean, come on! You have the perfect material! It could start (again) with Moe as the central character, starting from his (short-lived) gofer days at Columbia, perhaps even going in depth about them a bit more--I'm not going to watch that craptastic tape (again!) that I managed to splice together of the above mentioned TV movie to see how they handled that to the end of his days--which have been woefully under referenced, even though it was roughly "only" 1975!
As for Johnny Depp--because he was in Ed Wood, I'd go see it for the curiousity factor, and save my bitching until AFTER the movie, unlike (Benecio) Del Toro (sp?), Penn, and Carrey, whom I'd bitch out from the back of the theatre while eating a big box of Milk Duds and sucking on a diet Coke (fortified with Bacardi).
