Topic: xxx-rated Stooges?

[garystooge]

The story below was recently posted on the tmz.com website:


The brainchild behind the porn parody, "Not the Three Stooges XXX" has been threatened by the guy behind the PG version that was released Friday -- to either put the brakes on the porn, or else.

Robert Benjamin, Executive VP and General Counsel of C3 Entertainment which produced the PG movie, fired off a letter -- obtained by TMZ --  to the lawyer for the triple X version, claiming the "low budget, clearly pornographic film" is not protected as a parody under the First Amendment.

But Michael Fattorosi,  the XXX lawyer fired his own letter back -- which we also got -- claiming the only way Benjamin could stop him is with a proper trademark, and Fattorosi says the only Three Stooges trademark Benjamin owns is for Three Stooges bottled beer.

But even more basic -- Fattorosi lectures Benjamin on the fact that a parody is protected as free speech.

The PG movie came in second last weekend, pulling in $17 mil.

We'll see how the XXX version comes in.

The replies I can make to this are endless.  Must - show - restraint.

I bet it beats the Farrelly one. lol 


The real question is, who the fuck would want to see the stooges have sex? 

[metaldams]

I bet it beats the Farrelly one. lol 

The XXX version probably has a happier ending.

Haven't seen the movie yet, but i bet it does.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but dosen't C3 own all of The Three Stooges copyrights??  If you want to make a Three Stooges coffee mug and sell it (legally) don't you need to get C3's permission first??  Wouldn't this apply to movies as well (XXX or otherwise)?

My understanding is they own the actual images of Moe, Larry, Curly, and Curly Joe.  I don't believe impersonating Curly and throwing him in a porno counts, but then again, I'm admittedly not an expert, so if I'm wrong, somebody please correct me.

For what it's worth, I've watched other "Not [insert movie/TV show]: An XXX Parody" films, and minus the sex scenes they're hysterically bad. There's actually more story than fucking for the most part. The Batman one is one of the best, and the Ghostbusters one has decent SFX.

I wouldn't watch this one just because it'd be kind of bizarre seeing my childhood heroes in roles like this, but I think it's harmless.

So I tell my brother there's a Stooge porno, and his response....

"That's awesome!  Who's in it?"

[metaldams]

....and by the way, I have not seen the PG version yet, plans fell through on Sunday, though I will see it soon, and you better believe I will post a review, just in case my adoring fan base is waiting.

That said, something genuinely tells me I may laugh more at the XXX version.  If the writer's fail to take advantage of Moe's catch phrase, "spread out," I will be greatly disappointed.  OK, I said I must show restraint, bad Metal, BAD!

X-rated stooges, is nothing sacred? Aye-carumba.   

[Giff me dat fill-em!]

found a movie poster ...

[metaldams]

I'm looking at that poster and there are simply no words.....just....no words. 

[Shemp_Diesel]

Now I've seen everything...

I bet it beats the Farrelly one. lol

Same people who think Laurel & Hardy were gay.

Is it just me or does the "Not" Curly kinda resemble a Kook's Tour era Derita?

C3 owns the Trademark, not copyright.

[garystooge]

 A better parody title that would have avoided trademark issues would be "The Three Screw-ges"

[metaldams]

I take it none of those ladies were hired to sing "Voices of Spring?"

Hey, they might have been. Those sex scenes cant get really wild with all that moaning.

I thought the exact same thing.

[Giff me dat fill-em!]

There is a site called "fastload.com" in which if you give them your vital internet stats (and other such pulses), they will download the xxx movie to you for free ... I have not the balls to risk such an adventure ... sounds tricky and unwise - BTW ... "fastload.com" is not one I found by an immediate internet search, but when searching for the "Not The Three Stooges XXX" movie poster ... the internet still harbors dark corners ... (chilling wind whispering by)

LOL.
Yeah!  And the guy playing "Larry" looks like a serial killer.
