The Three Stooges - Curly Years / Re: Three Sappy People (1939)
« Last post by Samurai on Today at 07:32:29 PM »
I enjoyed this one as a youngster, and I enjoy it even more as an oldster. The two primary women almost steal the show, but not completely. Curly, is a man(ic) on a mission, at his Ritalin-free best throughout. There are so many memorable moments, but Curly and Ann Doran (as a terrific snobess) have always provided the longest lasting ones. (I've always wondered if Curly shaving Ann's face was in the script... as her reaction of utter surprise seemed very genuine...she even suppressed a smile/laugh).

Anytime the boys have a seat at the grownup table, mayhem shall ensue, and the well-heeled shall devolve.

P.S. Once again, my two Beatrice theory proves correct. If they are both cast, no matter how small the part, the short will be gold!

$230 and not even all 190 shorts. That's kind of crazy. Will it at least be all 97 Curly episodes??

If they are indeed releasing only 100 of the 190 shorts — which sounds like a bone-headed maneuver to me — I’m gonna guess that the missing 90 shorts are going to consist of most of Joe Besser’s, the four Fake Shemp ones, and a lot of the Shemp remakes.  I highly doubt they’d omit any Curly shorts, but if they do, I’ll bet they’re from his post-stroke period.

Well, there are 97 Curly shorts, so that would leave room for only 3 Shemp shorts...

At a glance, it appears that 12 of the 20 discs are devoted to "shorts," with the remaining 8 discs devoted to "films" — which we can take to mean the DeRita features. So, apparently, not a good sign.

Stooges DVD/VHS/Home Video / Three Stooges shorts coming to Blu-ray this summer

At long last, Sony is releasing the Three Stooges shorts on Blu-ray: https://www.amazon.com/The-Three-Stooges-Collection-Blu-ray/dp/B0D49XFZ4V

There's some pretty serious questions about this, though. The product description only says 100 shorts, and of course the Stooges made 190 at Columbia. If that's an error or actually how it is remains to be seen.

If it is not an error, which 100 shorts and how were they chosen?

The solo shorts and DeRita-era films are included, including Three Stooges Scrapbook.

And the price tag is a hefty $230 but this could drop during the pre-order process.

It's a "limited edition" set, meaning probably a scalpers delight before too long after it's released.

Release date is July 23.

The Three Stooges - Curly Years / Re: 3 Dumb Clucks (1937)

This is another short that (seemingly) popped up very rarely in my younger years. For that reason, I'm always happy when it pops up now.

No, it cannot be considered a classic, but it's definitely quality entertainment. I enjoyed the completely different scenarios...except for the overly rushed ending.

My favorite scene came in the middle. Starting with Larry mixing the drink as Moe's head mixes in unison, followed by the inevitable explosion into Moe's kissah. For me, the best moment came down to hearing one word. One I've never heard before or since...

...MUGLETS!!
