Sean Penn joins Jim Carrey in new Three Stooges movie

The weird thing is it's not a bio pic - it's actually going to be a slapstick comedy in the tradition of The Three stooges from the Farrelly Brothers (There's Something About Mary, Shallow Hal).

To be honest I'm not sure what to think...

Lost Columbia Pictures short subject comedy: New News: Watch Online

Check out the 10 star review from Amazon's Internet Movie Database and watch below in two parts direct from Youtube.

The uploader says that Columbia recycled the plot for the Three Stooges short "Crash goes the hash" which I've included below from Youtube if you'd like to compare yourself.




django-1 from IMDB.com: I'm glad that Jules White (comedy short head-honcho at Columbia) believed in writer/comedian Monte Collins, giving him roles wherever he could. The rubber-faced Collins (whose looks remind me of Jim Varney) is great at playing an exasperated or overly eager character, and he meshes well with the lumbering, dim-witted character played by Tom Kennedy (see my review of FREE RENT). In this short, they are laundry workers who are mistaken for newspaper reporters, and then assigned to go undercover and get pictures of a society party. They pose as cooks/servants, and get into the swank affair, and of course they mess up everything AND they discover that everything is not what it seems. This plot and these characters seem familiar--was this short later re-tooled for The Three Stooges? or was the Stooges short the original? Perhaps Bud Jamison was also the head butler in the Stooge version as he is here? In any event, NEW NEWS is the perfect Columbia short with wild physical slapstick, goofy situations and characters, and hilarious problems with food and machinery. If you like the fast pace and reckless abandon of a Columbia comedy short, check out this example of the comic wizardry of Collins and Kennedy. Wouldn't it be great if we could see this kind of thing on television?

On the Set with The Three Stooges.

Click here to watch part one
Click here to watch part two

Runs approx 9 minutes total

The above home videos are from the production of the Three Stooges feature film "The Outlaws is Coming".

The actual film is a relatively enjoyable romp. Perhaps the best of their feature film outings with Curly-Joe DeRita and it co-stars Batman's Adam West - so what's not to like there?

Rare 3 Stooges live TV appearance on The Eddie Cantor Comedy Theatre

This rare skit comes from 1955. Filmed in colour although aired in black and white you'll notice that the Three Stooges are appearing out of character as criminals on the run from the law instead of bumbling well doers.

In addition Shemp isn't as active as Moe or Larry in the appearance because he was in declining health. This is thought to be one of the last filmed appearances with Shemp as part of the team.

Runs Approx 5 minutes



This clip has just been unearthed in the last few months however so it's not on any DVD release however if you're a Three Stooges fan I'd recommend checking out excellent Three Stooges rarities DVD below (they also include the four public domain shorts we all know however there's newsreels, interviews, commercials and bevy more obscure Stooge fun!

Three Stooges MP4: Nertsery Rhymes



Click here to download in MP4 format to your computer
Runs approx 19 minutes

This is the first Three Stooges short filmed.

Before Larry, Moe and Curly signed up with Columbia they worked for a mean called Ted Healy who basically threated the stooges how Moe treated Larry and Curly in their Columbia Shorts. He was the boss of the show onstage and off.

Needless to say there came a point when the stooges had enough of being the "second bananas" to Healy and they severed their relationship with Healy and moved forward to become one of the greatest comedy teams in the history of media.

Ted Healy brought together a new set of stooges called "Healy's Stooges" to work with him however they never achieved much success. Healhy died in a bar brawl as a result of head injuries however there is a bit of mystery and conjecture revolving around his death.

According to "The Three Stiiges Scrapbook", co-written by Moe's daughter Moe was espically heartbroken over the death of Healy who he still considered a friend dispite their history.

Check back on The Naked Gord Program for more early Three Stooges shorts staring Healy and The Three Stooges or click here to check out a bevy of them on DVD over at Amazon.com. The disc is OOP but there are a number of copies running as little as $3.50. Frankly this is such a good disc any of the 5 that are below $20 are worth it.

Video game: The Three Stooges



In the 80's Cinemaware released a Three Stooges video game. The plot is pretty familiar to Three Stooges fans - they have to take on various jobs to be able to raise the funds to keep an orphanage from being closed by the evil banker. It's a fun game that I enjoyed playing as a kid on my old Amiga (it was also released as a Nintendo game and recently re-released on the Xbox). The above video is the complete game in action.

If you like what you've seen then click here to visit somethingawful.com to download in the game in .nes format to play on your home computer. You'll also be able to download an emulator to your home PC that you'll be able to use to play the game.

For those of you who have never heard of Ed Wynn he started in showbiz working as an assistant for the great W.C. Fields before moving on to his own comedy shows on radio and an Emmy award winning television series. Twilight Zone creator Rod Sterling was so enamored with him he wrote a part especially for him in the Twilight Zone episode "Ninety Years Without Slumbering". In his later years he was featured in the classic Walt Disney version of Alice in Wonderland, appeared as the Fairy Godfather in Jerry Lewis' Cinderfella and as "Uncle Albert" in Mary Poppins.

Three Stooges: Beer and Pretzels (1933)


AOL: In one of the first on-screen appearances by Larry Fine, Moe Howard and Curley Howard (The Three Stooges), this 1933 short begins with vaudeville star Ted Healy and his stooges being fired from a theater as vaudeville actors trying to get a break. They soon find work as waiters at an upscale nightclub and chaos ensues. Look for lots of the famous slaps-and-pokes. Bonnie Bonnell also appears in this short.
