Oh no, woe is any schmoe who deals a low blow to Moe.

But truth be told, I'd need to see Lee J. Cobb audition for the part of Moe before I could rule him out. Could he poke Larry's eye with the same grace and dexterity as Moe Howard?

What classic actors do you think would work for a more serious, gritty version of The Three Stooges?

I see Patrick Stewart as a more enlightened Moe, stern to be sure, but steering the boys in a more fruitful direction.

How about you?

What do you think about James Coburn as Moe, Paul Michael Glaser as Larry, and Telly Savalas as Curly? :Ahhh:

Can you imagine Telly Sevalas accepting any kind of beating from Moe?

Do you think our Grim Stooges would even survive one short subject?

I would love to find out. Unfortunately, our imaginations are likely to be left as hypotheticals.

What comedy group, besides the Three Stooges, has been among your favorites?

Are you familiar with the comedy duo who met Dracula and Frankenstein and all those guys?

Would that be Abbott and Costello?

Yes, but don't you wish all the great comedy teams could have met the classic monsters?

Is it possible that the Blob could feel annoyance?

If a movie could be named Silence of the Lamb, why not also Annoyance of the Blob?

Do you think that would make for a successful Kickstarter?

Wouldn't most people prefer that the Blob be destroyed rather than merely annoyed? Yet, for comedic value, wouldn't Harpo's annoyance of it be priceless?
