Granted, I’ve had a few beers tonight, but I read that whole article and thought it was Dax Shepard and Michael Cera. I kept thinking, “Him?”
I gotta say, Michael Pena makes much more sense.
Is this a Michael Bay movie?
ETA: Or Tommy Wisehau. in fact, now that I think about it, Tommy Wisehau is the only choice to bring this film to life.
San Pedro Beach Bums, in IMAX. There, I said it.
No movie remake of Three’s Company will ever succeed…because it won’t have Norman Fell’s classic mugging to the camera after he zings Audra Lindley. 
Though I might give the movie props if they recreate what has to be the best pie fight since The Great Race…
With Andy Serkus as both Ropers
It occurred to me recently that Dorothy Kilgallen might be an interesting subject for a biopic. Maggie Gyllenhaal could star.
I proposed on an earlier thread something like Life with Elizabeth: The Movie. It’s about the same character that Betty White played from 1953 to 1955 (and intermittently on some sketches before that). It’s about a woman who’s been widowed for 48 years. As a young married woman she was a free-spirited type, but after her husband died she became a recluse. Now at 94 she’s decided she been mourning his death long enough and begins dating again, once more the wacky woman she once was:
Haven’t we all been awaiting this for the past sixty-some years?
I would love for someone to do to a show like Three’s Company (and other lightweight 60’s/70’s comedies) what they did to Battlestar Galactica. Make them all gritty and dark, like Sherwood Swartz meets Vince Gilligan.
Imagine finally finding out what happened to the ‘other’ parents on The Brady Bunch; maybe Jan finding her father’s corpse would explain her problems, etc.
The castaways on Gilligan’s Island tempted with cannibalization; the sadistic abuses of Mr. Roper that he heaps upon the roomies too.
I like it, BlueOhio. Vince Gilligan’s Island where the castaways all start out getting along and working together on getting rescued, but personal conflict and selfishness gradually strain the relationships and eventually they turn on each other, with the members from the various huts plotting and scheming against one another as they each get more desperate for the limited resources on the island. Guest starring Vincent Price!
You replace Price with Bryan Cranston! What can’t he do!
It can’t be worse than “The Force Awakens”
Great, but when will we see The Jeffersons: The Movie?
As long as Mrs. Roper is still around and ready for it.
Yeah, that’s what I thought too. The big premise (in case you haven’t seen it or something) was that in the mid-1970s, 2 women needed a roommate, and Jack Tripper needed an apartment, so they all moved in together. It being nearly 40 years ago, this was frowned upon, so Tripper was forced to act flamboyantly gay to “explain” it, in spite of secretly being straight, and a super horndog in the bargain.
So a lot of the comedy revolved around Tripper trying to land women (not the roommates), and at the same time keep up this gay act, or the girls trying to cover for him. The rest of the show was about Suzanne Somers’ boobs from what I recall.
Maybe they’ll let Joyce Dewitt play Mrs. Roper and she’ll get a paycheck. That’s about the only good that can come of it.
“Lord of the Flies II: Gilligan’s Revenge”?
I always thought Janet was sexier by far than Chrissy. She had the beauty AND the brains. Chrissy was just an idiot.
The second episode, and maybe one or two others, they let Chrissy use her brain. She puts on bedroom eyes and talks in double entenre, and gestures with her long fingernails. Smokin’ hot, in her element, totally in control, and dropping smart one-liners better than Jack Ritter. If you’re watching a bunch of episodes, look out for these. Its what the show could have been, if people in the '70’s could have handled it. The one to watch for is the one where she’s dating special guest star Dick York.
But as we’ve discussed before here, that only makes the premise even more bizarre. No 1970s landlord who was socially conservative enough to balk at the idea of unmarried men and women from living together would embrace the idea of renting to an openly (and at times flamboyantly) gay man.
Except for how she wore pantyhose at all times, even when out jogging. :smack:
In case anyone’s missed it, I’ve started a new thread for people who want to play casting director for the new movie.
