/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

I love Larry Fine so goddamn much. Always been my favorite Stooge, he's just so funny.

From what I understand, a genuine gentleman. I was so confused when Shawn Hayes was cast to play him in the incredibly confusing project that turned out to be a movie. To my surprise and delight, he paid a very impressive and respectful homage to Larry Fine. It felt like he picked up the role like a Stradivarius: gently and with intentions of entertainment.

I'll have to check that out! I'm unfamiliar with any Shawn Hayes and Three Stooges movie with them played by someone else.

It was a 2012 film that lived in production hell for literal decades. Name a famous actor between 1995-2012, and they were probably rumored to have been attached to the film. At one point, Jim Carrey gained 40lbs to play Curly, but then bowed out when he realized he'd have to gain another 40lbs and became concerned for his health.

Ultimately, they settled on Chris Diamotopolis, the guy who played the boom operator that ruined The Office. His previous notable credits included playing Robin Williams in the Mork and Mindy TV behind the scenes drama thingy.

Shawn Hayes, who played Jack on Will and Grace, played Larry. And Will Sasso, from MadTV and Vine, played Curly.

Overall, the movie mostly works. The story is very Stoogie, with some very peculiar pop references. It's a three-act story shot like shorts from the original Three Stooges days. All of the actors playing the Stooges are very careful and loving with their portrayals. The movie just didn't get the attention that it deserved due to being rumored for so long.

Anyway, definitely worth checking out if you're a fan or even just interested.
