Movies: Bizarre "Stooges" to Hit Big Screen


I don't know about you but when I think Sean Penn I think hilarity and I definitely think physical comedian. If this sounds like a bizarro description of the recent Oscar winner to you,well, then we have entered the Twilight Zone.  The most serious man on Earth has been cast as Larry in the Farrelly Brothers directed "The Three Stooges"  Joining Penn are Che Guevera himself Benicio Del Toro as Moe and elastic comedian Jim Carrey as Curly.  The film will not be a biopic of the three actors but a comedy about the antics of the three characters.  

The cast is certainly star studded and out of the box. My first thoughts were to discount this but I'm sure Penn and Del Toro can do anything and say what you want about Carrey but he is a brilliant physical comedian.  I'm looking on with curiosity.

Harvey Milk Day?




Fresh off his Best Actor win for "Milk" Sean Penn is now trying to recruit the state of California to name Harvey Milk's birthday a state holiday.

Penn will appear Tuesday in San Francisco with state Senator Mark Leno, who plans to reintroduce a bill making the Milk's birthday a "day of significance." This would suggest schools conduct exercises and functions in Milk's honor but not close the schools themselves.

The Govenator vetoed the bill once thinking that Harvey Milk should be recognized in San Francisco but not the entire state.
