Barclay's latest holodeck porn. Guy had a fetish for historical costumes.
THERE. ARE. NO. MUSKETS!
Check the ears
"D'Artagnan wasn't a Musketeer. He only had a letter of introduction to the captain of the guards - which he lost!"
I read an abridged version of the novel and I grt that reference!
His name is Albert! Albert! Albert the fifth musketeer!
Yeah, that part bothers me mpre than the number
The Three Stooges
Larger version I found:
I just had the kind of thought you used to put on social media in the olden times, and thought, "as usual, my thoughts would be wasted on me and my human experience." But then I remembered this thread.
Nermal is the Shemp of Garfield.
Who are the last two?!
The order displayed makes this a little more confusing, but let's list them as they appeared and disappeared:
Moe Howard: The first of the two of the Three Stooges. A slapstick actor whose first appearance on film was as an extra, sitting on a diving board while exchanging slaps on the face back and forth with...
Shemp Howard: Moe's older brother. After failing at vaudeville, the Howard Brothers signed up with a shitty agent who got them shitty contracts, but pretty quickly paired them with...
Larry Fine: A talented violinist who was also a master at comedy, but struggled as a solo act. Never the real instigator, Larry fit in perfectly.
Shemp exits for a personal career
Curly Howard: Jerome "Curly" Howard was the younger brother of Shemp and Moe. Dude was an off-the-walls comedian on set, and a horrible, abusive drunk at home. His excessive drinking eventually lead to a stroke.
Curly exits for health reasons. He makes a cameo later as a passenger sleeping on a train, doing his iconic snore
Shemp returns
Shemp has a stroke
Joe Besser: Already a well-established comedian, and still under contract, the production studio rejected Moe's proposal to continue as the Two Stooges. They saddled the Stooges with Joe Besser, who refused to fully assimilate into the act. He continued playing his established character, and negotiated a "no excessive hitting" clause in his contract, which was significantly higher than Moe's or Larry's. This was a very polarizing choice for Stooges fans, but love him or hate him, Joe was the only way that the Three Stooges were going to continue filming shorts.
Shorts stop being popular, so the production studio drops them
Moe tries to go back on tour
Joe Besser exits after his wife has a heart attack
"Curly" Joe Derita: An established burlesque comedian who was excited to join the Stooges. Originally, he had long hair similar to Shemp's, and then the Three Stooges with Curly was suddenly popular again. They shave Joe Derita's hair, but he looks a little too much like Joe Besser or Curly Howard. They renamed him "Curly Joe" to differentiate while cashing in on Curly's popularity.
Larry Fine exits after a paralyzing stroke
Emil Sitka (not pictured): Named to replace Larry, but never got to perform.
Moe exits the Three Stooges because he was tired of the production studio taking advantage of him and all of his friends and family were sick or dead
Curly Joe tries to form a new Three Stooges, but nearly goes blind from diabetes
Sounds miserable.
Harvey Weinstein didn't come out of a vacuum. So many songs about it, too, like Hotel California (more about the music industry, but same thing pretty much), Lost in Hollywood (more about those that don't make it or only kinda make it, but same shit different outcome), Celebrity Skin (focuses on the extra exploitation women face, but that doesn't mean men like the Stooges don't get chewed up and spit out when they aren't respected, too). And those are just three off the top of my head in a genre I like.
I never knew their last names. This explains the “Paging Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard” call n the hospital scenes.
I feel like such a Stooge right now.
This gif immediately made me think of the NES Three Stooges game
or the three Marx brothers, THERE ARE 5 OF EM but not all of them are actors, in the movies there are 4 of them
The Needs of the All outweigh the Needs of the One
(might be a bit of a stretch)
But also all will satisfy the needs of ones
Bryan Adams: And love!
I just looked at this and I'm like hey that's Oliver Babish , the senior White House Council for the Bartlett administration.
I've been watching the West Wing too much
I need you to stop doing that.
Answering more than was asked.
I think you got downvoted because someone didn’t get the reference…
Sad, cause it was a great scene by him
It gets weirder because they're known for their storesmanship rather than their marksmanship.
Do they ever use muskets?
Do they ever use muskets?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musketeer#France
They tended to combine long rifles and rapiers against heavy infantry, because both weapons could penetrate mail armor. They also served on horseback as dragoons, useful for outflanking main units and harassing the slower moving artillery, baggage trains, and reserve units.
Because rifle technology was in its infancy (early firearms were literally called "hand cannons"), bayonet-rifles and swords allowed soldiers to quickly close on units that were slow to reload. From a storytelling perspective, this made them popular as adventurous heroes of the battlefield. From a more military perspective, they were either household guards more inclined to be visually impressive than militarily useful or expendable second-sons of the aristocracy who were often more trouble to train and field than they were worth.
expendable second sons of the aristocracy
Historical ones did, but marksmanship wasn't really a thing because, well, muskets. The ones in the book mainly rely on swords, nougat, and multiple Quirks.
In the movies, not so much. In the books they do. Historically they would have.
I didn't know that the three musketeers were really Quigon Gin, the Sheriff of Nottingham from prince of thieves, Anakin Skywalker and Matt Berry.
Funny thing is some looked familiar and when I looked them up, all three of the older ones were big names that I didn't realize were in that movie because I watched it before I knew them as actors.
From left to right, Keifer Sutherland, Charlie Sheen, Chris O'Donnel, Oliver Platt. And of course the legendary Tim Curry as Cardinal Richelieu, though I at least already knew that one.
Trying to figure out if the cast would have been considered stacked at the time or if the three main ones all just happened to become big names after. Keifer and Charlie were already established (eg they had already done "A Few Good Men" and "Platoon", respectively), but Oliver was still on the rise (most notable role I see for him prior to this was as the villain's assistant in Beethoven).
Guy on the left looks less like Qui-Gon and more like Obi-Wan in Attack of the Clones.
That last man is clearly Jackie Daytona
You mean the regular human bartender?
The remake we all need now! Thanks a lot for giving me this vision that'll never happen.
I was in the Supermarket a few weeks ago and "All for Love" by Bryan Adams came on and I was like "Is this the fucking song from The Three Musketeers movie that came out in the 90s?".
Indeed it was. Not sure who is making the Shop rite playlist, but rock on dude or dudette.
Absolutely. Don't lay our love to rest in the frozen foods ...
Did you ever read the novel?
Mighty nein vibes.
Dar tan yun
Whatever happened to Chris O’Donnell?
I think Batman & Robin finished his career.
