The Three Stooges at a Theater Near You - in Iowa?

The Three Stooges - a review.  Should this be on this blog or not?  I include these thoughts here because this movie is currently playing in Shenandoah, Iowa.  Few movies resound heavily in the heart of man as being profound and inspiring.  Few are found worthy of greatness and renown of true works of art.  Few truly alter human understanding and produce a fruitful field of compassionate philanthropic activity among the sons and daughters of men.  I refer my accolades to The Three Stooges - as they were meant to be.

The Three Stooges

I do not, however, refer to the new release of The Three Stooges.  Only at extreme various times do I find myself nodding off or snoozing during a movie.  Chalk it up to the time of day or even perhaps gas, but when my son and I went to the late showing of The Three Stooges I scarcely knew that I was destined, or doomed, to shame unto unconsciousness.  Sleep, yes sleep was the activity for me not a half hour into the movie.  With each small reach into consciousness came the need or desire to sink back down into nothingness.  It was that bad!

Larry, Moe and Curly are icons!  They are a most righteous collection of misfits!  This new release movie is a failed attempt at mimicking the old episodes and those wonderful characters.  The stunts played by Sean Hayes, Chris Diamantopoulos and Will Sasso pail in comparison to the antics of Larry, Moe and Curly of old.  The new release attempted to link the old and the new by mimicking the process of creating short subject lines in the movie with film cut curtain calls.  Though reinventing the American vaudeville was interesting it certainly loses the modern audience.

I bring about this subject for the safety and concern for all my countrymen in Shenandoah, Iowa.  If you want to retain your sanity and self control then don't see this movie.  If you want to grow to be an upstanding citizen and an exceptional mother or father then don't see this movie.  Likewise, to ensure these great qualities immerse yourself in the Larry, Moe and Curly of old.  It will make you wise and fruitful with knowledge.

Because of the travesty of this new release movie of The Three Stooges I have labeled this post under Disaster.  Go ahead, watch the movie and you'll understand the plight of my heart.  The only thing that drove the dagger further into my heart is getting out of the movie only to find Kony 2012 posters all over the downtown area - including my vehicle window.
