CASTING CONTEST

· Saturday, January 24, 2004 · 5 comments

Mark Hasty notes that

Courteney Cox, Dan Marino, and Tone-Loc haven’t made a movie together since Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.

The challenge: Pick three people–an actor, an athlete, and a musician–who shouldn’t be in the same movie, and tell me what movie they shouldn’t be in.

My submissions:

  • Don Knotts, Manute Bol, and Luciano Pavarotti in Gladiator 2
  • Bob Denver, Ray Lewis, and Yo Yo Ma in Lonesome Dove IV: The Search for Gus

    Have at it!

      How can anyone compete with McGehee?
      I was going to go with the OJ, Blake combo but see I was already beaten to the punch.

      Jonathan Richman, Brett Favre, and Matt Dillon – oh, wait, they already did that.

      Instead, how about Jessica Simpson, Jeremy Shockey, and Geri Halliwell in Masterminds?

      Jeffrey Jones, Marek Chmura, Pete Townshend in Child’s Play

      That’s not too harsh, is it?

      Mike Tyson, Woody Allen, and Michael Jackson in
      All God’s Children – Of course Paul Ruebins would reprise the role of the younger Woody Allen character in a flash back.
