Sep 28 2006Three's Company Movie; Kisses Are Hers, Hers, His
In response to the complete public disinterest in translating old television shows to the big screen, Hollywood is reminding us that they don't care with rumors of another adaptation. This one will see the mediocre late-'70s/early '80s sitcom Three's Company fully realize the potential of sexual double entrendres and complicated misunderstandings. Better yet, some cast is supposedly already picked out, with Jim Carrey taking the role of Jack Tripper and Pamela Anderson filling Suzanne Somers' bra as Chrissy.
I'll admit the casting confuses me a bit. I fully acknowledge that Pamela Anderson is a dumb blonde, but I seem to remember Chrissy still being attractive and under 50. And after Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Truman Show, I thought Jim Carrey was too much of a dramatic actor to do this kind of fluff. Unless he was just with a couple of dramas to cover up the fact that he was secretly doing a lot of crappy comedies on the side! I knew he was covering up something when I came upstairs to check that leaky faucet!
John Ritter must be pratfalling in his grave right now.

this has to be a joke, you can't seriously be saying that they're allowing Pam Anderson to be in a real movie that is released in theaters and not sold over the phone.
they could have at least put Jim's girlfriend Jenny McCarthy in it, at least she's funny.

Pamela Anderson's days as a woman-looking woman of some physical attraction are a few years behind her. About the time of the Hep C announcement, during which my hardon hid itself inside of my body and I had to have it coaxed back out by repeated viewings of Paget Brewster on her shitty showtime show. THAT is a woman, by the way. Not an aging drag queen burn victim that looks like the Downs' Syndrome version of Dolly Parton.

Does this mean that if it does well we will be "treated" to the sequel "Three's a Crowd"?
