Which they'd have to do with a new model anyway, so ... cheers, Stewart ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 25 Apr 2005 09:56:11 -0400 From: "Bachman, Michael" Subject: RE: furiously beating a stuffed dead horse On 4/23/05, Jeff Dwarf wrote: > >Eb wrote: > > >By Liza Foreman LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - [Will > > >Ferrell] is playing Franz Liebkind in the film version > > >of Mel Brooks' Broadway hit "The Producers," to be > > >released domestically by Universal on Dec. 21. > >> Too bad Zero Mostel is too dead and Gene Wilder is too old, >>because they'd be great in a film version of "The >> Producers."

They haven't exhausted the 1960's TV shows yet, F Troop, Petticoat Junction, Mr. Ed, The Munsters, Branded, Broadside, Green Acres, etc. I'm surprised it took this long to make a movie of Bewitched.

How come no-one told me about Bright Eyes? I've just heard some of their music and I was mightily impressed. Intelligent lyrics, catchy music, and one song (Arc of Time) which sounded like Joe Strummer jamming with Brian Eno.
