FLY CASTING
This concept is shamelessly stolen from one of this blog’s fourteen readers, who e-mailed me lamenting the fact 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. Fer egg sample:
- Woody Allen, Wayne Gretzky, and Barry Manilow in Kickboxer V: Fists of Manhattan
- Adam Sandler, Bill Romanowski, and Jay-Z in The Henry Kissinger Story
- Mason Adams, Larry Spinks, and John Mayer in Trying to Clear My Throat
- Wilford Brimley, Arnold Palmer, and Etta James in Eighty-Four Candles
Have at it . . .

Actually, I think the next “Die Hard” is going to be subtitled, “And Stay Dead, Dammit!”
Or maybe that’s what the industry is saying about the idea of another “Die Hard”…
