DVD : The Three Stooges - Hapless Half-Wits |
- Three Stooges deserve much better respect than this DVDThe Three Stooges made 190 short films. Rather than putting care into complete, chronological sequenced box sets, Sony keeps dumping a random 4 shorts on overpriced discs. Skip this.

- SUPERB BLACK AND WHITE & GORGEOUS COLOR"purists" moan and groan about coloring old movies.Don't they realize that you can watch this DVD in perfect black and white restorations AND/OR amazing colorized versions by simply clicking your remote. These people need to realize that these processes are quite expensive to carry out. A large new audience has been drawn in by the color versions which helps defray the restoration expense. The new colorizing process is a VAST IMPROVEMENT over the washed-out, vapid colors that were the rule in the old Turner process used in the 1970s and 1980s!!! I frankly beg my purist friends to watch the miracle with open minds. PLEASE !!! BRAVO SONY !!! ORDER THESE DUAL RESTORED VERSIONS TODAY.

- don't buyI don't know who's in charge of the stooge shorts but it is a scandal what they're doing, with the recylcling, editing, and withholding of shorts. I,m the biggest fan there is but I refuse to buy anything until they do it right. I actually like the coloring as an option, if it is able to be turned on or off.

- "Hapless Half-Wits" - You'd have to be one........to buy these things, folks. The so-called "big draw" here is the colorizing of these shorts. Personally, I hate this. How do the manufacturers know just what color of shirt Curly wears, the cars they drive, etc. You guys know what I mean. It's totally FAKE!!!
Sure, it would have been nice if these had been FILMED in color, but they weren't. And really, who cares? I love the Stooges in spite of all that.
And to beat it all, some of these shorts HAVE ALREADY BEEN RELEASED!!! This is a ripoff, folks! No one should buy these. I'd love to know whose bright idea this was to release these DVDs in this manner. They should have their heads examined.
And the PRICES! Simply outrageous. What TS fan is going to pay close to $20 or more just to double-dip on shorts they more than likely already have? Doubtfully anybody with even a tenth of Curly's brain power.
As far as content goes, the Three Stooges always get five stars from me. Even their worst is better than most. But these "color" releases just have to stop! Find a company who will give these shorts the love and care they deserve at a price we can all live with. And ditch the stupid "colorizing" garbage!
These guys deserve better than what they've ever gotten! And I for one would like to thank them for all the laughs and memories they've given all of us Three Stooges fans everywhere.

- hapless halfwits indeedcolorizing the stooges borders on like the perverse. i have not bought one of these "collections" in quite some time and really why would any true stooge fan waste his/her money on something he/she already has AND is colorized? its as if the knuckle heads in charge of the stooge shorts hold us in contempt. give them less, charge them more, edit with a hacksaw and then DEmaster the whole mess. my recomendation is to boycott this shameful nonsense. hapless and halfwited indeed.
