There once was a man from Ohio
Who puckered up his great big pie-ho
And gave a big smooch
To an arrogant douche

How did that guy jump from a Zooey Deschannel quirkfest to Spiderman, of all things?  I mean, yeah, a single Office episode?  That totally qualifies you to reboot a major comics franchise.

Hayden Panetierre?  She's about the right level of "TV hottie" and "struggling actress", plus she fits the age bracket.

The whole reason the "Chicken wire?" line was in the movie was so that Blue Lou Marini would get paid.  That's his only line in the flick - no line and he only draws extra money, instead of scale.

Don't forget how they wrote out the black doctor who was in the movie, and also how dramatically they changed the Frank Burns character from what Altman had written.

You forgot martial artist/brain surgeon/rocket scientist, @avclub-d72f705337e5adcf7e33ec0381c5f5b2:disqus

Speaking of Brit remakes, what ever happened with Spaced on Fox?  Did they ever put any of those in the can before that project was thankfully mercy-killed?

I dunno, the first one was good, but the second was just absolutely ludicrous.  It probably helped that I was more familiar with the Rambo/Missing in Action/Sniper films than with Top Gun, but the second was still better, in my opinion.

@Fraggins:disqus   I don't remember what exactly his ailment was in "My Left Foot" but I always considered it "retarded" to some degree.  Might've been cerebral palsy, which I'm not sure qualifies.

We also would've accepted Elliott Gould in M*A*S*H, which was released at the same time as Catch-22, had a much less well-known cast, and yet crushed it completely.

My favorite one of those was the intro to Snake Eyes.  It was a really cool cinematic achievement just following Cage into the arena, but as soon as Gary Sinise gets up to talk to the redhead, the tension just ratcheted up even more.

"Player hate"

Eh, Claudia and Saul Rubinek are the only good parts left on that show.  At least the actors can actually make you feel like you know who the characters are, even if they're characters you don't particularly like.

I was going to make some joke about Tyne Daly here, but then I remembered that they'd gotten a new mayor by the time the third Dirty Harry movie was made.

Don't you mean Luis Guzman?

Do not forget about Stiller
Who was once mere comedy filler,
But he's gotten so bad
Ben's making his dad
Wish he'd seen a fetus killer.

Or hell, what about the time in Skorpio where Lana asks Archer "Where'd you get that grenade?" and he says "Hanging from the lampshade, Lana!"
