Are Depp and Penn "Stooges?"

There's just something irresistibly funny about three fat doofuses beating the shit out of each other for 15-20 minutes at a time.

So yes, I am fan of The Three Stooges.

That said, the news of the Farrelly Brothers helming a feature-length theatrical version doesn't ring to me (or damn-near anyone else) as a good idea.

Gossip site Just Jared reports that the past-their-glory-days There's Something About Mary filmmakers are eyeing (of all people) Johnny Depp for Moe and Sean Penn as Larry with the position of Curly yet to be filled.

Now, do I personally believe any of this? Uh, no.

But this news-item was just too crazy not to bring up.
