At last, we'll confirm that Gilligan really does want to touch Mary Ann's heiney.

flucto		2005-09-27 11:01:53 AM

Could somebody please, please nail Mary Ann this time?

szmike		2005-09-27 11:02:00 AM

Shouldn't this be either

?

Boobies?

szmike		2005-09-27 11:03:44 AM

Curse you flucto and krelborne. My well being depends on being the first person to post a message to these threads. *sigh* I'm gonna head over to Ain't It Cool and hit refresh every five seconds.

Hollywood needs to stop making movies, and China needs to make more.

mediaho		2005-09-27 11:12:15 AM

Dear Hollywood,

Suck it.

Love,

Dear movie-going public,

Stop watching this garbage and maybe they'll try harder.

Love,

I'm glad Bob isn't alive to see this.

doublebonus		2005-09-27 11:15:34 AM

and lots of fart and gorilla poop jokes.

and it will make $200 million and Hollywood will continue to laugh at how stupid Americans are.

platts42		2005-09-27 11:17:09 AM

Bob Denver is already spinning and he's not even cold. Hook him up to some wires and power the town.

Get Smart re-make announcement in 3...2...1...

squishydrew		2005-09-27 11:18:37 AM

I don't care what anyone says - I like Adam Sandler.

/SCUBA STEVE! DAMN YOU!

Cruiser7		2005-09-27 11:19:14 AM

As much as I can't stand Adam "was mildly funny 10 years ago" Sandler, I blame, and curse, Sherwood Schwartz if this goes through. Have some damned dignity, man!

mediaho		2005-09-27 11:20:57 AM

Cruiser7: Have some damned dignity, man!

Perhaps you aren't familiar with Mr. Schwartz' body of work. It's hardly dignified.

Hyernel		2005-09-27 11:28:05 AM

Chris Farley would have made a fantastic Skipper.

Isn't "Lost" somewhat a remake of Gilligans Island?

Heh, c'mon... If "the Brady Bunch Variety Hour" doesn't scream dignity, then surely nothing does!

StrikitRich		2005-09-27 11:38:11 AM

Cast (in alphabetical order)
Steve Carell .... Maxwell Smart

Guess we now know what sent poor Don over the edge.

vernonFL		2005-09-27 11:54:09 AM

I will be very disappointed if the Harlem Globetrotters don't make a cameo.

Confabulat		2005-09-27 11:56:22 AM

I think this is a mistake.

Other reports have Adam Sandler recruiting ROB SCHNEIDER as Gilligan, with Brian Dennehey as the Skipper.

Maybe he can play the Professor.

brap		2005-09-27 12:07:06 PM

Lovey, get my checkbook.

Oh, Thirsty are you going to buy us some Jujubes whilst we enjoy this latest cinematic abortion featuring Adam Sandler?

No, I am going to Louis Vuitton to purchase bejewelled vomit satchels.

Mugato		2005-09-27 12:22:15 PM

Just farking die, Hollywood. Die now.

Data Pimp		2005-09-27 12:53:41 PM

What, no Awesomeo reference yet?

Coming up next, a "Three Stooges" movie starring Adam Sandler, Jim Carey, and Ben Stiller.

Hollywood continues its golden shower on movie goers, intent on preventing video piracy by making sure no videos are worth pirating.

StrikitRich		2005-09-27 12:57:36 PM

If this movie is another Sandler charity vehicle for Rob Schneider, my guess is that Ginger will be the one to bag Mary Ann.

rbuzby		2005-09-27 03:24:10 PM

I am sorry people but Sandler mostly sucks. Wedding Singer and Happy Gilmore were fine, but thats it.

I cant believe anybody could watch that stupid water boy movie where he did that annoying voice for 2 hours.

Eidolon		2005-09-27 03:25:12 PM

Oh God, when Bob Denver hears this he's gonna have a heart attack.

Sasquatchuan		2005-09-27 03:25:34 PM

The only thing that could redeem this movie, is if John Turturro (sp?) is in it.

Mr. Deeds was otherwise crap. I guess the Space Oddity moment was somewhat amusing.

puckhead		2005-09-27 03:25:38 PM

blasphemy.

MrLint		2005-09-27 03:25:46 PM

Adam Sandler is *NOT* Gilligan. mpaa please die

I don't know what's worse, our politicians or our entertaniment.

Adman12		2005-09-27 03:27:19 PM

Rack up another vote for the banging of Mary Ann.

And Bailey Quarters, too, if Hollywood ever wrecks WKRP by making amovie out of it.

/what, no voting?

ScummyTheGymbag		2005-09-27 03:28:05 PM

StrikitRich

No, no, no. Vanessa Redgrave as Mrs. Howell bags Jean Louisa Kelley as Mary Ann.

ignoramus		2005-09-27 03:28:26 PM

Whats the deal with all this Gilligan's Island crap? It was a crappy show then, a worse reality show now, and will be teh suck (regardless of cast). But hey, if you liked the Scooby Doo or Flinstones movies, this one just might be for you!

FarkLordOfTheSith		2005-09-27 03:28:44 PM

Bob Denver's body isn't even cold yet, and they're already taking a huge farking dump on his legacy.

/Sandler was never funny
//Neither was Rob Schneider
///slashes just for the fun of it

kliq		2005-09-27 03:29:12 PM

If this involves sending Adam Sandler to a deserted island where he can never return from, count me in.

dittybopper		2005-09-27 03:29:14 PM

When the Water Boy is dead, Magua will eat his heart. Before he dies, Magua will put his films under the knife, so the Water Boy will know his seed is wiped out forever.

quiefNpea		2005-09-27 03:29:58 PM

Maryann was hot.
Gilligan was dumb.
Prof was stupid.
...

/She is still hot. For a milf...
//Just sayin before the FBI takes away softcore next...

Musicology101		2005-09-27 03:30:13 PM

So, is this going to be called "The Real, real Gilligans Island"
Or "Gilligan's Island: The Motion Picture"

ignoramus		2005-09-27 03:30:21 PM

Adam Sandler has Affleckism.

rmdw		2005-09-27 03:30:28 PM

Data Pimp, ask and ye shall receive:

Um... okay. How about this: [the staffers take pen to paper and anticipate the ideas] Adam Sandler is like, in love with some girl, but then it turns out that the girl is actually a ...golden retriever, or something.

Okay, how about this: Adam Sandler... inherits like, a billion dollars, but first, he has to, like, become a ...boxer, or something.

Movie idea number two thousand three hundred and five: Adam Sandler is trapped on an island and falls in love with a coconut.

Jeff061		2005-09-27 03:30:31 PM

Adam Sandler as Waterboy on SNL with Alec Baldwin was good stuff.

It was only 5 minutes though.

buntz		2005-09-27 03:31:03 PM

I would hit the TV version of Bailey Quarters, a movie version of Bailey Quarters and a Honey I Shrunk the Kids version of Bailey Quarters

paygun		2005-09-27 03:31:41 PM

Yeah, piracy. That's why sales are down. Don't even try to take your thumb out of your ass long enough to make a decent movie Hollywood.

el_kabong777		2005-09-27 03:31:41 PM

So many signs of the apocalypse; I've stopped counting

/got my helmet though

squishydrew		2005-09-27 03:32:02 PM

Shampoo is better - I go on first and clean the hair!

Conditioner is better - I go on and make the hair silky and smooth!

Oh really, fool?

Really!

STOP LOOKING AT ME, SWAN!

katghoti		2005-09-27 03:32:41 PM

Just sit right back and I'll tell you tale
a tale of a bunch of shiat
That started from hollywood
because we are all dips...

imdanimal		2005-09-27 03:33:28 PM

Why hasn't Hollywood made a Jetsons movie yet? Maybe they too are waiting for flying cars.

George W Brush		2005-09-27 03:33:30 PM

I am an incompetent moron, but Sander sucks big time.

LesserEvil		2005-09-27 03:33:43 PM

Rob Schnieder as Gilligan and Brian Dennehy as the Skipper...

Adam Sandler will play Thurston Howell III, and Norm McDonald will play the Professor (Note to self: Coconuts and paperclips can be used to make personal voice recorders)

Drew Barrymore will play Lovey, and two otherwise unknown but hot actresses will play Mary Ann and Ginger (and never play another role again).

Maybe David Spade will come in as Wrong-way Feldman...
