I grew up with the Stooges slapstick when they were still played as shorts between double features at the local theater.  I still watch them on cable when I can catch them.  I remember watching Stooges back in the day when the movie screens had curtains in front of them and two movies were less than two bucks.  It was the mid to late sixties and that type of movie theater era was fading fast as the seventies approached.  I think they did a good job with the new Stooges movie but I wonder if it would have been better in black and white? 

Moe: Hey, onion-head, go on back to the shed and grab the chainsaw.
Curly: Why doesn't Larry go?
Moe: 'Cause he's got a headache.
Larry: No, I don't.
[Moe bonks Larry on the head with a hammer]
Moe: How about now?
Larry: [holding his head] Yeah, it's coming on.
