    she's not obnoxious on Mike and Molly and she's really funny on that show.

    Just imagine "Reservoir Dogs" with an all-female cast...

    Actually, that might work...

    I find Chelsea Handler the opposite of funny.

    What about "The Godmother" trilogy? I will make you a Cannoli you can't refuse.

    Sicilian women are much scarier than Sicilian men.

    This thread is funny

    Lol. The biggest fanboy of one of the worst QB's is also a fanboy of one of the worst TV shows. I see a pattern emerging (you have shitty taste).

    Her stand up is not bad. I think it's fairer to judge comedians by their stand up act than by whatever shit TV show or movie they make.

    A matter of taste really. I find her unfunny, even her standup.

    Lisa Lampanelli is a funny ass broad

    Handler would be a nobody if she didn't get her start from banging the Comcast CEO/head of E! network

    I love humorless people breaking down comedy.

    This obsession that Hollywood has with remakes involving casts of opposite sex or opposite race of the original cast is mind-boggling to me.

    Take the "Annie" remake for example. That movie was hyped MORE about it's cast than it was about the legacy it was based on.

    Yeah, but who wouldn't want to see "The Girls From Brazil"?

    I would agree.

    She's more snide than clever or funny and what little I've seen of her show seems to be little more than a bunch of 'B' level comics singing suckup paeans to the host.

    Comics who project the "I'm funny!" vibe either demonstrably (Elaine Boosler) or smugly (Chelsea Handler) are a total turnoff as well - jmo.

    Fans hate this now, imagine how they are going to feel about it when Bill Murray makes a cameo after preventing a ghostbusters 3 from being made by refusing to be in it.

    The 're-imagining' of Star Trek broke my faith in film a while ago. This and all your other suggestions coming to fruition would surprise me, not at all.

    For crying out loud, that was NOT a re-imaging. Don't you know the "mirror universe" when you see it?
