rosie o' donnell- as betty in the live- action version of the flintstones

joseph gordon levitt- cobra commander in the upcoming GI. joe movie

kate bosworth- lois lane (superman returns)

keanu reeves- constantine, well in fact any movie he's been in, regarded by many as a joke when it comes to acting

vinny jones- as juggernaut in -X3, the third movie in the x-men trilogy

Lucy liu, drew barrymore, cameron diaz- as alex munday, dylan sanders and natalie cook (charlie's angels)

vince vaughn- norman bates (remake of psycho)

what are your choices?

How in the sam hill did anyone think Vince could pull off Norman??? I however think that Rosie played Betty very well. Her friend Madonna, if she's in a title female part, is box office poison and has the acting chops to back it up.

I'd say this takes the cake...

Kate Bosworth was a terrible choice. A 23 year old Lois lane with a ten year old son. Yeah, that made sense.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Cobra Commander? What the Hell? I am not going to get any sleep tonight.

You didn't like Vinny Jones in X3?

Off the top of my head, Madonna was a horrible choice for Evita. She did not have the voice to sing that part.

Oh my

regarding Madonna. She won a Golden Globe for her performance. As a matter of fact, she studied with a voice coach to train herself vocally. I have that soundtrack and her voice never sounded better. The clarity and the softness are so beautiful. Not that pop voice we had been hearing since her Like A Virgin days.

As for the Honeymooners, I agree. Can't argue that point.

I also agree with the Charlie Angels movie and casting those three. I am especially

uke: with the choice of Cameron Diaz. I mean, does she (other than Jennifer Aniston) have to be in every single movie that is made?

^ Find a copy of the original broadway recording of Evita with Patti Lupone.

Madonna doesn't even come close.

I have heard Patti's singing. Remarkable lady. But Patti is Patti and Madonna is Madonna. It is no different than comparing someone to Mariah Carey. You just can't. Patti is in a league all her own. So is Mariah. And of course, so is Madonna.
