Monkeying around on the set of OSMOSIS JONES'

Published at:  Aug 16, 2000 3:42:39 PM CDT

Hey folks, here is a tidbit. A tiny waif thin slice of insignificance with which to chew upon. That's right, Harry here... and ya know what? There will be MONKEYS!!!! in Osmosis Jones!!! We all know how funny monkeys are... I love them.. and think... think about what the Farrelly Brothers will do with a van load of monkeys, Bill Murray and children... why... this movie will be banned for hilarity in 49 countries including Vatican City's largest multiplex. Children, Primates and Bill Murray... that's almost as cool as a MAN IN SUIT GODZILLA movie. Here ya go...




hi harry,

occasionally i pop into your site for the latest
movie/casting rumors...anyway...

my girlfriend lives in plymouth, mass. , where the
farellys have been shooting with bill murray.

i guess that there are a bunch of MONKEYS in the
movie.

the woman guarding the set afew weeks ago told us that
a van full of monkeys had been coming in out during
shooting.

i dont know if this is news to you or not, but it's
definitely interesting considering the nature of the
film, which will probably prove to be hilarious.
keep up the good work,

-bill em.

    A movie with monkeys? Great! Sounds almost as funny as Murray's "The Razor's Edge" - woo hoo.

    Damnit Harry, SHUT THE FUCK UP about that thrice-shitting rubbe

    Just because you took flak for liking G98 from a bunch of knee-jerk cult-movie freaky motherfuckers is no reason to backpedal and overcompensate. Shit, I like this site, but if you keep this up, I'm gonna drive down to Austin and beat you with another dwarf friend of mine. You've been warned.

    Monkey Funny

    by krang

    Monkey humour never gets old. Never! I agree that monkeys are funnier than many of today's comedians. Imagine a normal show like Seinfeld and replace each character with a monkey. I would be laughing constantly for half and hour. Sure Seinfeld is funny anyway but monkeys are just the icing on the cake. They're unpredicatable and crazy guys. Like that monkey in Being John Malkovich. That guy should have won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor(or Actress, i forget if it was male or female). It was a pretty convinving performance. That monkey made me believe he had a good relationship with Cameron Diaz and was bewildered if not somewhat frightened by John Cusack. Anyway, Monkeys do kick ass. Is it illegal to own a monkey? I'd love one of those carrier monkeys in OutBreak. Without the deadly disease if possible.

    The chimp (I think chimps are apes not monkeys but what the hell do I know?) in "BJM" was a boy whose name was Elijah. It was also funny because in the flashback his parents were calling him by the same name the people were.

    Monkeys - I love monkeys!

    by hudson hawk

    The Hawk here just to say that I was curious about Osmosis Jones, sounded interesting, but now with monkeys involved - holy shit, I'd come out of hiding for this. In fact I'll bring my girlfriend and she'll be so excited too that we'll need to leave early and go partake of some Hot Monkey Sex. Woo-hoo!!! (I wonder if the Monkees will be in the movie, too.)

    by monkeylucifer

    I just popped by to give a bill "WHOO HAA!!!" to all my fellow monkey enthusiasts. Monkeys (apes and prosimians as well) RULE.

    Monkey's?!

    by artobot

    Okay, okay. I agree monkey's are funny. I mean who doesn't? But what in the hell is this movie going to be about?! First I hear good cop/bad cop cartoon movie taking place inside someone's body. Ugh..overdone plot but maybe they can pull it off with the scenereo twist. Next I hear Chris rock is doing the bad cop guy?! That wouldn't have been my first choice. Maybe Mel Gibson or Samuael Jackson (people who have played bad cops, not goofy sidekicks). Don't get me wrong, Chris is funny, but not a badass. Then I hear that this movie has been bumped up to a PG-13 rating because Chris is going to be swearing left and right. I'm all for more adult cartoons but Warner needs to back off. Just because South Park made has had great sucess there pushing it. Now I hear that there will be monkey's in the movie?! What the hell is going on? Also, I've known about this movie for about two years and I've yet to see anything more than a promo poster. If you ask me, I think Warners' gonna eat it on this one.They've been hurting since Brad Bird left.

    guess what?

    by anonomous

    hi, i know what the movie is about... ok, there's bill muirray, and his daughter... i odn't know her name, but word is, she steels the show. anyway, murray's character is frank. frank is a slob, and doesn't take care of himself, so his daughter, shane, has to. uh, the animation is the inside of franks body. chris rock is a good cop, that tries to save frank from an evil virus. screw the monkeys, they're just a small part of nothin...
