why oh why oh why oh why.....

HOMEY DOES PLAY THAT: Damon Wayans is resurrecting Homey the Clown for a big screen adventure. According to Variety, the My Wife and Kids star has signed a deal to write and star in a feature film based on the moody and militant clown, a character he created on the early-'90s Fox skit show In Living Color. Damon's bro Keenen Ivory will direct. There's no word if ex-Fly Girl Jennifer Lopez will open the film with a dance number.

I'd rather see one with Handi-Man, the (mentally?) Handicapped Superhero!

nope, no character from in living color has had a movie based on a skit. homey the clown will be the first i believe. handicapped man would be good, also fire marshall bill and itd be interesting to see the 'head detective' as a movie if they really decided to push it.

edit: forgot 'wanda', played my Jamie Foxx. this show was my favorite when it was out. i even have taped episodes somewhere in a box... should resurrect them. memories are coming back... like when jim carrey played that barbarian chick... or the 'dirty dozen (or something like that)' game where they crack 'yo mama' jokes.

I am looking foward to it In Living Color was a cool show, Homey the Angry Clowns was funny. The closest thing to a derange Mr. Rogers.

The comparison to SNL is appropriate. A skit cannot be expanded to 90 minutes and still be funny. They keep trying, though.

The non-Homey fans won't go to the movie, and the fans who do go won't like it.

I'd rather have them make a Fire Marshall Bill movie :)

If they're going to stretch a skit into a full length movie, I think Jim Carrey alone would be able to carry it. He makes some pretty horrible movies funny heheh

Come on! Homey the Clown is a classic! I would love to see a movie of that (if it can be pulled off... it's Damon Wayans that's doing it, so i think he can!).

Woot, bring it on!

Skit based movies are always good for 90ish minutes of mindless entertainment, Homey would be a blast!

I'd love to see Homey the Clown driving the "Short bus" at a school.

"Ya'll better shut up that damn moaning and noises and fidgeting"
"Don't make me stop this bus, that wheel chair ain't gonna stop me from gettin' to you boy!"

**pulls out big, dirty sock**


**BAM UPSIDE THE HEAD**

:p:D
