That's why KingPin worked... even though he's black, he pulled off the "esence" of who Kingpin is extremely well. I think he can do the same for Thing.

In fact, he has for decades been referred to as "the ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing." I had no real problem with the Kingpin's race being changed for the DAREDEVIL film, but this is a terrible, terrible idea. No doubt this will not affect most folks' enjoyment of the film, since the average joe has never read the comic, but it will really diminish the enjoyment of longtime fans such as myself.

Update. I went to the site where the Whole Ten Yards trailer was and they have updated the release date (originally said fall 2003) and now its supposed to come out April 9, 2004. I will see the movie. But I doubt I will like it. Maybe it will go directly to video. Crap. Update.

Ok, I know you will all have a list of comedies that you all feel are funnier, or that you think I am off my rocker for thinking this movie was that funny. But it is. Feel free to mock me and question my taste in movies, but as far as comedy goes, I dont think there is much that would tickle my funnybone more than this movie. And MCD was awesome in it. Everyone was. There were rumours of a sequel called "the whole 10 yards" and I even saw a trailer for it. But it hasn't come out. I am sort of glad it didnt.

That said, I think this would be one sweet piece of casting ...
