Russell Crowe To Play Comedian Bill Hicks in Upcoming Bio-pic

August 21, 2008 - 5:35 pm By COED Staff

When you think of Russell Crowe, comedy isn’t the first thing that comes to mind–unless, of course, pummeling a dude in the face with a metal helmet is your idea of humor. Which is why when we heard Russell Crowe announced that he told the Sydney Morning Herald that he might be playing comedian Bill Hicks in an upcoming bio-pic, the first thing we did was laugh.

But then we remembered that Bill Hicks was a total badass. From the great state of Texas, Hicks’ pissed-off, stand-up/rant style of comedy landed him the #19 spot on Comedy Central’s ‘Greatest Stand-Ups of All Time.’ But like all good things, Bill’s end came too quickly, dying from pancreatic cancer at age 32. So since we were blue-balled with that one, a bio pic is definitely in order.

Check out a very NSFW (language) Bill Hicks stand-up act after the jump!

Why is it a bad idea? Bill deserves to be remembered.. and as long as the ‘right’ people are talked to, to get the story right, Russell Crow would be perfect… hell, I’ll bet Bill would have even liked the idea.

Have you forgotten that “Carrot Top” won the best comic of the year.. the year Bill died and was finally nominated…What a joke! That was wrong in so many ways…..I serously dout Russell Crowe or anyone is going to be doing a movie about him.

I knew Bill, and he left WAY to soon.

Nowadays, ‘alt porn’ (i.e. naked chicks with tattoos and/or neon-colored hair) is commonplace, a much needed change from the omnipresent blond hair and fake t*ts that have made up the American porn scene for far too long. And it’s all thanks to the punky pornographers at SuicideGirls.com. Of course, there are now tons of copycat Sites, but the lovely ladies of SG will always hold a special place in our pants hearts.
