: Hell yes Chevy still has it.
>>Prove it. Name one movie he's done in the past ten years that didn't suck.
: No matter how old he gets, he'll never lose it.
>>He never had it.
: His unmatchable timing and smart-ass remarks cannot be imitated by ANY actor.
>>Yup. Timing is what made YOU HEAVENLY DOG! a success. Oh wait, it wasn't a success. Well, timing is what made THE CHEVY CHASE SHOW the...oh...nevermind.
: De Niro can play Pacino roles. Pacino can play De Niro roles. There is no actor that can play Chevy role.
>>That's a compliment to most actors. "You mean, I don't suck as bad as Chevy? Thank God!!"
: if you take Chevy out of Fletch, Vacations, etc., they are not the same movies.
>>With the exception of some Vacation movies, they aren't the same movie...they're better.
: you can't say that about every other actor. he was born with a gift-he's not going to lose that gift due to age.
>>What gift do you speak of? The gift to make a great and wonderful novel like Fletch into a mediocre slapstick comedy about a guy that puts on a bunch of different disguises and acts silly for no reason?
: When Chevy makes his comeback like Travolta did, I'm going to post here and rub your faces in it. It will be soon, my friends...It WILL be soon...
>>Yup. BATTLEFIELD: EARTH = MONSTER comeback for Travolta. That, combined with SWORDFISH and LUCKY NUMBERS.
>>Get a clue. Read the summaries to find out what REALLY happened, and read the books to see how viciously Chevy raped the greatness that were the Fletch novels. If you ask anyone with an IQ above 100 who has read the Fletch novels who would be better for Fletch Won, Chase or Lee, and they'll all say Lee.
>>By the way, Kevin has said that he won't make a Fletch movie without Lee, and the Fletch movie he has decided on is Fletch Won. Stop fighting a losing battle, it's pathetic.
