Epiphanies are had, edgy humor is achieved, Porsches are wrecked. Susan Sarandon cries and enjoys the cathartic eruption of office fire sprinklers. Some kids sing cheerily over the closing credits. It opens March 16. What did I miss?

Sexual Liberation Classic to Be Remade with Naked 3D Orgy?

Writer, director and actor Paul Mazursky , the man who has over the years, given us peeks at the peeks of iconic actresses like Margot Kidder , Maria Conchita Alonso , and Jill Clayburgh has brought up the possibility of remaking one of his most famous films—as long as there can be a 3D orgy scene! Few movies summed up the sexual revolution like Mazursky’s 1969 classic Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice , the story of a couple ( Robert Culp and Natalie Wood) who decide to persuade their best friends ( Elliot Gould and Dyan Cannon ) to do some wife-swapping, giving us a wood-inducing look at Natalie’s bare ass in the process. Mazursky recently told The Wall Street Journal : “They want to remake ‘Bob and Carol,’and I said, if you give me a lot of money upfront and you do the orgy in 3D, I’d be interested.

How about Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis with Angelina Jolie and Elizabeth Mitchell ?
