(EDIT: I thought for a second about the sinking of the HMS <i>Sheffield</i> during the Falklands War, but the mental image of a young Quint standing with the crew and singing "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life" while waiting to be rescued kinda sucks the drama out. The <i>Sheffield</i> took six days to sink. And the crew did sing that song while they waited.) Jonah Hill can be Hooper, as long as he plays it straight.  Hell, let's make Lewis Black play Quint and just sit back and watch what happens. Thank God I'm not bankrolling this production.
