So Tobey Maguire can play me in a movie huh? I’m not too sure that I agree with someone like that. Personally, I would like Vince Vaughn to be me in the film; he is a pretty funny, cool guy that could definitely pull it off!

I tried to come up with an altered cast to the one that P-Bo chose. Here is what I would go with—no disrespect at all to your cast, P-Bo. This film would be like The Simpsons Movie, it would revolve around the main characters (regulars, who frequently contribute and/or have been long-time members) and various supporting roles (given out to members that mostly chime in every now and then.) I am judging this solely on personalities—except where noted. Sorry if someone got left out:

Mark F – Michael Caine (playing the elder, caring person that watches over everyone)
Ericg75 – Ron Livingston (reprising his role from Office Space)
FragileKidA – Vince Vaughn (any role is fine)
Monkey_Boy – Samuel L. Jackson (playing a gentle person, Jackson can draw from his work in Unbreakable as a comic book lover)
Mike – Billy Bob Thornton (playing the cool, funny guy)
Crazed – Peter Sellers (circa The Pink Panther, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb to be an eccentric music/movie true, enthusiast)
PRG – Nicolas Cage (only because he says he looks like him)
RavingLunatic – Steve Buscemi (drawing from many roles to play the “unique snowflake”)
Ishmael’s Coffin – Bruce Willis (a witty guy and Willis pulls off the accent, plus M_B would potentially fall for him)

Various supporting roles:
BobA – Peter Jackson (all for the accent)
P-Bo – Thomas Haden Church (in Sideways, the crazy guy that sometimes can flip out and loves gold)
Dork – Adam Sandler (in Punch-Drunk Love, very shy, secretive but can explode when he wants)
MajorNougat – Sean Penn (drawing from roles where he could be a sometimes funny and lately, grouchy person)
Maximum Jack – Jimmy Fallon
Il Mago – Casey Affleck
Kendocubano – Oliver Platt
L.R. William Spencer – William H. Macy (the troubled individual that is having issues compiling the lists)
Sinister – Hale Joel Osment

I like Hodgman. He doesn't have my acting chops though.

If I shaved my goatee I think I might be a dead ringer for him though.

Given my age and accent, I'd go with Steve Bisley (although I'm still hoping Jessica Lange will agree to terms)

This is the best I can do to assist. I'm 30 so Thomas Haden Church is probably a bit old for me. I do love wine though. I used to get Andre Agassi when I was younger.

i'm not a major player by any means, but if i had to cast myself in anything, i'd be played by tim roth, because he looks exactly like me, and he's got the acting chops to handle my intense mood shifts.

Don't feel bad. FKA cast me in a bit role as "Guy #3 in Adult Book Store" even though I'm producing the movie and acting as third-string, emergency key grip. Not only are you in, your getting a sex scene in the sequel.

The only role I've seen Oliver Platt in was as Porthos in The Three Musketeers. A good enough role, and not far off the mark. But, are you sure you didn't mean Oliver Reed? I think I'm more of an Athos.

I wonder if you're mythologizing me, like I do you

Maybe he meant Bill Sikes from Oliver. Wait, that was Oliver Reed. Disregard.

Don't worry P-Bo, I just thought I would include you in the film because you weren't included in your cast. As long as I still get to be the second person mentioned then I am cool with that. You can still produce it, but I need to be top-billing and I demand a lot of money.

And I thought that Thomas Haden Church was a compliment? I also just realzied that I put
quote:
P-Bo – Thomas Haden Church (in Sideways, the crazy guy that sometimes can flip out and loves gold)
when I actually meant "loves golf," my aplogies.

As for kendo, I did mean Oliver Platt. I have only seen him in A View to Kill and now in "The Bronx is Burning" but I just thought it fit.

Since Thomas Haden Church came up, I think I should mention I fancy myself played by Paul Giamatti (ERNEST BE DAMNED!) I mean...fat, sarcastic schlub. Look at me with the fish, I think you'll have to agree.

I've never seen the film, but as long as he turns out to be a serial killer, it's probably really accurate.

Don't forget his adorable, baby-like, chubby cheeks! Wink

Wait, you need to go here and tell us more about yourself. And about the fish.

I'm pretty sure I can only be played by a young Al Pacino. We'll have to travel back in time and snag him even before he does The Godfather.

Also he'll have to gain some weight.

And with that, you've risen to #2 on the metacritic forum creep list Razzer, behind only the guy that keeps asking about mark f's daughter.

Plus, it looks like a years-old thread of hers was bumped... BY FKA!
