Hollywood wants to make a big-budget movie based on the DU Lounge. Who should be cast to play you?

[LynneSin]

To play the part of LynneSin will be Toni Colette. I think she's a versatile actress who can do american accents and not afraid to gain a few pounds to play the part perfectly. I expect she'll win an Oscar in 2012 for this role and will thank me graciously for the inspiration I have given her.

[gratuitous]

1. Bruce Campbell IS gratuitous

Wait, you said "big budget," didn't you?

[Tom_Foolery]

2. Clint Howard.

[LynneSin]

3. But I don't think we could secure Ron Howard as director

:rofl:

[Tom_Foolery]

26. Are you implying that Clint gets acting jobs because of Ron?

I think it's because he lets his co-workers take a bite of his PBJ sandwich!!!:hi:

[Kaleva]

86. I do believe that was the implication.

Other then bit parts on "Seinfield" & "My name is Earl", it does seem every job Clint has had in the past few decades has been related to his elder brother.

[KamaAina]

4. Steve Carell

as the 46-year-old near-virgin. :(

[NewJeffCT]

5. A few loungers have said I look like Tom Hanks

so, I'd say a cameo from Tom Hanks would be in line, as I've mostly been a cameo type person here...

[HopeHoops]

6. Tommy Chong

:hippie:

[jakeXT]

7. "uncredited"

[Throd]

8. Randy Quaid

[ohiosmith]

9. Jonathan Winters

[edbermac]

10. Nick Nolte

[Forkboy]

11. Sweetums

[TZ]

14. Really. I always saw you as a Mr. Snufflepagus...

:P

[Forkboy]

17. I'm probably closest to Crazy Harry.

[MilesColtrane]

12. Stephen Root as MilesColtrane

[JonLP24]

13. I'll go with Jim Carrey

Not that I think I'm funny, I'm just trying to think of someone that looks like me. Carrey comes close but I can't think of any actor that looks pretty close to what I look like.

[Mopar151]

15. Mick Foley, aka Cactus Jack

[Joe Fields]

16. John Wayne is dead. I couldn't be cast.

[nolabear]

18. I'd LIKE Catherine Zeta Jones. Realistically? Kathy Bates.

[MiddleFingerMom]

51. You think YOU'D like Catherine Zeta Jones?!?!?!?!? n/t

[WinkyDink]

69. *rim-shot*

[nolabear]

89. Yeah but Kathy Bates is REALLY smart and funny and...and...

*sigh*

[sakabatou]

19. Paul Iacono

Kinda looks like me only I have rectangular glasses.

[XemaSab]

20. Janeane Garofalo (sp)

:P

[Rosie1223]

21. Dibs on Sandra Bullock

not because she looks anything like me, I just think she's cool.

:hi:

[Mad_Dem_X]

65. LOL - I chose her mainly 'cause of her looks

I've been told I look like her. :)

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

22. Bozo the Clown nt

[MrCoffee]

23. Mr. Gilbert Gottfried

[guitar man]

24. Billy Bob Thornton

I get compared to him a lot :crazy:

[dawg]

25. Maybe this guy.

I like to think of myself as a Jedi.

[Graybeard]

27. Donald Sutherland

I just saw Donald Sutherland on the SAG Awards show

all decked out in full whiskers. He's my man!;)

[BlueIris]

28. Big budget? Claire Danes. Less big: Allison Mack.

In my dreams: Mira Sorvino.

[krispos42]

85. I first read that as "Claire Dames".

Who I admire greatly for her performances. ;-)

[Courtesy Flush]

29. I claim Jeff Bridges.

No resemblance, but who cares? Nobody here knows what I look like anyway.

[LynneSin]

31. You just want the thrill of The Dude playing you

:rofl:

[Courtesy Flush]

34. Busted

You know me well.

[LynneSin]

61. The Dude Abides

:D

[Bucky]

30. They'll probably give me Philip Seymore Hoffman, but in my mind I'll always be Jason Lee

[LynneSin]

33. Yes but hot Jason Lee or Redneck Jason Lee

or

[RandomThoughts]

32. If that was the case, and a movie was really being made

I think the character that would play me should be random symbolic imagery with mixed metaphors and meaning.

So my role would be acted by.



On some bar somewhere in the middle of conversations.


And I am due beer and travel money and many experiences.

[PassingFair]

35. Today, it would be Brenda Vaccaro, because I have a sore throat and....

it's THAT time of the month.



TMI?

[ScreamingMeemie]

41. Totally Katey Sagal

Every time I see her, I think of you. :loveya:

[PassingFair]

58. That beats Jame's assessment (along with a few others...) of Bea Arthur!

[pacalo]

36. Goldie Hawn.

It's the happy-go-lucky attitude, seemingly ditzy at times, that can transcend into assertiveness when necessary.

My personality is most like Farrah Fawcett's flirtatious, in-love-with-life persona, but, sadly, she's not with us anymore.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

37. Phyllis Diller.

[BOG PERSON]

38. meryl streep

meryl streep will be cast as BOG PERSON, the clever rascal who successfully lobbied the supreme court to recognize bad checks as a form of free speech

[Darth_Kitten]

39. Honey, she hasn't been born yet.

;)

:evilgrin:

[GoCubsGo]

40. Julie Kavener's head stuck on Nigella Lawson's body

Nigella is the only relatively famous person I can think of who is built like me. I am told I look like Julie Kavner, and I guess I see some resemblance to her, facially, anyway.

[dawg]

81. That's certainly an interesting combo.

I can see how Julie's face combined with Nigella's curves could be a good look for a woman.

If you can cook like Nigella and talk with that raspy Marge Simpson voice, we *have* to meet! :loveya:

[sarge43]

42. Cathy Bates. n/t

[Kali]

43. hahahahha

I have no idea, but I would be amused to read the suggestions from other loungers.


:rofl:

[siligut]

59. How I see you

But without all the makeup.

[Kali]

73. I'm so out of touch!

Had (have) no clue who that is - had to ask the movie fiend son so I could look her up. We share the same middle name, but wow not much else! She is brunette and beautiful - I'm dirty blond and well, NOT gorgeous THAT is for sure:rofl:

Totally flattered from what I could see with a quick google! :blush:

[siligut]

76. From your moniker and your posts

And because you ranch, all those things give me that image of you. I think when I read your post, I misinterpreted it, I thought you meant we could post who we thought should portray you.

[Kali]

82. that is what I meant

just wasn't expecting a beautiful actress so I was flattered

[siligut]

83. Then that is good

She has a strong, intelligent face and very effective eyes. I picture you in jeans, boots and a red shirt, and your hair would be longer. MFM would probably be better at this, but I just had this picture in my head when I read your post.

[Lasher]

44. A lot of different people could play Skittles

As long as they wore a tuxedo t-shirt and pajama jeans.

:hide:

[sarge43]

46. And a big pair of combat boots. n/t

[Lasher]

47. I was thinking a pink pair of Crocs.

But I guess she could switch between scenes.

[sarge43]

48. Crocs don't lend themselves well to butt kicking.

However, for the love scenes ...

[Tikki]

45. Joan Jett, I wish...

in your dreams...

Tikki

[Curmudgeoness]

49. Shirley MacLain resurrecting the role of Ouiser from

Steel Magnolias. Everyone I knew when we saw that movie laughed at how much she was like me. I didn't know whether I should have been offended or not. I went with "not".

[Mad_Dem_X]

66. That's a great character!

I want to be like that when I get older.

[Curmudgeoness]

74. It is a great character. Sadly, I wasn't all that old when

everyone was telling me that was just like me. But as I get older, I get more like her---except for all the rich husbands. Where did I go wrong!!!

[Broken_Hero]

50. I say, Patrick Warburton

to play flvegan...for myself, a CGI version of Christopher Reeve in his Superman role. :)

[MiddleFingerMom]

52. Andy Devine:

[KeepItReal]

53. Chris Tucker as KeepItReal

He'd have to shave his head, though...and put some bass in his voice!

[pepperbear]

54. harvey fierstein

[Manifestor_of_Light]

55. Dame Judi Dench.

Can't think of any other middle aged white ladies that get parts in movies.

She's cool.

[Inchworm]

56. Frank Fontaine

AKA "Crazy" Guggenheim

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThGk0SH7R70

:+

[old mark]

57. Old Mark MUST be played by Bruce Willis.

We share a common hairstyle, and sensitive yet masculine looks...and we are both short...


mark

[WinkyDink]

68. How's your perpetual smirk?

[old mark]

75. I habitually snarl more than smirk, but I can work on it....

I'm usually smirking on the inside...


mark

[dawg]

79. IMDB lists Bruce Willis as 6'

If that's short, I'm a freakin' dwarf.

[bluedigger]

60. I'll was going to take take Ed Harris, thanks, but...

He's a little old, but a fine actor, well able to capture the subtle nuances that be me.:P

The wimmenses have also favorably compared me to Henry Fonda :thumbsup: , Steven Segall :thumbsdown:, the Brawny Paper Towel Guy :shrug:, and my personal favorite Yukon Cornelius :rofl:!

Screw it - Yukon needs the work more - I'll take him!

[WinkyDink]

70. I love Ed Harris!

[mentalsolstice]

62. Tina Fey would be cool...

[HughBeaumont]

63. Clive Owen.

And yes, I do look like that.

[Mad_Dem_X]

64. Sandra Bullock. n/t

[WinkyDink]

67. Only Meryl Streep can do justice to my infinite variety and ageless beauty. :-)

[rbnyc]

71. Christina Hendricks

[struggle4progress]

72. I don't care who plays me. I wanna know who plays all my girlfriends and if I get to meet them

[El Supremo]

77. Antonio Bandaras!

[YellowRubberDuckie]

78. Melissa McCarthy.

She is one of my favorite actresses. And I see a lot of my goofy self in her.

[Rabrrrrrr]

80. Anthony Hopkins - he could handle the complexity, and handle speaking like I do (or write, anyway).

He'd be great on a 400 word period-less rant, the sarcastic one-liners, the crazy talk, as well as the thoughtful political insights and sensitive personal help posts I offer on occasion.

And I think he could also manage the sometimes harsh midwestern accent that's been touched by years in NYC.

[femmocrat]

84. Doubt if she would take a cameo.... but Catherine Zeta Jones.

It would be barely more than a walk-on, actually.

[Kaleva]

87. Nick Frost

I'm not a young, buff or as good looking as he but he'll do.

[mysuzuki2]

88. Danny Devito

[soleiri]

90. America Ferrera

On DU.

Outside of DU, Michelle Rodriguez, because i'm such a badass in real life*
