Now this is fun.

[featherynscale]

If my life were a film, who do you think would play the main parts and who would direct?

note: As noted by druidevo, this is not which actor do these folk most look like, but who could most likely pull off playing them.

We had to laugh, we BOTH thought of you as Winona Ryder... or maybe Christina Ricci.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

That's cool. In the film of my world, I'd have Jeff Goldblum cast as you, and Reese Witherspoon as Mik.

We saw the new Christina Ricci flick this weekend, btw. It was awful with a capital dreck.

[diermuid.livejournal.com]

Jeff Goldblum... that's funny, since I have FLY hairs growing out of my nose, eyebrows, and toes.

[rio-luna.livejournal.com]

oh we used to play this all the time in Denver! Actully it was one big movie. Neil Warren Noted Thelemite was played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, which if you've seen Neil's puny physique, you'd laugh.

I am alwasy played by Wesley Snipes. Because I want to see Wesley in a pink sundress with mary janes, twirling a parasol yelling "Motherfucker! Load me a bong hit and fetch me a Daiquiri"

But you hmmmm....man that's tough. lmme think on it.

[rio-luna.livejournal.com]

Thora Birch. And John Waters should direct.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Sweet. As much as I'd like to see Wesley Snipes play you in a pink sundress, I'd probably opt for Rosie Perez. The dialogue, though, would remain the same.

[rio-luna.livejournal.com]

Rosie is too on the nose, too Hey look at me I'm a Latina actress.

But thanks for not recommedning JLo.

PS Matt is alwasy played by malkovich. How's that for type casting? "Just stand here John, and blink."

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

It's not the latina so much as the yelling. Nobody can yell like Rosie Perez. Also, J. Lo is not funny. My next choice would probably be Rita Rudner, but she's dead.

I have no other options for Matt. Malkovitch it is.

Then may I suggest

[rio-luna.livejournal.com]

Judy Tenuda. That bicth stole my Act!!!! I mean who else do you know is a Demure Flower of WOmanhood and can yell out "Be my LoveDonkey"?

Re: Then may I suggest

[kittenpants.livejournal.com]

I should know better than to read LJ while eating. Reading this, I just sprayed cracker crumbs all over the screen, the keyboard, the desk, the wall...

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Forgive me. Gilda Radner. Not Rita Rudner.
Coffee first, post later.

Hmmmm, lemme think

[opaljax.livejournal.com]

oooooooooh, Wesley Snipes in a pink sundress. Let me wipe the drool off my chin now. I'm not really a big fan of Wesley Snipes, unless he is in a dress.

[fionnabhar.livejournal.com]

Kinda out there, but here goes:

featherynscale--Bridget Fonda
kittenpants--Liv Tyler
triadruid--Pauly Shore James Spader, who is too old, but there you go
Francis Ford Coppola will direct.

[fionnabhar.livejournal.com]

We'll have to CG Fractal, I think.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Yeesh. The last thing I saw Spader in was Secretary.
*squick*

[rio-luna.livejournal.com]

i have totally wanted to fuck James Spader since before I could drive. And the older fatter and sleazier he gets, the more I want to fuck him.

he's like a very fine, sordid wine.

[fionnabhar.livejournal.com]

He was a tough call. I wasn't entirely happy with that casting decision. Will think on it more.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

No, it's probably a good call. He's got the utter calm and aura of in-control. Spader's just a tad creepy, that's all. I mean, I suppose that triadruid could be creepy, if he were so inclined.

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

Yup. Our boy triadruid can be creepy. He's not so naturally smarmy as James Spader. Sure, I'd fuck him. I just wouldn't trust him.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Sure, I'd fuck him. I just wouldn't trust him.
Which one are you talking about?

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

Oh, c'mon now. Don't ruin my imprecise pronoun fun here. You know it's James Spader that I don't trust. He's got great lips, though.

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

*laugh* I know you and I disagree on Secretary, but I think Spader was very flattering. Thank ya, fionnabhar.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Altogether now, kids: It's a game, not a lifestyle.

Bear with me

[opaljax.livejournal.com]

I know, she's dead. Gilda Radner.

Re: Bear with me

[rio-luna.livejournal.com]

oh Gilda. Gilda. My Queen. I loved her.

Re: Bear with me

[opaljax.livejournal.com]

I'm still thinking on the others.

Re: Bear with me

[opaljax.livejournal.com]

kittenpants should be Megan Mulally (sp) I love her.

Who?

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

Oh, I think I see the similarity now...

Re: Who?

[opaljax.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah, but not 'cause she looks like her. Megan has the capacity to play kittenpants. Ya know, complexity and stuff, plus she's gorgeous (both of them, of course).

Re: Who?

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

I think he was referring to the tendency towards crotch-fondling in public :)

Got it in one.

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

Actually, she doesn't look much like her in that shot, but they do have a certain (complimentary) physical resemblance. Google Image search is my (non-TV-watching) friend.

Re: Bear with me

[opaljax.livejournal.com]

and somebody really good with the special effects thing should direct it. I'm still thinking on triadruid.

Hoo, boy.

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

This is a tough one. For this instant only, and perhaps no other, I'd say this:

featherynscale = Johnny Depp
triadruid = Tilda Swinton
kittenpants = Sophia Loren

Please note that I'm talking about the way you are present in the world, not the way you all look.

Re: Hoo, boy.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Wow. Transvestastic. The sex scenes would be amazing.

Re: Hoo, boy.

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

One devoutly hopes so. And the banter would be dizzying.

Re: Hoo, boy.

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

I get to be Gabriel? Suh-weet, to borrow a phrase.

Age/infirmity/gender not a consideration, right?

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

Subject to change:

featherynscale = Mae West
kittenpants = Raquel Welch
triadruid = Billy Boyd (although I still like James Spader)
Mom = Jennifer Tilly
Dad = Richard Moll
Emperor K (C?) = Christopher Walken
D. (Giraffe Boy) = Malcolm McDowell
The Ex = Eric Stoltz

Re: Age/infirmity/gender not a consideration, right?

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Mae West is my hero. "Ten men are here to see me? I'm tired -- send one of them home."

All good choices... I like you much better as Billy Boyd -- You have your James Spader moments, but that's usually when I leave the room.

I'm a little concerned about Christopher Walken as Emperor Kristoff, though...

As originally posted in triadruid's lj

[druidevo.livejournal.com]

triadruid= Macaulay Culkin (have you seen either 'The Good Son' or 'Saved', trust me he can act), or Adam Sandler (from Punch Drunk Love)
featherynscale= Helena Bonham Carter or Gildna Radner
kittenpants= Carrie Fisher or Marlene Dietrich

Woody Allen and Tim Burton directing, each one doing a scene.

[greektoomey.livejournal.com]

Gary Coleman.

[greektoomey.livejournal.com]

*rushes back in*

No No No Don't kill me that was a joke!

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

I dunno. I'm pretty short and dorky. Might not be a bad choice.
