I don't know why, but I imagined Scot47 more along the lines of Walter Matthau in that movie "Grumpy Old Men"

What about Merryl Sreep as Rhonda Place? She could drag out that old Ozzie accent a la Lindy Chaimberlain in "Evil Angels" again ( I think that's what the movie was called)

Madonna as Jen2003? Where is she by the way? The China Forum is not the same without her.

Ewan MacGregor (a la Trainspotting ) as Freaky Deaky ?

As for the plot .... Question

That was pretty clever. I had to research Bill Paxton, but he seems like a good choice to play me.

Well, I suppose the great Mr. Connery is the obvious choice to portray scot47 and perhaps the best, but Russell Crowe has a certain fierceness that would work well in the role.

Forget casting for a minute, though -- who's going to direct? Jackson, Spielberg, Lucas, Weir, Coppola, Watters, Almodovar, Eastwood, Burton, the Cohen Brothers...so many choices. I guess it depends on whether this is a comedy, drama, mystery, romance, or farce. Maybe all of the above.

I'll take his looks, but I think I can act better (not saying much).

In light of certain events, I think only Clint Eastwood could play Johnslat.

Well, how about Hugh Jackman then, Gordon? He's talented and easy on the eyes.

Mr. Green

Freaky stuff.

You suggested Colin Farrell. Never heard of him. Visited www.imdb.com to find out more.

Find out that I haven't seen a single production he has been in.

Find out that, in a dimly lit room, you might just mistake me for him.

Find out that he and I share the SAME BIRTHDAY for goodness sake!

What are the odds of that happening?

The only other film star that I knew I shared a birthday with was Clint Eastwood.

Is this going to be a good thing Wink

Or am I going to have to dodge the bullet? (Dare I ask how this sentence will end?)



I'm not the biggest fan of Keanu, but my ego could sure use the boost of being The One right about now. Very Happy
