Help Cast The DE Political Blogosphere Movie

Here is something we have not tried in a while. I guess the summer slowdown and talk of identity have put me the mood to put on my casting director’s hat.

Me > I’m hoping for Ron Livingston but will probably be played by Oliver Platt.

Mike Castle > Steve Buscemi
Tom Carper > James Woods
Liberalgeek > John Favreau (SP?)
Donviti > Vince Vaughn
Delaware Dem > Mark Walhberg
Mike Mathews > Jarred from Subway
Tommywonk > Gregory Peck

Help me fill out the list. I’m not as great at casting women. The only part I’ve filled so far is KWS.

  1. Using other characters, not actors…

    Mike P -> Supreme Chancellor Palpatine
    J O -> Anakin Skywalker (does Palpatine’s bidding via loyalty and ultimately…)
    Evan Q -> Originally Darth Maul, but recast as Count Dooku (loyal to Palpatine, does bidding for greater gain, but only to ultimately be betrayed in favor of deeper loyalty of Skywalker)
    Me -> Obi-Wan (insists there is good in all, to a fault of death, and can be quite annoying with insistance in making points)
    Geek -> R2D2…dude, you’re a techno-geek with all the cool gadgets, what can I say?
    DV -> C3P0, no real reason other than you both are huge clutzes when trying to do simple things, such as walking.
    nemski -> Jedi Knight Ki-Adi-Mundi. Just because. Maybe it’s the facial hair (and the whiteness of it), who knows.

    That’s all for now. Gotta do real work.

  2. pandora –> Sandra Bullock
    Cassandra –> Angela Bassett
    Maria Evans –> Jennifer Lopez
    me –> Angelina Jolie, of course

  3. Smitty, Who’s Darth Maul?
    *sigh* such a divide among the genders when it comes to real movies! 😉

    Darth Maul. He was the original apprentice of Darth Siddius (Palpatine), doing his more evil bidding. Even I thought that was a little too misplaced.

  4. Actually I know who Darth Maul is. Why did you assume this is a gender thing? Anyway, I worded the question ambiguously. I meant, which DE blogosphere-ite is Darth Maul. To describe – Darth Maul is evil and scary but gets his butt kicked in the end. Who would that be?

    Liberalgeek > John Favreau

    Only if Kevin James is not available.

    Mike W. – Pauly Shore
    Tom S. – Rob Schneider
    Hube – Gilbert Gottfried

  6. Why did you assume this is a gender thing?
    😆 Because I always get, “that is such a guy thing” when it comes to sets like Star Wars or Star Trek. Really, it’s a nicer way of saying, “You know, these are movies for adolecents!”

    As far as the casting, I was assigning the character to the “real” blogosphere name. I kind of twisted Jason’s request for effect. I originally was giving EQ the Darth Maul role, but then recast him into Dooku, for I see his end-game not from getting his ass kicked, but rather from a diabolical plot.

    Like I said about myself in the second comment:
    RSmitty -> Ben Stiller: I want to be funny, I try to be funny, but only bad shit happens…hilarity ensues.

  7. Mike W. – Pauly Shore

    Pauly Shore with a gun?!

    Teabaggers – extras in zombie makeup

  15. Whatever Nemski. For you we’ll need someone who never posts real posts and then laments that fact that DL is lacking in real posts.

  16. : nemski slowly moves hand from the left to the right in front of RSmitty :

    There’s nothing going on here. You can move on.

  17. I want to be played by Camryn Mannheim – but she has to cut her hair shorter….

    “”If I am presented with the choice of a rice cake or tiramisu, I know that Ms. Smith would so desperately want me to choose that rice cake … But that’s not living. That’s merely existing. And I want to live in a world with tiramisu.””

  18. anon

    Jason – Dick Cheney
