Help Cast The DE Political Blogosphere Movie

Filed in National by on August 19, 2009

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. RSmitty -> Ben Stiller: I want to be funny, I try to be funny, but only bad shit happens…hilarity ensues.

  2. 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.

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

  4. Smitty,

    Who’s Darth Maul?

  5. 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.

  6. 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

  8. 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.

    Mike W. – Pauly Shore

    Pauly Shore with a gun?!

  10. vince vaughn says:

    Donviti is an awesome choice!!!

  11. talking toaster says:

    Hube – Gilbert Gottfried

    lmao

  12. not sexist says:

    Maria Evans –> Jennifer Lopez

    bootylicious

  13. not sexist says:

    Actually I know who Darth Maul is. Why did you assume this is a gender thing?

    because it’s STAR WARS FOR PETE’S SAKE

  14. MJ says:

    Me –> Kevin Spacey
    RWR –> Slim Pickens (in his roles in Dr. Stangelove and Blazzing Saddles)

  15. nemski says:

    Chewie might be me.

  16. LOL, I’m sure DV thinks he’s Han Solo.

  17. nemski says:

    Jason330 -> Quisling (character from history)

  18. anon says:

    Teabaggers – extras in zombie makeup

  19. jason330 says:

    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.

  20. X Stryker says:

    Me: Alan Ruck.

    Awesome actor who often ends up in bit parts. Best remembered as Cameron Frye, Ferris’s best friend from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

  21. OK, did I miss a string of posts or comments that would cause a correlation of jason330 to Quisling (or the term Quisling, thanks to the actions of Quisling)?

  22. nemski says:

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

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

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

    Jason – Dick Cheney
