I love games like this, but don't know that many actors and actresses coz haven't seen that many films and stuff
Well... Mathman Would have to be Brian Blessed!!!
Kevin Costner should play me, coz I can't act either.
Hah! Jack Black would play my part!
less hair - just sayin'
we'll send the piccie to the hairdressers
can vouch for Da being much younger and more handsomer than thatta one, actually.
hmmmm, who would your suggest then Mumz
oooh I'm no good at this game!
Sean Connery?
maybe a younger version then, say from 20 years go
Sally, haven't seen many films? I'm a bit surprised. Thought you would love the romance, fantasy, larger than life aspects of many movies
haven't got a tv and no cinema anywhere near Jer
sally needs a very large aerial
And no Blockbuster or Hollywood Video on Saturn?
Never had TV or been near a cinema *ever* Sally? I mean you were born and raised on Saturn?
never had tv, never been interested in it, been to cinema in the past, but not that often
born on Venus actually, but raised and never left Saturn
did you read a lot growing up?
I thought I detected a hint of Venutian in you.
I knew you'd figure that out eventually
yes, though I also love poetry actually
I've got through phases with poetry. Although it's kinda ordinary, I've always loved Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
What do you think, Mumz? I'm thinking kind of a young Sally Fields, except blonde, for our Sally.
what I think...hmmmm.... well, I can tell you this:
I had to memorize a poem for school twice in my life...
both times it was that snowy woods one.
I never quite understood the point of forcing children to memorize poems
(and I'm an avid reader of poems.... )
I don't get the point of that at all, it kinda spoils the enjoyment imho
well...it's the only one I know all the way thru, to this day. I guess the point is so's you remember it.
Brooke, I think it's a vain attempt to expose our children to poetry. Akin to memorizing dates in history.
I agree... children should be taught to WANT to memorize poems
I didn't get excited about history until I took a college class and finally learned how to look beneath the surface to to assimilate all...
of course, I was too young to understand the *point* of the poem.
that was going on at the time, culturally, socially, politcally, economically, technically, etc.
yups. Dint know much yet in 4th grade.
Yeah, and I think that's what just having kids memorize fails to do... get inside the vision the poet's painting'
jah. took me until college too.
were we too young or did our educators not know how? I'm not sure which is more true
more interested in climbing trees and swimming in the ocean than in memorizing poetry and getting all intellectual.
still is, actually.
oh, and huggles.
yups we do like our funz dont we?
adventures, yups!
So who would play you in our movie, Mumz?
it would have to be someone super awesome
been thinking about thatta one actually Jer and agree with karlski
Robin Williams would play karlski mebe
lol
remember, we're not strapped by things like time, so can be anyone from any era
when I've seen him in films, he always care about folks a lot but also has a lof ot funz *shrug*
there's some truth in Sally's words.
and Mumz would be played by... (whome)?
whome= the really snotty wat to say whom\
might let Sandra Bullock play me, mebbe.
well someone awesomer would be good
What about you and Nils, Brooke?
Amy Adams in this movie somewhere - just sayin'
Meryl Streep for Mumzski!!!
oh she's an amazing actress! Yup, she'd do.
and Da, that's the one I was trying to come up with for Sally: Amy Adams!!!
doesn't know Brooke and Nils at all, really, but what about John and Joan Cusack?
I just asked my RL son who he'd have play me. Guess who he chose?
Sigourney Weaver!
dunno why that's funny, really.
Don't know Amy Adams work... Is she super kind and gracious
she's the star of Enchanted.
Zooey Deschanel has to play Becky
liked Amy Adams in Julie & Julia
that piccie right there could BE Becky!
*giggles* that's perfect, Jer!
Haven't thought about that, Sally, but I kinda like Jack Nicholson for Davy
and yups, Da, that's definitely right about our Becks
points out, for Jer, that Da and Beckty and Squeekz and I have all met each other irl.
and Dandrew, too (I've known him since he was in high school).
THought you were English Mumz
we need someone awesome for Cheryl as well actually
just read that Amy Adams and Meryl Streep were in a movie together, MUmzski!
not sure about Amy Adams playing me though
yups and it's an awesome movie!
who would you choose, Sally?
I keep coming back to the super kind and gracious... need someone who can pull that off
very hard to figure someone that could possible be adequate to portray our Sally.
sweetness, but not too sweet
and humble, definitely totally humble. And guileless.
dunno who I'd choose, but she wears way too much make up, just sayin'
or should I say, not sweetness just for the sake of sweetness. ...oh, yes, Mumz
yep, genuine loveliness thru and thru; not an act.
lol...double humble and a bit shy
figured she'd do that.
*gives Sally huggles*
figures you'd do that. *gives Sally huggles*
what about our Philomathia?
Frances McDormand for Cheryl!
I like her face Thomas, she looks really kind
oh she could prolly play Cheryl pretty well, yups!
seeing as Phil is a morpher, it could be hard to pin an actor down for thatta one
philo will be a challenge. Has to be someone that's really good at a wide range of character roles.
Russel Crowe?
Russell Crowe?
seen Tom Hanks in very different thingies?
isn't he the guy who hits people Thomas?
Russell Crowe or Kevin Spacey or a young Jack Nicholson might be good for Davy
And we'll need someone very kinetic for Rafa
Robert Sean Leonard for Philo
dunno him, but he looks kinda worried
he plays Dr. Wilson on he medical series "House"
Oh, I haven't been big on TV for awhile
it's the only show I watch.
so we have Meryl Streep as Mumzski, Robin WIlliams as karlski, Sean Connery as Thomas, Frances McDormand for Cheryl
Zooey Deschanel as Becky, who plays Squeekz?
this is awesome
and we gotta have Sarah and V as well!!!
brb to play
and Coll and Michelle!!!!
Janeane Garofalo for Squeekz
that could be very good, Thomas
that's a good one except Squeekz is way younger and prettier than Janeane!
Yeah, but the make up department could help with that
To recap: Dieter = Jack Black, Thomas = Younger Sean Connery, MrT = Brian Blessed, Karlski = Robin Williams, Squeekz = Janeane Garofalo
Six Secrets/Cheryl= Frances McDormand, Mumzski=Meryl Streep, Brooke and Nils *might* be Joan and John Cusack
we need someone to play O!
Schuyler is a talented, feeling musician and a beautiful girl.
ack! I'm so bad with names!!!! I can picture the people I want to suggest!
Me: Bruce Willis in 12 monkeys or Diehard 1.
bit crazy but never gives up.
haven't seen those but that sounds good
or Tim Allen in Galaxy Quest
lol...I like that we found a place for Bruce Willis...prefers thatta one
philomath: why dont you draw them if you cant name them?
isn't sure Bruce Willis is clever enough to portray unclesteampunk, however.
Schuyler Fisk as the talent to portray O:
I was kinda thinking that Jody Foster could play O, cuz I expect O's got a complex personality that needs expert portrayal
btw, think Zooey D. would make a good Becky
Jody Foster is great but I think the person should embrace O's musical skills.
and have an adorable mop of dark curly hair.
yeah, agrees with both of you
finding someone for IO is gonna be a challenge!
ermm IMHO no one could actually play O..
O should play O actually!!!
yups the only one that could do it is a guy actually!!
David Bowie has the poetry the music
but he is kinda disqualified!!!
john goodman with a beard.
glad you clarified that.
heyas Mr. T!
thinking the same thing Sally said about O.
O playing O is kind of cheating, though.
if philo would choose Tom Hanks or Robert Sean Leonard for himself? Or somebuddy else? (and don't say George Clooney)
Mr T
OOOH OOOH IS GARY BUSEY TAKEN YET?!?
that's you alright!
HAHAHAHAHA James and Sam = Don Knotts and the guy that played ERKEL
they're not plurkitowners!!!!!
if they were there might be a public harrangue!
Don Knotts is far too nice, make it dracula!
George Clooney
actually... can I get Paul Rudd? I was gonna go with Tom Hanks, but he's getting old and I am not
tom hanks is younger than me!!!
evabuddy is younger than me!
nope Thomas, they're just pretending
yes dieter, but you take better care of your skin
my skin is tough as leather!
one of the Blues Brothers?
the likeness is uncanny. I'm a bit, I don't know, hotter, of course
yup... that one, but with the funny glasses and eyes on
oh wait...you said hotter?
!!!!!!!
okay okay... Tom Hanks then
nopes. Too late. It's Paul Rudd in my head now when I think of you.
I'll not look and leave thissa one to Mumzski actually
it's not that last picture... just sayin. Or no more late night talks for us
or rather
*picks up the bottle and check the dosage*
we also still need a DZ actually! lotsa peole still missing from the cast!
deez needs gravitas and prescence
wait who played obi wan kenobi
oh yeah I know who you mean
Alec Guiness or Ewan Mcgregor?
oh yups, Ewan for sure!!!
i think those sorta trousers are very popular in holland
This plurk needs a content warning- it's killin me
This is too much to read! HOLY BOOK, BATMAN!
I'd have George Clooney play me... apparently I look a wee bit like him.
OK, I know I'm popping back in on this late! But...
Nils should def. be played by Paul Rudd or that dude from Princess Bride
well I was supposed to be Paul Rudd, but I'm sure I could find someone else
Mumz wouldn't approve methinks...she's kinda zeroed in on that sheet image
And he's got the sophisticated, sensitive, somewhat nerdish in a cool way thing going on
not very good with actors/actresses... don't really watch tv/movies
um... ? stumped!

I would have Carrie Mulligan, with glasses
I don't know her work. what's she in?
she was in Doctor Who, and a film called An Education
haven't seen her in film but I saw her in the Dr. Who ep ("Blink")
We can always have the prop people set her up with glasses
eep, I misspelled her name. I's Carey, not Carrie
would be represented by Val Kilmer, but the 'Real Genius' Kilmer, not the whatever douchbag film I've been in lately Kilmer.
love this plurk! i'm trying to think who could play me....
Mumzski and Thomas come back to thissa one as well
received a super secret private eye report revealing that apparently Bruce Willis is the proper choice for Deez, by the way.
k, i think a younger julia roberts could play me
i do have red hair, and i think i'm kinda funny and i'm definitely sarcastic.. so she just fits better than the other red-haired actresses
perfect!
