Friday Five!

thefridayfive:

1. If you were going to remake a movie, what would it be and who would you cast in the roles?

Hatari...ohmigod love that movie, though since the movie is so old I doubt this will mean much to any of you.

Nathan Fillion in the lead because really, why would you ever NOT cast him? Ummm...Nicholas Brendon as Pockets, Daniel Craig as Kurt, Matt Damon as Chips, Natalie Portman as Brandy and Rachel Weiss as Dallas.

2. If you could turn a book into a movie, what would it be and who would you cast in the roles?

Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. Alan Rickman and Anthony Stewart Head as Crowley and Aziraphale...um don't know on the rest, but would love to see those to play opposite each other, especially in these roles.

3. If you were going to turn a video game into a movie, what would it be? Would it be animated or live-action?

Don't really play enough to say...

4. You're going to turn a book into a TV series. What is it? Why would it make a good TV show?

Can I cheat and say a series? Suprisingly not going to say Discworld (I think it's too well suited for book form, all the TV versions I've seen have been lacking) and I think Pern would be too hard special effects-wise for a weekly series to pull off well, but still in Anne McCaffrey's worlds, I think the Crystal Singer series would create a wealth of plot lines...then danger of the profession, the friction of the personalities. All could be good.

5. Do you generally prefer the movie versions or the novel versions of works? Usually whichever comes first. Novels that are later made into movies almost always trump the movies, but books that are based off of movies are almost always disappointing.

Alan Rickman and Anthony Stewart Head as Crowley and Aziraphale...um don't know on the rest, but would love to see those to play opposite each other, especially in these roles.

Those are great picks. Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry could pull it off well too, I think.

Here's my list:

Newt: Noah Taylor
Anathema: Minnie Driver
Ligur: Liev Schrieber
Hastur: Malcolm McDowell
Madame Tracy: Tracy Ullman
Shadwell: James Cromwell
Agnes Nutter: Miranda Richardson
War: Nicole Kidman
Famine: Johnathan Pryce
Pollution: Bob Hoskins

Death? Them? Not sure.

Pulp Fiction with Muppets.

Fozzie Bear would be Jules

Rawlf would be Vincent

The Eagle would be Marcellus Wallace

Janice from the band would Mrs. Wallace

Kermit would be Butch

Ms. Piggy would be Fabian

Fraggles would be the kids in the Apartment

Gonzo would be "The Wolf" (And yes, he'd carry around Camilla the chicken)

Beaker would be "The Gimp"

Dr. Bunsen would "The Spider"

Dr. Teeth Would be "Zed"

Scooter would be Quintin Terrintino's Character

The best lines from the film...

"And you would know my name is the lord when I rain my vengeance upon thee...wacka wacka!"

"Do you see a sign on my front lawn that says 'Dead Muppet Storage?'"

oooooooo Hugh Laurie would be great!

Giles as Chaotic Evil frightens me in a good way. Giles rarely got the time to be evil and scary on Buffy. Ripper is scurrier then Angelus any day of the week.

have you seen waitress yet?

o hai, this is chelsea from the spark party that was held back in the cold, cold month of march.

I did indeed...it was...ok, though full of Fillion-y goodness.

And yes, I remember who you are. You heard about Spark moving, right? I'm so upset...I just moved to Davis in April...so unfair! (Like POrter is so very far away, I know).
