Holly Hunter was born in Conyers, GA, according to the huge list of Personalities I'm currently editing.

I decided. I would like to be James Spader, plz.

kenan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:31 (nineteen years ago)

I couldn't be happier with Ruffalo, btw.

jaymc, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:32 (nineteen years ago)

i don't know much of anything about classic tv either. i had to look up terri alden, who is "less ditzy than her predecessors".

JuliaA, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:32 (nineteen years ago)

I'm glad, John! there is, dare I say, a vibe!

Carmine "The Big Ragu" Ragusa (Eddie Mekka) Shirley's on and off again boyfriend, and high school sweetheart. Carmine's occasional lady companion was wealthy divorcee Lucille Lockwash, which made Shirley jealous. "The Big Ragu" is a part-time boxer who owns a dance studio and dreams of making it big as a dancer/singer. In the final episode of the series, he auditions for the Broadway musical Hair and wins a major role.

kenan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:33 (nineteen years ago)

Kenan, you can be Spader, but I'm not sure I see it--is there a particular role you're thinking of?

horseshoe, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:33 (nineteen years ago)

it's the secretary, isn't it kenan.

kenan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:34 (nineteen years ago)

spader is always just a little unctuous

kenan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:35 (nineteen years ago)

for Nick=Jason Schwarzmann or Benicio del Toro or Paul Rudd????

horseshoe, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:41 (nineteen years ago)

or someone else???? Sarah, help!

horseshoe, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:41 (nineteen years ago)

I am officially stressed out by this undertaking.

horseshoe, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:41 (nineteen years ago)

Not to interrupt, but which is preferable: "the first female president" or "the first woman president"? Is it just me, or does the latter sound outdated?

jaymc, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:43 (nineteen years ago)

I like "woman president" better. female just sounds clinical to me.

horseshoe, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:44 (nineteen years ago)

are those the only two options?

kenan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:44 (nineteen years ago)

Just pick a short Jewish actor for me who is not Danny Devito or Jason Alexander, or otherwise fat & bald pls. Otherwise I get Goldblum.

Jordan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:45 (nineteen years ago)

my friend brett is on tastebudchicago.com today.

chicago kevin, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:46 (nineteen years ago)

ew, Goldblum. nobody deserves Goldblum.

horseshoe, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:46 (nineteen years ago)

What? Goldblum is awesome!

are those the only two options?

What do you suggest? "Dos-equis"?

jaymc, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:47 (nineteen years ago)

goldblum has buggy eyes.

JuliaA, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:48 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, i don't know. i guess those are the only two options.

i choose woman as well.

kenan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:48 (nineteen years ago)

I am just instinctively grossed out by Goldblum. have you ever seen David Duchovny playing him on SNL's Celebrity Jeopardy? that's how I feel about Goldblum.

horseshoe, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:48 (nineteen years ago)

oh shit! i want norm macdonald to play me!

chicago kevin, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:49 (nineteen years ago)

YES, KEVIN, THAT TOTALLY WORKS!!!! I KISS YOU FOR SAVING MY PROJECT!!!

horseshoe, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:49 (nineteen years ago)

Benecio Del Torro seems too... sweaty to be Nick. He's also got kind of a shady vibe whereas I think Nick is all sweetness and light.

I cannot imagine Nick mumbling, "Give me the fucking keys you fucking cocksucker what the fuck?" for example.

Jenny, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:49 (nineteen years ago)

do not do a GIS on jeff goldblum, there's a nearly-nekkid pic of him which was an unfortunate sight.

JuliaA, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:50 (nineteen years ago)

you could be really obnoxious and say "lady president".

when my dad talks about female coworkers, he refers to them as "lady bankers", which seems both quaint and incredibly annoying.

JuliaA, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:51 (nineteen years ago)

ew, Jeff Goldblum needs to never take his clothes off.

I maybe have a more positive view of Benicio than normal people, so I will strike him from Nick-consideration.

horseshoe, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:52 (nineteen years ago)

i don't see what's wrong with "female president", myself, but i'm outnumbered. you wouldn't say "man president", you'd say "male president" (not that the distinction needs to be made).

or you'll say "male stripper", rather than "MAN stripper". (though really i just like the term "hot cops".

JuliaA, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:53 (nineteen years ago)

if Nick=sweetness and light, then he should be Paul Rudd.

horseshoe, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:54 (nineteen years ago)

i am assuming the nekkid photo is from The Fly, which is an excellent movie and Goldblum is excellent in it and really funny and I like Goldblum just fine you're all wrong there I said it.

kenan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:54 (nineteen years ago)

and julia makes an excellent point -- clinical might be the way to go. "Woman president" sounds nice, but almost too familiar.

kenan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:55 (nineteen years ago)

I guess I would take Stiller, but I'm not "wacky".

Paul Rudd for Nick works.

Jordan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 21:59 (nineteen years ago)

But Michael Ian Black would be better

Jordan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 22:00 (nineteen years ago)

okay, I've never met Jordan or Julia, so maybe I should cede responsibility for some of the casting to other people. also, now that Kevin cast himself so brilliantly, maybe I should just let everyone cast his or herself and stop being so fucking fascist?

xpost okay, Michael Ian Black=Nick

horseshoe, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 22:00 (nineteen years ago)

i just needed someone with a drink and cigarette always at the ready.

chicago kevin, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 22:01 (nineteen years ago)

so i guess '70s era liza minelli would've worked too.

chicago kevin, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 22:02 (nineteen years ago)

you wouldn't say "man president", you'd say "male president" (not that the distinction needs to be made)

See, this is a good point, and I think this is why I was inclined to use "female." For parity, yo.

This isn't about Hillary, btw.

jaymc, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 22:02 (nineteen years ago)

i'll go with kenan's flattering suggestion that i be her:

http://davidlynch.de/harringnyle.jpg

she looks all sexy and also annoyed with the world! (i am definitely the latter.) she needs an eastern european nose and black glasses though.

JuliaA, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 22:05 (nineteen years ago)

she is very beautiful. I have shamefully never seen Mulholland Drive.

horseshoe, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 22:06 (nineteen years ago)

mmm.

kenan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 22:06 (nineteen years ago)

hahaha that pic somehow only loaded so i could see the bottom third of the picture. that would take way too much double-sided tape, fuck that.

JuliaA, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 22:08 (nineteen years ago)

Goodness. Yeah, I think I picked a goddamn bombshell for a reason.

Hi, honey.

kenan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 22:09 (nineteen years ago)

don't look now, but you're being objectified.

kenan, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 22:10 (nineteen years ago)

i kinda noticed that.

JuliaA, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 22:23 (nineteen years ago)

I think I am okay with William Hurt.

dan m, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 22:39 (nineteen years ago)

I'm transcribing a conference call from the UK, and I just learned a few phrase. Guy says "there is now less distance between the boardroom and the coalface." Took me a few listens to get it right, but apparently the definition is "If you work at the coalface, you deal with the real problems and issues, rather than sitting in a office discussing things in a detached way."

Eazy, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 23:00 (nineteen years ago)

damn this thread, I need to hear ZZ Top now and can't find my Tres Hombres CD

milo z, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 23:01 (nineteen years ago)

ok, i've misspelled "critical" EVERY FUCKING TIME in this 8 page document. i didn't spell it correctly once out of the 20 or so times i used it.

WINNER!!!
