I want to be played by a dog

My life isn't very interesting, but it'd really spice things up if they had a dog try to do it.

What's the story, Wishbone?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There's no rule that says a dog can't play ~~basketball~~ a person!

:P

The Air Bud cinematic universe is a lawless hellscape

You spent the first few years of your life, catching tail and sniffing butt, winning through life on loveable personality alone, and becoming a loyal and devoted partner, spending your sunset years curled up on a nice seat, watching the kids do their thing and getting occasional head pats from strangers for a life well lived and job well done.

Aubrey Plaza. She’s way hotter than me (that’s kinda the point), and not half Japanese (will make the racist parts confusing and/or hilarious) but she could definitely pull off my resting bitch face and general disdain for everything.

Ed Sheeran. Specifically because he's not an actor and would stumble through the movie just like I stumbled through life. All ginger, no plan.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

All Ginger No Plan - that's an amazing life motto. ;)

Danny Devito.

...I'm a woman.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

I refer to him as Daddy DeVito

... I'm a dude.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm pretty tall, so the logical choice would be Tom Cruise on 12 inch heels.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

Three Tom Cruises in a trenchcoat

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 week ago

Brad Pitt.

Bit of a downgrade but I can live with it.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Gary Oldman, dude's a chameleon. I'm sure he could find a way to play a mid 30s SE Asian dude

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

On the other hand, if you had Will Ferrel play you, but he and everyone is completely unaware that he is SE asian.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

I'd take him as a second choice if I couldn't get Gary. To muddy the waters a bit I'd try to get Ken Watanabe and Shohreh Aghdashloo to play my parents.

I want my movie to be cast entirely with Muppets and Tim Walz.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Shit. I didn't think this through well enough. Can I change my answer to yours?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Best answer

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Christopher Walken, Jeff Goldblum, Willem Dafoe, and Gary Oldman. All of them.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Everywhere, all at once.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

So sorta like the imaginarium of Dr. parnissius? ( its called something along those lines lol)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

David Cross and Bob Odenkirk, with a made-up face surgery scene mid-film to explain the change.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They're both male so I'm assuming you were very ugly and bald at some point but now not quite as ugly and your hairline is ...un-receding?

Jk

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I'm actually a beautiful woman. They will both have to agree to substantial surgeries before they agree to play me.

Nice try FBI

Zac Efron.

The girl I was crushing on in high school crushed on him really hard as he appeared in High School Musical. I spent wayyyy too much of my youth trying to emulate Zac Efron as a result. Eventually, that whole style just kinda became my whole style. Seems like a good fit.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Nicolas Cage

Looks nothing like, but it would be funny as hell and in order to get him to sign up, they would have to make it somehow trippy and surreal.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (3 children)

John Malkovich, I don't know why. I just like him. And I think he would be kind in my portrayal.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

In Soviet Russia, John Malkovich being you.

Karl Pilkington. he would do a great job of complaining about every minor inconvenience I've dealt with

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Lady Gaga

I bear no resemblance. I can't sing. I just think she's neat.

Adrien Brody.

I'm told, quite often, I look like him. Plus he's a method actor or whatever do we would get to hang out which might be cool. He seems nice.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’ve been told more than once that I look like β€œthat creepy Scarecrow guy from Batman Begins.” So I guess Cillian Murphy. I didn’t like looking creepy tho.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They meant hot, but didn't dare say it.

I look like a middle-aged Richard Gere, with hair loss. All action on the sides, and nothing on top.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

People say I look like Carrie Ann Moss (Trinity) but as a child I had more Lucy Lawless resemblances. So I don't know, but either case they'll have to get a tan cause I'm more of a Penelope Cruz skin tone.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

For the 5% of my adult life that I’ve had short hair and no beard: Quentin Tarantino. For the rest of my bearded, long-haired adulthood: Steve Burke from Gamers Nexus. But they need to have blue/green eyes and forehead wrinkles.
(Huh. On paper that just sounds like I look like Nick Offerman, but not really.)

Rowan Atkinson.

Was hoping to see Margot Robbie in here requesting Margot Robbie play her

No question at all, definitely Tim Robbins, although he is older than me, we are fan casting.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Jason Mamoa. I look like if he took a break from the gym for a year. He and I also share several hobbies.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

John Cusack (high fidelity)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

John Cusack (Gross Pointe Blank)

Melissa McCarthy, she has a good sense of humor which is great because my life is kind of a joke.
