You're director: which one would you cast and who would you lose?

Edit: you all are getting rusty. :( It's okay, I'm getting old, too.

I'm gonna cast Forest Whitaker and make Ghost Dog 2.

ivanafterall@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 11d (2 replies)

I actually never saw Ghost Dog. I know, I know, it's a huge loss on my part. I need to check it out.

Sergio@piefed.social · 2 pts · 11d

Ghost Dog is my favorite movie of all time.

The book he quotes throughout the movie, Hagakure, is also great.

Wish granted, but you now must also make Battlefield Earth 2 with your whole chest.

Definitely fuck Will Smith. I don’t know who any of the others are.

I'm at a loss that you don't know who Denzel Washington or Samuel J. Jackson are!?

Zeppo@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 11d

I know who Samuel L Jackson is, but I wasn't sure if I recognized him. I know who Denzel Washington is more vaguely but wouldn't be able to recognize him in general.

This isn't fuck, marry, kill.

Zeppo@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 11d

It's cast, lose lose lose?

ivanafterall@lemmy.world · -2 pts · 11d

More like fuck, marry, miscarry.

Seriously? These actors have done a lot of films. Multiple academy awards between them.

Zeppo@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 11d

I don't watch movies. Just not really an interest of mine.

Pudutr0n@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 11d

Forest Whitaker for every character. I don't care if the movie is Barbie 2. This is non-negotiable.

Cast for what? They have different skill sets

ivanafterall@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 11d

Agreed. Each is great in different ways, but I could get lost in all of their eyes.

Idk, I can see none of them as sailor senshi. I also don't see how to use them in my epic ThirteenthDoctor/RoseTyler piece, seeing as the main characters have been cast already and everybody else is non-human-like (animated) aliens.

Unless they're willing to do bit part voice work, in which case I'm sure I can accommodate them all.

I'd cast slapboi only into a garbage bin, where he belongs to.

Master@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 11d

We are doing a live action pokemon reboot with Denzel Washington as Ash.

"You are director"?

I would choose Forest Whitaker as my assistant. He'll be a good ethics guy.

The others have all had their moments where ethics were entirely forgotten.

I'd take the eyepatch off the first guy and put it on the last guy

What even caused Nick Fury's loss of vision? Wasn't he attacked by an alien or something?

ryannathans@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 11d (2 replies)

A cat scratched his eye lol, yes the cat is an alien

db2@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 11d

That's not a cat, it's a Flerken.

ivanafterall@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 11d

Nice, it's been so long since I've seen the movies or read the comics that I've lost all memory of the story details.

Horrific.
