When Mefi: The Motion Picture comes out, I demand to be played by Jack Black.
Stavros will be difficult to cast, because ever since Foghorn Leghorn's retirement theres been a shortage of good poultry actors.

Jack Black is far too rotund to play you, jon. I'd suggest that dude from The Pianist. You're nearly twins. posted by mr_crash_davis at 12:55 PM on August 7, 2003
I want to be portrayed by Danny DeVito wearing a Hawaiian shirt and a Korean Hahoe mask.
Yes, Foghorn would be perfect for stav, but only if we get him all liquored up first. posted by MrBaliHai at 12:59 PM on August 7, 2003
jonmc looks like Adrien Brody?

I miss the good 'ol days. You know, when a movie was based on a script someone wrote about an ides they had -- not a book they read, or a website they've been to / maintained. posted by Dark Messiah at 1:27 PM on August 7, 2003
Raul Julia, absolutely.
I'm going for it and calling Angelina Jolie for the part of widdershins, though I may have to cheat on my posting history to get her to believe she'd have a starring role. posted by widdershins at 1:36 PM on August 7, 2003
The important part of Mefi: The Movie is having The Announcer Guy do the trailer. That, and getting Christopher Walken to play 111.
My scenes will probably end up being cut, but I need a New Englander to play me. Like Judd Nelson or Eliza Dushku. posted by Mayor Curley at 1:40 PM on August 7, 2003
someone wrote about an ides they had
In a way all ideas are something lived, or where else does life's inspiration come from? An invention is inspired from past experiences. Never heard an idea spring into one's mind out of the blue and them knowing how to use it right then. posted by thomcatspike at 2:02 PM on August 7, 2003
I would like to be portrayed by Kate Beckinsale, so I can spend the entire movie groping and satisfying myself. posted by Stan Chin at 3:51 PM on August 7, 2003
I would be played by an adorable talking dog. posted by Hildago at 4:10 PM on August 7, 2003
talking dog, your lucky, all i get is this rediculous talking sock dog! posted by NGnerd at 8:14 PM on August 7, 2003
At a long-ago job, we cast "Our Office, the Movie"; my boss at the time was Bill Murray, the other supervisors Lily Tomlin and Nell Carter, the manager Patrick Macnee (it was a fun place to work). Consensus was split for me between Chris Farley and John Candy (when they were both alive). For the MetaFilter Movie, I've lost enough weight and Dan Ayckroyd has gained enough to be a fair Wendell, but I could always invoke the "Whoopi Clause", requiring that every movie have at least a small role for Whoopi Goldberg, she can play me... If it's a normal Hollywood production, it wouldn't be the worst casting.
Speaking of which, Michael Douglas is way... too... old... for Matt. You know that "Hollywood" would either cast David Schwimmer or Dustin Diamond, depending on budget. Which is one reason for Matt not to make a movie deal. Of course, he should wait anyway for Schwartzanegger to be available to play Miguel... posted by wendell at 11:52 PM on August 7, 2003
