If we were all characters and we needed a movie to inhabit, what movie would we all be in?

I'm pretty happy in the WWII movie, myself.
posted by Miko 31 March | 12:02
Whatever it is, Robert Altman would direct it.
posted by wendell 31 March | 12:03
I fear that I'd end up in some sub-Altman talk-fest about uninteresting people. I hope it has a car chase, at least.
posted by goatdog 31 March | 12:12
A Brat Pack movie, of course. : )

I'd love to be in an Altman movie, but part of me fears we might be more of a Christopher Guest movie...
posted by Miko 31 March | 12:14
yes, wendell got it 1000%.

Actually, Dazed & Confused would probably be the perefect movie to cast this crew in:

Pink...mike9322
Slater...Hugh Janus
Mitch...goatdog
Wooderson..danostuporstar
Donny...jonmc
Benny...mullacc
Cynthia..TrishaLynn
Pickford..Divine Wino
Mel...Joe Famous

and...

Metachat would also make a good Hal Hartley movie.

The Bridge on the River Kwai.

If I had to be in an Altman flick, I'd fire my agent.

Behind every good man there is a woman, and that woman was Martha Washington, man, and everyday George would come home, she would have a big fat bowl waiting for him, man, when he come in the door, man, she was a hip, hip, hip lady, man.

Kinda The Big Chill-ish, only nobody dies. And it would be set in the Metachat Mansion, of course.

Slackers by Linkletter. We'd all be townies sitting around talking in a coffeeshop.

Meatballs. This is such a goofy summercamp.

I got it! Point Blank. I'm Walker. I don't care who anyone else is; I just want my money.

Grosse Point Blank. I'm Martin Blank. Only I don't retire.

*Laughs at cmonkey*

I vote for either Short Cuts or Dazed and Confused

Casablanca.
We'd drink Rick's dry and clear out the casino!

If y'all think this place is anything other than a sex farce, you just aren't paying attention to yourselves.

Hooray! I have a movie part! Top billing, even! *adds D&C to Netflix queue*
posted by mike9322 31 March | 12:50
I like both me3dia's suggestion and interrobang's. Either way, I'm in.

On preview, I also like the king's idea.
posted by richat 31 March | 12:51
Wolfdog, I'm totally right up there with you.
posted by matildaben 31 March | 12:53
miko, I'd hope to end up in a Christopher Guest movie. c'mon, jonmc in Spinal Tap? I think so!
posted by gaspode 31 March | 12:53
Make it a Guy Ritchie film and get Christopher Walken to be our butler. Dennis Hopper can be the mailman.
posted by hyperlith 31 March | 12:55
Yeah, and Tom Cruise can be in it, so we can ball-gag him and take turns fucking him in the basement.
posted by Hugh Janus 31 March | 12:58
Porn. I'm the studly, oiled-up pool boy and you are all my conquests.

Yes. And I'll never be the same.

That's a euphemism I've not heard before

Snakes on a P.....

Porkies?

Right, dodgygeezer, what I meant to say was "fucking him in the basement on the upstairs landing."

If we're in an ensemble movie, like from the 70s, I know I'm the black dude in the big Caddy from Cannonball! (though I wouldn't mind being Bill McKinney's character, so long as it's not Deliverance).

Whatever it is, let's keep Owen Wilson out of it.

As long as I'm played by NPH, I'm in.

I'm pretty sure that's dead exactly what a euphemisn't.
posted by Wolfdog 31 March | 13:35
let's all make it a masque and all come dressed up with our own cameras and a green screen in the back--
