Oh come on, people, think something up!

posted by mudpuppie 06 March | 18:08

cheat sheet. ;)

posted by dabitch 06 March | 18:22

Philip Seymour Hoffman is wendell!

Okay, now you do one.

posted by box 06 March | 18:23

Thanks for the cheat sheet, dabitch.

Crush-onastick would quite obviously be played by Salvador Dali.

'Cept he dead.

posted by mudpuppie 06 March | 18:27

Well, obviously rainbaby would be played by Rosanna Arquette. Hee.

posted by gaspode 06 March | 18:33

Mmkay, using the cheatsheet, more:

Kevin Spacey as pieisexactlythree, Paul Giamatti as both LT and BoPo, that 70s porn guy as Eamondaly, Max Headroom as TheDonF, Andrew Zimmern and kd lang as Terrapin and Chrismear....

And that's where I quit.

Good ones mudpuppie! I only made one, but seeeeee? Funny.

I know I'm new here but I think Julian Barratt is the best choice to play me.

posted by jtron 06 March | 19:12

Julian Barratt (he's howard from the Boosh?) is GENIUS. I hate to admit it, but I fear only Seth Rogen, or possible Penn Jilette can play me. I give you:

richat, definitely Penn Jillette.

posted by mudpuppie 06 March | 19:31

Oh wait, that is Penn Jillette. Sorry.

posted by mudpuppie 06 March | 19:32

hee hee. Sorry, I was unclear. I don't quite look like either, rather something in between, depending on how good Seth is looking, and how long my hair is!

posted by richat 06 March | 19:47

Yeah, and I was thinking (but didn't say, thank god) "Wow, Richat really doesn't look like he used to!"

Whew!

posted by mudpuppie 06 March | 19:58

Here's a pretty straight-on, not too doctored idea of what I actually look like, for what it's worth. I guess it's no good saying that I'd be played by someone without revealing what I do look like. Not like it's a big secret or anything.

Now, after all that, I feel like posting a picture of the revered Clooney!

Working on some more...how about:

1) Hugh Jackman as me3dia?

2) Catherine Keener as Specklet?

3) A young Tom Waits as Lipstick Thespian?

posted by richat 06 March | 20:47

Lamentably, I seem to be playing by myself over here.

posted by richat 06 March | 20:47

If it's any consolation, I'm enjoying it very much.

posted by box 06 March | 20:48

(And here's that Paparazzi Photo Friday from a while back.)

posted by box 06 March | 20:55

Okay, how about a couple more, so long as the ideas hold out...

1) Andy Garcia as Stynxno?

posted by richat 06 March | 21:02

Sadly, I think I've run out of ideas. I've been staring at pictures of some my favourite mechazens, but dammit, nothing is coming to mind!

posted by richat 06 March | 21:03

One that I meant to post. I hope BoringPostcards isn't upset, but...I think he could be played by:

≡ Click to see image ≡

The snowman narrator from Rudolph, voiced by Burl Ives. I imagine BoPo as a very kind and COOL cat, and well, both of them have beards.

posted by richat 06 March | 21:07

Yeah, I can relate. While it's always a pleasure to look at photos of Mecha folks, I don't think I'm very good at the celebrity-lookalike part.

(Also, here's something that keeps happening. I think to myself, 'Oh, soandso totally looks like Wilford Brimley!' Then I find the pictures, and I say 'Wait a minute, that's Wilford Brimley? Then who the hell am I thinking about?' I might need to watch more movies.)

posted by box 06 March | 21:08

*Giggling until she cries* Seth Rogen is the only one who cold do you right Richat, Penn is our plan B at the mo. ;) Dontchathink?

I was all ready to find a photo of taz and get it hooked up with Eartha kitt for but failed in finding Taz likenessat all. I sux.

posted by dabitch 06 March | 21:14

Or is it Wilfred?

I don't think I've ever actually seen a picture of jrossi4r, but I seem to recall her saying that people tell her she looks like Helen Hunt. Here's a picture of Helen Hunt and Leelee Sobieski:

I just searched and searched for a photo of Rosanna Arquette (whom I consider totally beautiful) with glasses on, because I was aiming for a Rosanna/rainbaby thing, and I thought it wasn't far off. Turns out there aren't ANY pictures of RA in glasses. But, there are lots of her boobs.

Oh, and for some reason I kinda thought of Shaggy from Scooby Doo for Cortex...man, don't do a google image search for "Shaggy Scooby Doo" unless you've got "Safe Search" on. Somethings you just can't UNsee.

posted by richat 06 March | 21:16

Yeah, thank goodness Seth came along...I was getting tired of some of the suggestions I got from people about who I resemble! Actually, the first time I really noticed Seth was in 40 Year Old Virgin, because someone at work told me I had to see if for Seth's character. They said he and I had the same sense of humour!

Also....dabitch, you remind me of someone, but dammit, I CANNOT put my finger on who it is!

posted by richat 06 March | 21:18

jrossi looks like Helen Hunt? That explains my crush....

I'm also holding back. I can compare some of my favorite people here to celebs (or cartoons), but I'm afraid they'd be offended. So I'm making a mental list, not a public one. Mostly. For a while.

posted by mudpuppie 06 March | 21:20

Oh, and box, to me, is sort of Iron & Wine-ish. But tidier.

posted by mudpuppie 06 March | 21:21

See? Iron and Wine would make a decent BoringPostcards too. But I had to suggest the damned snowman. Damn.

posted by richat 06 March | 21:31

jrossi looks like Helen Hunt? That explains my crush....

Aw man...I regret to inform you that it's actually Bonnie Hunt I've been told I resemble. But I think that's because we have similar mannerisms. And blond hair.

I can't for the life of me think of any celebrities any of you resemble. I think it's because I've made up my own faces to go with the names.

posted by jrossi4r 06 March | 21:35

(I'm also a little worried about inadvertently offending someone. We should make a pact or something. Everybody likes pacts.)

Helen Hunt? Bonnie Hunt? That kind of confusion has infested the part of my brain that holds the celebrity pictures. Here's a picture of Bonnie Hunt.

posted by box 06 March | 21:40

Bonnie Hunt is the only woman I know that can pull off the name Bonnie so perfectly well. Doesn't she?

posted by dabitch 06 March | 21:51

I had a landlord who insisted I looked like Jennifer Tilly. Told me so every month when I dropped rent off at the management office.

I think mudpuppie's more accurate with the Salvador Dali thing!

posted by crush-onastick 06 March | 21:59

I *LOVE* Bonnie Hunt! Crush stands.

And speaking of Crush, Crush, you could totally be a Jennifer Tilly. But smarter.

cortex and David Foster Wallace:

No, Jesus is suppose to play cortex and Saint Theresa for jessamyn.

Oh, look, it's rainbaby

By the way, I must say that I thought of Specklet=Catherine Keener without having read that previous thread, so there.

Oh, and apparently I've cleansed my memory of Skippy.

on preview? HELLOOOO rainbaby.

posted by richat 06 March | 22:59

i'm not sure who these people are but i've seen them here somewhere.

posted by ethylene 06 March | 23:02

The young Jane Alexander would play iconomy, in my mind. Not the present one.

posted by danf 06 March | 23:17

Here's our old group photo.
As you can tell, we have dedication to Sparklemotion.

posted by ethylene 06 March | 23:21

This one is just scary.

posted by ethylene 06 March | 23:24

eth, which one is you?

posted by danf 06 March | 23:28

This one. i took that picture.

posted by ethylene 06 March | 23:35

I picture eth as Bjork. But with the umlaut.

I also worry that I will offend people. Unless I am comparing them to Bjork. Because Bjork is awesome.

posted by occhiblu 07 March | 00:56

The pic from here stopped showing up.

posted by ethylene 07 March | 01:13

obv, Zach Quinto would play mathowie.

I'd like to think hadjiboy and I could play each other, just to confuse the pants off people.

posted by heeeraldo 07 March | 02:32

You'd have to find a pic of me (there IS one on my mefi profile) only to find out that NOBODY looks like me. Nobody famous, that is. I look like everyone's ex-girlfriend's best friend.
