- Happy Birthday Stacy!! -- nm - Redmond LIE!!! Sep 9, 21:44
- you say it's your birthday? Happy birthday! -- nm - 'lia Sep 9, 21:38 1
  - *guitar riff* -- nm - loosilu Sep 9, 21:40
Additional casting request: 40-45 male. Sexy in a laconic way rather than via overt charm. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 9, 21:25 43
- Viggo -- nm - 'lia Sep 9, 21:42
- Matthew Perry -- nm - Fuzzy Sep 9, 21:41 1
  - He wishes. -- nm - Spawn Sep 9, 21:41
- Robert Downey Jr., Paul Rudd, Eric Bana, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, John Cusack, Josh Brolin, Mark Ruffalo, Naveen Andrews, Jason Patric. James Purefoy - Max Sep 9, 21:36 9
  - Uh, no. Are you even trying? -- nm - Spawn Sep 9, 21:37 5
    - my guydar is less tuned. -- nm - Max Sep 9, 21:39 4
      - I mean, some of us are really trying and then you show up and spout out the first name to pop into your head. -- nm - Spawn Sep 9, 21:41 3
        
        I thought RDJr was a good answer. -- nm - Fuzzy Sep 9, 21:43 1
        
        spoil - Spawn Sep 9, 21:43
        
        I picked those names out of 200 candidates! really, this casting requires more parameters. -- nm - Max Sep 9, 21:43
  - good lord, you have a database for men too? -- nm - farmer ted Sep 9, 21:37 2
    - for just this type of question. what's so weird about that? -- nm - Max Sep 9, 21:42 1
      - Max = The Teacher? -- nm - Spawn Sep 9, 21:42
- Daniel Craig -- nm - Fuzzy Sep 9, 21:36
- Clooney, Depp, and Pitt all reportedly want the role. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 9, 21:35 2
  - All of those are good, but not perfect, but I'm also assuming that the actual casting will only approximate the character anyway. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 9, 21:44
  - Well, that means Meagan Fox can play the girl afterall. -- nm - Spawn Sep 9, 21:36
- like a younger Costner? -- nm - Max Sep 9, 21:30
- Colin Farrell is a bit young but is that what you're looking for? Hugh Jackman maybe? -- nm - Fuzzy Sep 9, 21:29 8
  - Colin Farrell is way too obviously horn dog and Hugh Jackman is too gregarious. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 9, 21:32
  - Colin Farrell is too charming/overtly sexual - Firth maybe a better fit - Epiphany Sep 9, 21:31 5
    - Firth isn't bad. Though Firth seems more like a stable boyfriend character whereas this guy is a bit more casual about the whole thing. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 9, 21:33 4
      - casual-aloof-noncommital-little black book? or casual-relaxed-tim robbins-monogamous? -- nm - Max Sep 9, 21:46
      - Heath ledger could have done this - I see Val Kilmer as this guy - like in that movie with Elizabeth Shue and the cold fusion -- nm - Epiphany Sep 9, 21:34 1
        
        Ledger would have been perfect. -- nm - loosilu Sep 9, 21:42
      - Hugh Grant! -- nm - farmer ted Sep 9, 21:34
  - Colin Firth! -- nm - farmer ted Sep 9, 21:30
- Ron Livingston! -- nm - farmer ted Sep 9, 21:29 1

- Is Ewan McGregor too young? think bookish glasses on him -- nm - Epiphany Sep 9, 21:27 3
  - Ewan is just a bit too charming, but he's in the running. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 9, 21:29 1
    - he's all charm. not that I'm complaining. -- nm - loosilu Sep 9, 21:43
  - Aaron Eckhart? -- nm - Epiphany Sep 9, 21:27
- Michael Vartan? -- nm - David Sep 9, 21:27 1
  - Possibly. The character has a little bit of that Jimmy McNulty casual horndog thing to him. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 9, 21:30
- me -- nm - Spawn Sep 9, 21:27 3
  - Your boobs are too big -- nm - BB Sep 9, 21:31 2
    - I see what you did there. - Spawn Sep 9, 21:32
    - L3, golf clap -- nm - TFox Sep 9, 21:31

  - grab the ice pick under the bed. -- nm - Max Sep 9, 21:29
Damn you, wiggie. - Spawn Sep 9, 21:24

- Have they called him a "brave American" yet? - BB Sep 9, 21:29
who the hell would want to kiss nadal? -- nm - farmer ted Sep 9, 21:24 2
- My wife, for one. -- nm - David Sep 9, 21:24 1
  - well, yeah -- nm - farmer ted Sep 9, 21:29
That was...a good speech -- nm - znufrii Sep 9, 21:13 2
- nobody denies his ability to deliver great rhetoric -- nm - farmer ted Sep 9, 21:14
- You Lie! -- nm - Redmond LIE!!! Sep 9, 21:14
hmm, apparently the media has been annoying since 1968 ... as evidenced by this near-spoof on Hawaii Five-O -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 21:12
Obama's Email: Not the first, but the last - BB Sep 9, 21:11 1

      - the fact that they are going with that angle is fantastic - Epiphany Sep 9, 21:33
    - I really am amazed at ST's love for this. -- nm - Spawn Sep 9, 21:16 13
      - I thought the pilot was excellent. -- nm - Remlik Sep 9, 21:19
      - I was incredulous then; I am avoidant now. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 21:18
      - WERE ALL GAY -- nm - JaxSean Sep 9, 21:17 10
        
        I love every single minute of it. it has everything. I did notice they were not really singing - Epiphany Sep 9, 21:19 9
        
        ~ WERE ALL GAYYYYYY!!! ~ - JaxSean Singing Sep 9, 21:23
        
        it took me right out of it, maybe it was the mixing, it just sounded different. -- nm - Remlik Sep 9, 21:20 7
        
        what makes it for me - puts the cherry on top is how adult this show really is - set in highschool but racy - Epiphany Sep 9, 21:29 1
        
        That exactly was going to be the line I brought up to respond. - Cuzzin Todd Sep 9, 21:44
        
        It may be that it's hard to believe the big black voice coming from the nerdy white kid in the wheelchair. -- nm - Fuzzy Sep 9, 21:23
        
        Yeah, the production values seemed to have fallen. It went from C- to D-. -- nm - Spawn Sep 9, 21:22
        
        Man, you hear one remastered Beatles album, and suddenly everyone's a mixing critic. - TFox Sep 9, 21:20 2

2 hours of wipeout!! - Redmond LIE!!! Sep 9, 21:02
Internal decapitation = not always fatal. - David Sep 9, 21:00 8

- I just read the other day about when it happened to this guy (best link I could find) -- (link) - dogbert183 Sep 9, 21:06
- That'd make a great Rock Band band name. -- nm - Buzz Sep 9, 21:06

- What book is it? - Fuzzy Sep 9, 21:22 14
  - The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Ricci is kind of the idea, but somehow not quite right. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 9, 21:27 10
    - They already made the movie. -- nm - Dano Sep 9, 21:42 1
      - lemmee guess - farmer ted Sep 9, 21:44
    - This is Sweden's answer to your question. -- (link) - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 9, 21:39 1
      - That's completely right, but I'm just assuming that any American version she'll need to be a less butch than that. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 9, 21:42
    - ooooh, are the 2nd and 3rd books out yet in english? - 'lia Sep 9, 21:31 3
      - Second book is out in English (at least in Australia). Third one is due in October here. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 9, 21:33 2
        
        that seems about right - 'lia Sep 9, 21:37 1
        
        Too bad there is not a big building filled with books that you can borrow. -- nm - Spawn Sep 9, 21:42

    - ha! -- nm - Epiphany Sep 9, 21:15
    - You say that like it's a bad thing. -- nm - BB Sep 9, 21:15 3
      - I like boobies as much as the next person. It's just not appropriate for this character. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 9, 21:16 2

    - If you expand your age range, Lizzy Caplan could fit. -- nm - Max Sep 9, 21:15
    - Eve Mauro does a really good seductress-Angelina, but she's 27 and not nerdy enough. -- nm - Max Sep 9, 21:14 2
      - just email her your appropriately-sorted Excel spreadsheet and be done with it, man -- nm - farmer ted Sep 9, 21:16 1

- Ellen Page -- nm - peglegpete's silver hammer Sep 9, 21:05
- Evan Rachel Wood probably gets that call. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 9, 21:04 5
  - Also one I considered and a reasonably good choice. Agree on Keira K., but now she's too much of a pretty girl. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 9, 21:07 4
    - sure, respond to the dude who posted it second - farmer ted Sep 9, 21:09 2

- mila kunis? evan rachel wood?? -- nm - farmer ted Sep 9, 21:04

    - Christina Ricci -- nm - Fuzzy Sep 9, 21:09

    - Just the men of the world -- nm - Redmond LIE!!! Sep 9, 21:10
    - Contradicktory. -- nm - Spawn Sep 9, 21:08
  - The "credible" part also requires a modicum of acting ability. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 9, 21:01 2
    - jolene blalock? -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 9, 21:03 1
