Is this harder? Cast the younger generation versions of mid 80s Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Steve Martin, Tom Hanks -- nm - Max Dec 2, 11:16 36
- Paul Rudd should have been the next Tom Hanks. nm - Dignan Dec 2, 11:29 4
  - He still could -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:30 2
    - Especially since all indications are he is a mutant who is impervious to aging. -- nm - TFox Dec 2, 11:32 1
      - seriously what is up with that? -- nm - Epiphany Dec 2, 11:35
  - And if Adam Brody plays his cards right.... nm - Dignan Dec 2, 11:30
- [deleted] 3
  - I wanted to say Jim Carrey for Hanks, but figured they were in the same generation. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Dec 2, 11:22
  - I was thinking "What about Robin Williams?" (my personal favorite comedy actor probably ever) -- nm - con_carne Dec 2, 11:22
  - that's what she said. -- nm - Producers of The Yes Man Dec 2, 11:22
- Sandler, Zach Braff, Andy Sandberg, Shia LeBouff. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Dec 2, 11:20 18
  - I'd replace Sandberg with Steve Carrell from below. -- nm - Inigo Dec 2, 11:22 4
    - There's no bigger Carrell fan than I, but I don't think he has Martin's goofiness like Sandberg does. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Dec 2, 11:26 3
      - But I'm thinking early Steve Martin... more The Jerk than Parenthood/Father of the Bride/Pink Panther. - Dr.Vermin Dec 2, 11:31 1
        
        Man, that was an awesome movie. And I see your point. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:32
      - CHAIR HOLDING! -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:26
  - close. I dispute Shia, but the rest are very close. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:21 12
    - erm, let me rephrase that: I dispute Shia on the basis of talent; career-wise, it's a good pick -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:21 11
      - Shia is the new Harrison Ford. -- nm - Butcher Pete Dec 2, 11:22 10
        
        I think he's closer to Tom Crusie. -- nm - Max Dec 2, 11:24 3
        
        Nah, Cruise was all about his looks. -- nm - mara Dec 2, 11:26 1
        
        ........ wait, is this supposed to be an opposing point of view? I don't get it. ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:28
        
        Word. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:26
        
        Shia has nothing on Ford. Not even career-wise, IMO. No parallels at all. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:23 5
        
        he's playing the same type of characters. The average man who gets the snot kicked out of him. -- nm - Butcher Pete Dec 2, 11:28 1
        
        I view Shia as Russell Crowe Jr, that's all -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:31
        
        I think his career path could be in that if he ever becomes the biggest movie star on the planet, it would sneak up on everyone. - Inigo Dec 2, 11:26 2
        
        exactly. He keeps getting cast in movies that people want to see. -- nm - Butcher Pete Dec 2, 11:29
        
        Fair point. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:27
- I just don't see it in the younger generation -- nm - budice Dec 2, 11:20
- I really wish Ryan Gosling had more comedy cuz I think he's a worthy Tom hanks down the road. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 2, 11:20
- Seth Green, Seann William Scott, ???, James Marsden -- nm - El Fandie Dec 2, 11:18 2
  - ... I would not watch that movie. - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:19 1
    - ... unless "???" = The Rock. :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:20
- Steve Martin = Steve Carrell. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:18 2
  - yes. -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 11:19
  - nice. -- nm - El Fandie Dec 2, 11:18

- I saw Anchorman after I saw Talladega Nights, and for a while I thought Talladega was funnier. Now I'm not so sure. - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:11
Do we really need a new Bill Murray? -- nm - Amy Dec 2, 11:08 23
- I mean, I don't want a "new" anybody. -- nm - Amy Dec 2, 11:20 2
  - I just want movies to stop being giant suckfests. More Dark Knights, more Iron Mans, MOAR TROPIC THUNDER. - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:25 1
    - Hear hear. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Dec 2, 11:27

        stop it -- nm - Epiphany Dec 2, 11:22 1
        
        Hey, I like Ryan Reynolds. I'd totally watch a Hannibal King movie. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:24
- Train of thought just led me to think of who would be the younger generation of him for similar projects. -- nm - Max Dec 2, 11:11
- This is true. What we *really* need is a spiritual successor team to Steve McQueen and Yul Brynner. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:10 5
  - Steve McQueen = Matt Damon? nm - Dignan Dec 2, 11:12 4
    - Does Matt think he is cool? I mean, he did the whole, "I'm fucking Matt Damon" thing, but I still don't see it. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 2, 11:14 2
      - Matt *is* cool. nm - Dignan Dec 2, 11:15

  - word. -- nm - Butcher Pete Dec 2, 11:13
- Time to cut some heads. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Dec 2, 11:08
Yeah, spanglish was good, too. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:00 3
- that's it! I'm like, "the stranger, the strangler? what was it??" -- nm - gingerbread men love mandy lane Dec 2, 11:04 2

I think Ricky Gervais is as close as anyone. - Dignan Dec 2, 10:58 22

- oh, I want to see that. thanks for reminding me -- nm - gingerbread men love mandy lane Dec 2, 11:06 1
  - I saw it in theatres. It was pretty decent. I liked Greg Kinnear in it, too ... he could almost pull off Bill Murray, if he tried ... -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:08
- This, I could see. Just the right amount of seedy. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 2, 11:05
- What about the inspiration for your handle? Owen Wilson -- nm - Inigo Dec 2, 11:05 10
  - Can you picture Murray in any of Wilson's roles? nm - Dignan Dec 2, 11:08 5
    - It would be funny to see Bill Murray as a male model, though, admit it :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:09
    - You, Me and Dupree is about as much a spirtual sucessor of What About Bob? as you'll find. -- nm - Inigo Dec 2, 11:08 3
      - Heh. Dupree is a guilty pleasure. nm - Dignan Dec 2, 11:10 2
        
        He would have been a great Dignan. -- nm - Inigo Dec 2, 11:16 1
        
        I don't think so. Dignan has zero self awareness. nm - Dignan Dec 2, 11:18
  - Too ugly. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:06 3
    - So, you watch Bill Murray movies because you think he's hot, eh? -- nm - Inigo Dec 2, 11:07 2
      - No, I just can't stand that prick Hansel. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:08 1
        
        that Hansel's so hot right now... -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 11:09
- too British... -- nm - znufrii Dec 2, 11:00 5
  - This is cock of the poppy variety. nm - Dignan Dec 2, 11:03 4
    - You could say he's the British corollary to Bill Murray, certainly... - znufrii Dec 2, 11:04 3
      - steve carrell? - Beryllium Dec 2, 11:05 2
        
        actually... - znufrii Dec 2, 11:06
        
        Too sweet. -- nm - Inigo Dec 2, 11:06
- Good call. Good call. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 2, 10:59
most of school is actually pretty fun. I mean, it's hard work, and a lot of it, but I am learning a *ton.* but my GA? - gingerbread men love mandy lane Dec 2, 10:58
*prorogues B1* -- nm - Reagen Dec 2, 10:57 1
