    Ooh, good one!
  4. Dominicboo1 Well-Known Member

    Cool, but I think Link would be a better Gaston. Gaston has to look attractive, but be cruel inside.
  5. jgidley Active Member

    Say, that's a good idea. I completely forgot!(there should be a Link emoticon)

    It's.... bizarre. I don't think I could tell you what it's about. It's by David Lynch. If you thought his Twin Peaks was strange, compared to Eraserhead it's Charles Dickens. Seriously, it will break your brain and then stir the fragments.

    Oh, and I changed my mind about The Lady Across the Hall. Gladys (the cafeteria lady) would be a much better choice. And Miss Piggy wouldn't kick me through a wall for putting her in this freakshow.
  10. MissMusical12 Well-Known Member

    I only saw a little of that movie when I watched it in my Spanish class two years ago. (Don't ask). I really enjoyed it though and I wanna see the rest. :halo:

    Monsters, Inc. (Me and these Disney/Pixar Movies....)
    James P. Sullivan (Sulley)- Sweetums (I think he'd be a perfect Sulley, in my opinion. Let's give some love to Sweetums!)
    Mike Wazowski- Pepe
    Boo- Mary Louise (The little girl. The one in the Steve Martin episode.) (*I couldn't think of anyone else)
    Randall Boggs- Uncle Deadly
    Celia Mae- Spamela Hamderson
    Henry J. Waternoose III- J.P. Grosse
    Roz- Gladys (The waitress in the canteen)
    Fungus (*By the way, this was the character Frank Oz voiced in this movie)- Grover (It's only fitting to cast a Frank Oz Muppet with a Frank Oz character.)
    George Sanderson- Thog
    Smitty- Andy Pig
    Needleman- Randy Pig
    Phlegm- Behemoth (aka Gene)

    (Wow.....I love how this casting includes plenty of underrated Muppets. Nobody's really given a lead role to Sweetums. I really like this casting.)

    By the way, a few things I forgot to mention:
    *George Sanderson....that's the guy always caught with the "2319."
    *The only reason I cast J.P. Grosse was Waternoose is because I couldn't think of anyone else........sorry. :o

    Sam the Eagle, Statler & Waldorf, Sweetums, Pepe the King Prawn, Bobo the Bear, Swedish Chef, Rizzo the Rat, Cookie Monster, Harry, Oscar the Grouch, Uncle Deadly, Bunsen Hondeydew and Beaker:
    Blue Meanies, who change back to their normal (yet happier) Muppet selves after their final defeat

    As for Miss Piggy, she can be one of the Pepperlanders who manages to escape the Meanies and helps the heroes out when they arrive in Pepperland. (I added this so she could get some decent screen time and lines). She helps out by karate-chopping the Meanies, rendering them temporarily unconscious, and of course, makes witty comments every now and then.

    I guess Miss Piggy's role could be something like a mayor's assistant, who finds herself temporarily taking over the Mayor's duties and responsibilities when Link gets bonked unconscious by the Meanies....
