Who will play Chucklenuts in the movie that will have to be made

after this nightmare is over? Oliver Stone your country needs you.

I honestly can't think of one single Hollywood movie star that could convincingly play the sheer stupidity, lame, halting speech, the vacant stare and the fingernails on chalkboard laugh of this a$$wipe in a movie of this faux cowboy.

Any ideas"

Who will play -

Chucklenuts
Dead Eye
Cindasleezy
Rummy
Snotty Scotty
and on and on and on

But he's probably too intelligent to play the part convincingly.

Laura would be a good part also.

Every time they have a show or movie about *, that's who they get.

... appears more thoughtful and competent than the actual guy. Even when he was playing Bush for laughs in that comedy show, Bottoms had him being patient with his staff when they messed up, and even tested people to make sure they'd know what to do in a crisis. Which is a lot more than the real Bush did!

And if you watch that "Time of Crisis" movie to the end -- when they sub in the news footage of the real Bush delivering that speech, it's completely jarring. In that role, Bottoms may not be the most charismatic presence (but consider how little they give him to work with!) -- however, he seems way more reassuring than Bush!

is being filmed.

Haggis is Against All Enemies

Picking a project to follow up the either trite or brilliant Crash (and, since it won best picture, no one really cares about the haters, do they?), writer/director Paul Haggis has gone in an interesting direction: he's in final talks to direct Against All Enemies, an adaptation of Richard A. Clarke's condemnation of the Bush administration's handling of the threat posed by al-Qaida. Though Haggis won't be writing the screenplay himself, he's expected to "supervise" the next draft, which is in the hands of James Vanderbilt. Haggis himself is currently writing and will direct Death and Dishonor for Warner Brothers, and it's not clear which project will be made first.

Aside from its intensely political nature, what's interesting about a movie version of Clarke's memoir is its cast: George W. Bush, for example, is sort of a main character in the thing. Is Columbia actually going to hire someone to play him? What about Condoleezza Rice, and Donald Rumsfeld? While I'd be the first to admit that such a thing could work (Nixon, which is packed to the gills with portrayals of well-know politicians, is fantastic), the fact that the central figures of Clarke's book are still in the public eye complicates things. Will we, for example, be able to see a Bush on screen without giggling, and thinking immediately of SNL?

(In a later article, though, it's pointed out in the script that Bush is portrayed "offscreen.")

It's not just his mocking portrayal on SNL and uncanny resemblance. He is so good at conveying confusion in his facial expressions and body language. Ferrell's wild and crazy characters are fueled by paranoia, fear and self-hatred. I would love to see Ferrell portray Bush's transition from adult adolescent drunkeness to rigid evangelical delusion. He could very convincingly display Bush's cruel, vengeful nature while actually making you feel some sympathy for the child who was raised by a cruel, vengeful mother.

Great minds and all ...

His characterization would be a lot more sinister, I imagine. I recall "Natural Born Killers" (speaking of Oliver Stone) and how Harrelson could come off normal and even reasonable on the surface, and then go so cold and psychotic. To his way of thinking there were people who deserved to die, so he killed them. It could be a chilling portrayal. :hi:

... as well as whining incompetents (like the terrorist in the Austin Powers movies).

Dennis Quaid - takeoff on Bush
Willem DeFoe - take off on Cheney


From a review:

Dennis Quaid is the US President, who reads the newspaper for the first time in years and, overwhelmed by the disconcerting headlines, gives up on running the country. The Vice President, who looks more like Dick Cheney than the fictional VP did in Day After Tomorrow, is worried about his boss' new obsession with world issues and signs him onto "American Dreamz" to be a surprise guest judge in its final episode, so as to improve public opinion. Oh, and here's the best part: Willem Dafoe is the VP.

Chucklenuts: Bubbles The Chimp
Dead Eye: The guy who played him in "The Day After Tomorrow"
Cindasleazy: Whoppi Goldberg (I think she'd have fun with this)
Rummy: The guy who played that Nazi in Raiders of the Lost Ark
Snotty Scotty: Richard Simmons

Britney Spears as Jenna...
Teri Hatcher as Pickles...
Charlton Heston as GHWB...
Doris Roberts or Delta Burke as Mad Momma Babs
Shannon Doherty as "Mini Me" Babs
Fred Thompson as Deadeye Cheney...
Bo Derek as "Lick'em Lynne" Cheney...
Kelsey Grammar as Rummy...
Joe Paterno as Paul Wolfowitz...
Heather Locklear as "Ann the Man" Coulter...
Regis Philbin as Snotty Scotty...
Johnny Mathis as Kindasleezy Rice...
and a cameo by Mel Gibson as Bill O'Reilly

'Cause it's hard work...

Sid

Vin Diesel as Dick Cheney
Jim Carrey as Don Rumsfeld

Can't cast any of the women, I can't think of any actresses that come across as that sullen.

If you're talking real actors, Macy's a great cast!

How about Anthony Hopkins as DeadEye? He's already done Hannibal, so all he has to do is turn up the evil another notch or two.
