Funny you should say. Ellen Degeneres is going to be in the non-joking remake of "Oh God!"
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

In the George Burns role, or the John Denver one?

The former, if I remember correctly. Not sure who'll play the bewildered mortal.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Okay, but Morgan did Hard Rain and Bruce Almighty, for crying out loud.
I don't think you lose points for accepting the role of God, no matter how crappy the movie.

I liked Alanis as God.
A being whose voice can destroy all of creation? Yup, she was well cast.
Okay, I like Alanis' music and singing, but I know why others don't like her, and I can't hold that against people, but I am oddly defensive about Dogma and her appearance as God in it. I get weepy at that movie, and that scene in particular.
You may all now mock me while I sit in the corner harboring a bitter resentment (if I had a phaser, some people would pay...).

I'll just say that seems an odd reaction to watching Ben Affleck's head explode - mine was a huge disbelieving gasp of laughter followed by applause.
However, Matt Damon's fate in that movie did disturb me a bit.

(It's the standing on her head, smelling the flowers, and the nose tweak that get me)

Me too. And I *don't* like Alanis' music or singing. But I get happily weepy at that scene every time.

She wasn't remotely convincing for me. Probably stupid to even care about such a thing; the role is God, for God's sake--how are you supposed to play that convincingly? I didn't get any sense of almighty wisdom or any such from the performance, though. It felt more or less like, "So, you're God, huh?" "Yep, pretty much."
