P-C, you should totally propose that to SciFi. Perhaps you could include the Giant Auk and the Sea Mink. Ooh and the Carolina Parakeet!
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Some of these I totally see--Chow Yun Fat as Morpheus in The Matrix, and others make the movie way too different.
I think the turning down that surprised me the most was Kate Hudson picking The Four Feathers over Spiderman.
I just .... man, I didn't even like Spiderman. I still would have taken the role.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Daniel Day Lewis would've made a good Aragorn.
Not that I'm unhappy with Viggo, but DDL would've been good.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Have you seen Night of the Lepus?
Generally, Hec, the answer to "Have you seen [movie]?" coming from you is no. Heh.

I wonder why Christina Ricci didn't get the role of Lolita. She seems perfect. Perhaps too perfect? Dunno. Never saw it.

You may consider it rhetorical then.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Night of the Lepus is made of awesome, except for the part where it's made of total spectacular badness (which is in itself made of awesome). Here's the original trailer, which will probably somehow fail to frighten you to death.

Wow. That was awesomely bad. It reminded me of the Don't trailer, in that it never really tells you what the fuck it's about.
