in other news, jude law as ian curtis.
this was the best novel to come out in the past 6 years, and elijah irks me. i heard the movie out now with him, green street hooligans, is acutally pretty good. but i can't understand how he keeps getting great roles. i think he must freely give it up to hollywood's gay mafia

i don't like elijah wood too much - kinda lacks presence.
dude is wayyyy short, has scruffy friends, and smokes in real life
are you a "reporter" for E! ?
Why?
YES!
Actually, a few years ago I ran into him in real life once on third street promenade. He was waiting to see a movie or came out of a movie with his rag-tag crew of hommies.
these guys?
Who should play this role? Hmmm... definitely Sean Astin.
DJ Ferrari
don't laff at me but i think kevin bacon
-not afraid of full frontal
-competant actor
-scary lean body
-has somewhat of a music background
because i obsessively heart jim osterberg so
i think kevin bacon is a strong pick.
He was excellent in The Chase
Good call... there's a scary resemblance right there.
DJ Ferrari
he always wears sandals. He is what my work smells like
that's actually a great call
u should be a casting director
POINTBREAK
absolutely HILARIOUS movie
"dude"
This could work if he goes on the Christian Bale Machinist diet.
Anthony Keidis is in his mid 40's
waaaay too old to play a young iggy pop
take that shit to Gyllanhaal
or stick some long hair on my hollywood doppelganger and let him sing about being your dog
But if they gave it to Jake Gyllanhal a number of women I know would swoon and watch it three, maybe four times in a row
haha beat me to it.
ran into him in LAX. dude said he was a huge stone's throw fan. nuff said.
dude looks like a 14 year old in a suit.
how about iggy pop playing iggy pop ? he acted in coffee and cigarettes.
you can give this guy a drug problem, a sexy past, tattoos, long hair and even give him a friend like flea - but he still reeks of jock to me.
what do i know? this is my crush of the moment:
eggzactly. kevin bacon already got that lean athletic junkie body. iggy pop seems to have been born with it. plus, dude is great at playing greasy
gyllenhaal's face actually looks it i admit
