'M*A*S*H' recast

In my current conversation with Dean {going on now}, we got to talking about Clifton Collins Jr. and I mentioned that in 'Tigerland' he looked like Klinger and that I could see him playing Klinger if they ever re-made 'M*A*S*H' into a movie or a tv series. So, here are my picks for who I think could and in some cases HAVE to play them.

Bradley Cooper as Hawkeye Pierce. Bradley has played some assy people, and while Hawkweye is a gifted surgeon {something I think Bradley could play with aplomb}, he's a HUGE ass.



Jason Sudeikis as Trappper John McIntyre. I initially had Jason as B.J., but this photo just SCREAMS Trapper to me. Trapper is a likeable character, but like Hawkeye, he is an ass, he just has more charm to him to excuse it.



Peter Sarsgaard as B.J. Hunnicutt. I had Peter initially as Trapper, but the more I looked at him, the more I could see him as B.J. It would be nice to see him in a role that isn't creepy or dramatic, and I'd like to see his take on how B.J. deals with being apart from his wife and daughter for so long.



Kelsey Grammer as Charles Emerson Winchester III. I mean...there's no explanation needed. He IS Charles.



Clifton Collins Jr. as Maxwell Q. Klinger. I initially thought Fred Armisen was the best choice for Klinger, but I think Clifton would do a wonderful job, and would probably bring an even deeper level to the character than there already is.



Sarah Chalke as Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan. Sarah has the looks, and she has the shrillness of Margaret, and the subtle emotionality that's needed for the role.



Will Forte as Frank Burns. This photo of Will is an old one, but he looks so much like Larry Linville as Frank, that there's no one else I can see playing him. He's good at being a buffoon, now I'd like to see him be a hated buffoon.



John Mahoney as Colonel Potter. Like Kelsey Grammer as Winchester, John Mahoney IS Colonel Potter.



Anton Yelchin as Walter "Radar" O'Reilly. He would make a more believable 19 year old than Gary Burghoff ever did. Plus, he still has the innocent look about him that would make him a believable Radar.



Steve Zahn as Father Mulcahy. I think he would be the perfect embodiment of the soft-spoken priest who also knows how to throw a good punch when it's needed.



Adam Goldberg as Sidney Freedman. Literally, who else could you see as Sidney?

Like Friends, we all toy around with the "top 5" or "top 10" list of celebrities that, even if we were in a committed, monogamous relationship, would get a "freebie" with. Got any you'd happily catch in the sack should the stars ever align properly?

I am always thinking of this question, and have had to make a list with 5 more added to it {making 10 altogether...I can do Math hurr durr}. But for the purposes of this, we'll go with:

1. Robert Downey Jr.

2. Jensen Ackles

3. Clifton Collins Jr.

4. Chris Marquette

5. Jason Sudeikis

Ask me things. And even stuff.

Dark Tower casting call

In the news of a Dark Tower TV series and three films coming to light, something that excites me more than is probably necessary, I thought I would take the time to show some of the people I would like to see in these roles.

Viggo Mortensen as Roland Deschain

Aside from de-aging Clint Eastwood {who basically is Roland}, Viggo is the only logical choice.


Brendan Hines as Eddie Dean

Whenever I read the books, I always always picture Brendan as Eddie.


Colin Ford as Jake Chambers

He's basically the living embodiment of Jake, and the only one I think could actually pull off that role, and do it well. If they wait too long, though, he will become too old to play Jake.


Gina Torres as Susannah Dean/Detta Walker

She is the only person I can see playing Susannah/Detta and being able to do it well. Zoe Saldana has been suggested, and while I'm not against that, I still think Gina would do a much better job.

As I'm only on book 5, and halfway through at that, I will be adding to this as more characters make their appearance/as I think of more.

If you haven't seen any of the films this guy has been in {'Capote', 'Star Trek' {he was the 2nd in command Romulan named Ayel}, 'Traffic', 'Babel', 'Tigerland', 'Rules of Attraction', 'Boondock Saints II' {he's really the only good thing about the film}...I could go on}, you really owe it to yourself to do so. He's PHENOMENAL and deserves every acting accolade I can think of.

As Perry Smith in 'Capote'.

Looking as GQ as a BAMF can get. Also; arms...hnnnng

He looks like a hunter here, and in fact I wholeheartedly support him being a guest star/recurring character on 'Supernatural' this season. Fighting the good fight and kicking ass while he does it.

He's going to be on the show 'The Event' this autumn. Now you and I have another reason to watch NBC.

And did I mention he's incredibly magnetically attractive? Watch one of his films if you don't believe me. He steals the scene constantly.

I'll just...*cough* leave this here...
