silver Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I came up with an idea for someone to play Moist Von Lipwig in Going Postal.If we dyed his hair light brown, what about Simon Pegg? Yuck no. Voice of Anghammarad (assuming it would be CGI) - James Earl Jones ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickadee Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 Yuck no. Voice of Anghammarad (assuming it would be CGI) - James Earl Jones ? Hmmmm, OK. I just thought that he had a kind of "everyman" face. Is James Earl Jones not a bit cliched? I mean, people will sit there and go "Luke I am your father." (Even though that's actually a mis-quote that the whole world seems to think is correct.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would probably have to be a relative unknown. Although if Hollywood did the casting they would go for somebody like Johnny Depp :roftl: With Angelina Jolie as Adora Belle I suppose Jame Earl Jones is a bit cliched - but it is a great voice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen him over the last couple of years in things and not realised it was the same person until looking him up on IMDb. Yes, James does have a great voice. Just that I know it too well.

chickadee Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hmmmm. We are Golden.... Moist Von Lipwig, anyone? I saw the gold shoes at the beginning of the clip, as well as the little wings drawn on the We Are Golden tape and immediately thought of Moist and his golden winged shoes.

I don't think Mika has mentioned Terry Pratchett as one of his influences, but you never know And he is familiar with the work of Neil Gaimann .....

silver Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Terry Pratchett has written a long and moving article for one of the Sunday papers about dying with dignity, and assisted suicide. I will try to post a link if it is online, as it is too long to scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
