Note before I begin that my movie/tv knowledge is not particularly broad, and so most of my choices will be pretty mainstream.
Hm, I'm torn. Either:
A) Robert DeNiro. I'm sort of picturing him as a gritty version of the character he played in Stardust.
B) Nathan Fillion.
Deniro fits the "grizzled military commando" better than Fillion, but Malcolm Reynolds is pretty much my de facto standard for "heart of gold captain."
Elisha Cuthbert. I watch that terrible "Happy Endings" show just for her. "Impossibly cute" is actually the description I'd have used for her even if you'd said something else.
Although on another note, I would stop watching this hypothetical show of ours if they killed her off, so maybe I should pick someone else. Sarah Chalke, perhaps, in her early Elliot Reid days. Still amazing, but I could probably live with a show that gave her the boot.
Heh, Jeff Bridges. 3 parts "True Grit," one part "Tron."
I...have no idea.
How young does the kid have to be? Can I go with Dakota Fanning? Precocious and a little creepy seems to be her thing.
Hm, Lisa Kudrow. She's good at the ditzy "this is weird, but sure why not" sort of stuff.
I'm going with a CGI alien voiced by Eddie Murphy.
What about David Spade? I have a pretty easy time picturing him as a bit-character who makes jokes, and as someone who used to be a dog. For some reason.
I just can't picture anyone other than Ian McKellen as Gandalf. Still one of the most spot-on castings I've ever seen.
...Scrubs. Yes, I know.
I never watched X-files, BUT I do know who they care. I'm hoping that gets me at least a temp pass.
Fuzzy Navel.
Rick Astley's "Never gonna give you up." I feel that this might help to explain some of his irrational angry outbursts.
Meineke. With an exhaust like the one on the back of the Falcon, Han must go through mufflers on a daily basis.
An iMac. Slow and not very functional, but adorably cute just the same.
Taco Bell. Fits the climate (economic, and environmental).
*polite cough*
I just don't even have an answer for this one.
The Last Airbender.
I'm not interested enough in Depp to think up six different roles for him.
I would totally watch a modern Back to the Future. Spaceballs, too, except I'm worried they'd fall into the "trying too hard" trap. It can be hard to replicate stuff like that.
Least would probably be Memento (that movie was stupid), and anything after "Gladiator."
- The grizzled ex-military commando spacejumping daredevil badass pirate captain with a heart of gold.

B) Nathan Fillion.
Deniro fits the "grizzled military commando" better than Fillion, but Malcolm Reynolds is pretty much my de facto standard for "heart of gold captain."
- The impossibly cute love interest who dies at the end of the first season (spoilers!).
Elisha Cuthbert. I watch that terrible "Happy Endings" show just for her. "Impossibly cute" is actually the description I'd have used for her even if you'd said something else.
Although on another note, I would stop watching this hypothetical show of ours if they killed her off, so maybe I should pick someone else.
Sarah Chalke, perhaps, in her early Elliot Reid days. Still amazing, but I could probably live with a show that gave her the boot.- The wise old mentor figure who rides a flying space horse and wears a stetson.
Heh, Jeff Bridges. 3 parts "True Grit," one part "Tron."
- The queen of the Galic tribes circa 47 BC.
I...have no idea.
- The precocious child who always gets into trouble but is secretly the leader of the unstoppable alien shapeshifting menace.
How young does the kid have to be? Can I go with Dakota Fanning? Precocious and a little creepy seems to be her thing.
- The young woman who got lost on the way to the corner store and ended up hitching a ride with an alien and becoming stranded in the chaotic energy of time itself causing her to pop out randomly at different points throughout the past and the future.
Hm, Lisa Kudrow. She's good at the ditzy "this is weird, but sure why not" sort of stuff.
- The sarcastic alien she caught a ride with, who wears a long coat and dual-wields toy Star Trek phasers.
I'm going with a CGI alien voiced by Eddie Murphy.
- The wisecracking ship pilot who used to be a dog before the unfortunate transmogrification.
What about David Spade? I have a pretty easy time picturing him as a bit-character who makes jokes, and as someone who used to be a dog. For some reason.
- Gandalf.
I just can't picture anyone other than Ian McKellen as Gandalf. Still one of the most spot-on castings I've ever seen.
2. If you could keep one show, and one show only, on the air for the rest of your life, which do you choose? You can resurrect cancelled shows as well.
...Scrubs. Yes, I know.
3. Mulder versus Scully:
If you don't know who Mulder and Scully are, get out of my internets, we don't want your kind around here.
I never watched X-files, BUT I do know who they care. I'm hoping that gets me at least a temp pass.
4. George Lucas decides to make money by inserting product placement into the Star Wars saga in the New Fourth Extra Special Edition.
- What is Chewbacca's beverage of choice?
Fuzzy Navel.
- What is Darth Vader's iPhone ringtone?
Rick Astley's "Never gonna give you up." I feel that this might help to explain some of his irrational angry outbursts.
- Where does Han Solo take the Millenium Falcon for all his maintenance and tuneup needs?
Meineke. With an exhaust like the one on the back of the Falcon, Han must go through mufflers on a daily basis.
- Is R2-D2 a Mac or a PC?
An iMac. Slow and not very functional, but adorably cute just the same.
- What is the most popular fast food chain on Tatooine?
Taco Bell. Fits the climate (economic, and environmental).
- What does Princess Leia use to relax after a hard day in the garbage compactor?
*polite cough*
- What is Yoda's favourite sports team?
I just don't even have an answer for this one.
5. You can erase one movie from time, so that it never existed and never will. Which do you choose?
The Last Airbender.
6. Johnny Depp becomes Lord Emperor of Hollywood and will now play the starring role in every single movie, and will also be inserted via CGI into the starring role of every movie ever made in the past.
- What are the top three roles you'd want to see him as? Future or inserted into the past.
I'm not interested enough in Depp to think up six different roles for him.
7. Of the following, which would you most want to see a sequel for, and which would you least want to see a sequel for? Back to the Future, Kill Bill, Spaceballs, Memento (actually a prequel in disguise), Fight Club, Gladiator, Signs, Trains Planes & Automobiles, Kindergarten Cop, Hamlet (the undead sequel to the Mel Gibson version).
I would totally watch a modern Back to the Future. Spaceballs, too, except I'm worried they'd fall into the "trying too hard" trap. It can be hard to replicate stuff like that.
Least would probably be Memento (that movie was stupid), and anything after "Gladiator."
