_Laurie_ Posted March 17, 2006 Report Posted March 17, 2006 okay, gottcha, thanks....I'll keep on the downlow
Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 17, 2006 Author Report Posted March 17, 2006 bazooka....thank you...thank you...thank you!!
Steel2Velvet Posted March 17, 2006 Report Posted March 17, 2006 Joss Stone might be a good choice to play Janis. Of course we don't know if she can act. But she sure can sing.
_Laurie_ Posted March 17, 2006 Report Posted March 17, 2006 and she's very pretty...they might have to rough her up a little bit with make-up.
Ken Posted March 17, 2006 Report Posted March 17, 2006 Jimmy Buffett's story should be played by Matthew McConaughey and shot all over the Caribbean and contain great characters like Bobcat Goldthwaite. Ken.
Batman Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 What the world needs now is a Richey James biopic. I don't know who'd play him, though. Probably some unknown British actor who's good at playing depressed crazy people.
bazooka Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 Here's a way old thread along similar lines.
bluesboy Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 How about a Louis Armstrong film with Spike Lee as director.
_Laurie_ Posted March 18, 2006 Report Posted March 18, 2006 8 p.m. & 9 p.m. ( 7 & 8 Central Time ) Here's the lowdown. Thanks again Bazooka...My daughter watched the Jimi Hendrix bio with me....she loved it...she likes Hendrix....but she lost interest when Janis came on....Oh Well...I enjoyed both!

Probably some unknown British actor who's good at playing depressed crazy people. i was thinking the same! i'll think about who could play him and get back to you!
phil Posted March 20, 2006 Report Posted March 20, 2006 They should do the Jim Nabors Story and cast David Lee Roth as Jim. Cause he is the biggest Gomer I have have ever seen.
NewYorkMets9 Posted March 20, 2006 Report Posted March 20, 2006 The Pete Towshend Story starring Michael Jackson
rtstuff Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 I would like to see a movie about the Everly Brothers. There constant feuding as brothers and their music I think would make for a interesting movie. However, I have had a heck of a time coming up with the two main actors. I may need some help from you guys and gals on the casting. I could only come up with perhaps Hugh Jackman and Jake Gillenhayll or however you spell his name. I know Joaquim Phoenix has already done Cash, but he may also do a good Phil or Don Everly. What do you all think? rtstuff

Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 21, 2006 Author Report Posted March 21, 2006 This is a little off topic, but tonight (March 17, 2006) A&E television features Janis Joplin on Biography , right after the Jimi Hendrix Bio . bazooka...thanks again for the heads up on these two shows. I enjoyed them both! I knew that Hendrix was wild, but man he was over the edge for sure. And I felt so sad when I saw the footage of Janis back in Port Arthur with the reporters, they just treated her like trash, broke my heart. I hope they repeat them, I would like to tape both shows.
Jenny Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 Have they done one on the Beach Boys yet? I know there was a TV miniseries, but I don't know about a movie. I think that would make a good story. Phil Spector? Would that be interesting?
daslied Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 Phil Spector? Would that be interesting? What do you think, Jenny? I say yes:
Jenny Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 Maybe Jon Heder can re-grow his Napoleon Dynamite 'fro for this movie
Tenacious_Peaches Posted March 21, 2006 Report Posted March 21, 2006 Here are the top three contenders to play Phil Spector... Heder as Napoleon Dynamite... Justin Guarini... Sideshow Bob....

I may need some help from you guys and gals on the casting. What do you all think? The Sprague Brothers from Witchita Falls, Texas. Their album Forever And A Day owes much to the Everly Brothers. They'd have to be screen tested for acting, but they sure could sing the parts.
