Fun for everyone

I sometimes think about what to say, just for the purpose of making coherent mouth moises. (I guess that's what this blog is all about, after all.)

I often think about those awkward situations when you're with someone you don't really know, say, on a date, and the two of you are sitting across from each other, staring vacantly across the room, wondering why you're there. Books containing dating tips that give you topics to talk about usually have the same old crap, including "talk about your favourite music/books/movies".

So in my cranial boredom, I came up with a fun game you can play in the car.

I call it "Hollywood Producer". Cast a movie that's already been made with the most inappropriate people you can. But they can't be completely far-fetched, and they still have to fit the role, so no casting Jack Black as Luke Skywalker or anything. John came up with this cast for Lord of the Rings. He forgot to add his idea to cast Jack Nicholson as Elrond. Hee hee!

Here's my list:
Aragorn - Johnny Depp
Legolas - Keanu Reeves
Boromir - Vin Diesel
Gimli - Jack Black
Gandalf - Sean Connery (note: he actually turned down the role to star in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen... everyone now! Worst career decision ever...)
Frodo - Jimmy Fallon
Sam - Seth Green
Galadreil - Paris Hilton

Conversely, you can play the conventional "Cast a movie from a book you've read" game, which isn't as fun, but good while drinking.
