<BR> Re: Better cast/Disaster cast</b><br><br> I woulve liked to see some other actors as the cast is now , but alas i am not the director <p></p>

OOh yes, Ricky Martin as Faramir, that would be fab! They could put back the dance sequence at the waterfall that Tolkien had to cut

This subject came up again recently in the chat room, so I put together an Our Gang/Little Rascals cast....I hopes it's not been done here already.<P>Mickey as Frodo<BR>Stymie as Sam<BR>Porky as Pippin<BR>Scotty as Merry<BR>Spanky as Gandalf<BR>Mary Ann as Legolas<BR>Butch as Boromir<BR>Wheezer as Gimli<BR>Alfalfa as Aragorn<BR>Darla as Arwen<BR>Froggy as Gollum<BR>Waldo as Elrond<BR>Buckwheat as Lord of the Nazgûl<BR>Ferina as another Black Rider<BR>Pete the Pup as Bill the Pony

I think everyone in the first movie was cast brilliantly anyway,the only person I would change would be Kate Blanchett as Galadriel, she was RUBBISH <P>Anyone else would be better than her, except Britney Spears, she should be put down this instant, Oh, or Mariah Carey, in fact no-one who sings should ever be allowed onstage

I think the cast they picked was really good. I really liked Gandalf, Ian McKellan did an absolutely wonderful job protraying him! And Of course, who would want to change Legolas, Orlando Bloom is soooooo perfect!!!<BR>*passes out on the floor at the name of Orlando Bloom*

Orlando Bloom is EXTREMELY gorgeous, but noone could ever be as gorgeous, sweet-natured, hunky, and downright SEXY as Viggo Mortensen/Aragorn, mind you he wouldn't look half as good with short hair, but come on, I mean YUM!

Hey! Stop polluting the thread with off-topic drippy drooling. Tell us a replacement cast and keep the fantasizing in yer heads.

There are so many frighteningly disasterous cast lists in this posting (and screamingly funny) that I think I will appreciate the movie casting in a much greater way.........

For those old enough to have seen early SNL (perhaps it's in reruns somewhere?):<P>John Belushi as Lord of the Nazgul<BR>Garret Morris as Frodo<BR>Gilda Radner as Arwen <BR>Bill Murray as Aragorn<BR>Jane Curtin as Eowyn<BR>Father Guido Sarducci as Gollum<P>Chevy Chase as Gandalf<BR>Dan Ackroyd as Sauruman ('Gandalf, you ignorant sl**')<P>introducing: John Belushi's eyebrow as Sauron

I know that Tom Bombadil wasn't in the movie (shame, shame!) but Mom said that while she was reading FOTR she imagined Tom as Mel Gibson <BR> is this a dream cast or a disaster cast: <B> Mel Gibson as Tom Bombadil </B>??

Yeah, I can just picture Mel gibson hoppin around in his yellow boots singin hey ho merry dol, to the bottle I go, blah blah and whatever else that Tom sings!

Wow, Boromir, that sheild would just go great with my dinnerware!"<P>Gandalf: Pam Anderson<P>Bill the Pony: Arnold Schwarzenegger. <P>Merry and Pippin: The guys who sang the macarena song.<P>Oh and I know an Aussie band that could do the soundtrack! 30 Odd Foot of Grunts. You wanna know if it's bad? Well, I'll tell you who sings in it. Russell Crowe. Does that answer the question? <P>Yes, Britney Spears as the Mouth of Sauron! Actually, no.

I think for the disaster cast they should use the cast of the Goonies(I hoped I spelled it right.)

Rodney Dangerfield as Aragorn.<P>Bill Clinton as Boromir.

I really think that all the worst charecters have allready been named but one person I could not think to be Arwen - and that is Cher . No offence but that is just unbeliveble . And no way I could imagine Silvester Stallone as Aragorn . <BR>And I agree with most of you : members of boybands as any of the charecters ? I mean, that is just sick

I'd rather do the funny one because I think the original cast was as good as it gets.<BR>1. FRODO- Shaya Lebouf(that kid on Even Stevens.<BR> SAM- Hayden Christensen(he has the whole whiny thing down pat)<BR> GIMLI- Danny Devito is a good one.<BR> ARAGORN- Arnold Swartzineger<BR> GANDALF- Sean Connery<BR> LEGOLAS- Shayne West(haha little white boy)<BR> BOROMIR- Ben Afleck<BR> PIPPIN- Mike Meyers<BR> MERRY- David Gallager<BR> GALADRIEL- Renee Zelwegger<BR> BILBO- Woody Allen<BR> EOWYN- Linda Hamilton<BR> ARWEN- Jennifer Garner<P>This is my list so I hope all like it.

If any of these disaster casts ever happened, I would renounce all ties to this planet and live on Mars. John Travolta or Leonardo DiCaprio as Legolas?! In the name of Eru, stop the madness and the spread of terrifying mental images! just kidding

I think mine of Eminem as Elrond & Brittany Spears as Gollum can pretty well freak ANYBODY out...

Welcome to the Downs, Urwendi! <P>Those are some interesting ones...<BR> <BR>Are you sure LeBeouf and Christenson could get along? That'd be a wierd combination... I think Shia would drive Hayden nuts. But you're right about his whole whiny thing.

Aragorn: Eminem<BR>Arwen: Hillary Duff<BR>Galadriel: Pink<BR>Eowyn: Brandy<P><BR>Think about it... and shudder..
