WOW, good call.

They have to play themselves with no de-wrinkling allowed.

I'm suprised more people haven't lashed out for this being a repeated thread. I've seen a couple of these, and think I made one myself, as well, but why does that matter? New people join this forumn all the time.

Anyway, David Bowie as Kim Gordon.

yeah...in other words...i just really hope there isnt a movie made about that band because it would SUCK. sonic youth is my favorite band, and a movie about them would be...eh...really dissapointing.

im an idiot. i have a slight headache and a pretty bad chest cold. maybe i should make a movie about it.

so un-interesting that most of us have re-read the same story three times (Confusion Is Next, Psychic Confusion, Goodbye 20th Century) right?

Movies about bands are pointless , ie Joy Division and The Doors.

Tom Waits.
Not cast as anyone, he just ought to be in it.

Demonrail could play Jon Spencer
Phoenix could take on the Lydia Lunch role.

obviously James Woods would play Lee Ranaldo

so:
I agree

Allison Janney could do a good contemporary Kim Gordon.

Her eyes are pretty bang on. Everything else is a little off.

I saw a stripper once, who looked just like Kim.

wasn't playing any sort of card. Just stating my own opinion the story has been interesting enough that I've re-read it numerous times.
