The other day I was watching a movie or something and I thought to myself, "Self, this guy could totally be Jack. He's got the look, the eyes, the chops. He's perfect!"

And then myself completely forgot the guys name, what he looked like, what the name of the movie was, what channel it was on, what day I watched it, or even what time of day it was.

A perfect solution completely lost in the pitfall that is my memory.

:cryin:

Welcome to middle-age.

Numero Uno: It was definitely not Edward Norton. I have been against him in previous posts and there is no hope for him still.

Two: I don't want to be middle-aged. I'm twenty-one! Though it should only stand to reason that my mind should follow my eyes. I'm blind as a bat and from here it's only going to get worse. <sad face>

Tres: Still can't remember who I was thinking of.

My apologies, Seph. Have you had multiple, significant head injuries or are you just chronically sleep deprived that your short term memory is so sketchy?

Keep adding that Ginkgo-biloba to your smoothies, young woman!

I'm a chronic insomniac. It's been that way since I was 13. My memory my be shit, but I've still got the best one in this house!

Also: Ginko would laugh at my brain and say, "Fuck this!"

Time (and insomnia) is thine enemy!

From another thread: The current requirements for actors to play Jack:

1. The everyman look
2. US and Overseas Box Office appeal
3. Relatively unknown
4. Can show a wide array of emotions
5. Must be between 28 and 32 years old (to pass as 38 in 15 years, after a number of Jack sequels, when Nightworld is filmed)

I myself, after seeing a few of his films, I am warming up to the idea of Sam Worthington. However, I'm still trying to remember the "perfect" Jack I was thinking of before.

What I think we need to do to establish where we are with things, is to have some kind of an organized vote. Each person can vote only once [we should check for people who try to stuff the ballot], and they should pick their top nominees for the main characters of the first film.

Including:
Jack
Gia
Vicky [if you have one]
Abe
Kusum Bahkti
Kalabati[sp?] Bahkti

and any others we deem necessary to cast here. I'll think of a way to do this more oraganize-y. In the meantime people should start preparing their lists. But please do not post until I've got this figured out. It'll be too hard to sort through them all here.

Holy Shnike!

I was just looking through Sam Worthington's filmography...

He played MacBeth!

Maybe he can act, after all?

Of course it was a modern re-imaging of the tale and it has only 4.8 stars out of 10, but still.

Anyone seen The Great Raid?

Apparently, Sam Worthington played PFC Lucas in that one.

I'm curious as to how big the role was and how well he did.

You can use the poll option on the board to run the vote.

You should probably run one cast member in each poll/thread.

Within each poll/thread you can showcase each of the choices so that people can review them prior to voting.

Also...I suggest having two polls for Jack one for under 35 Jack candidates and one for over 35 Jack candidates...then the top 2 or three from each can slug it out on a final "who's your favourite Jack, irrespective of age, poll"

Just a suggestion.

-Wapitikev

That is a wonderful suggestion. And I will start work on it right away. Should we limit the vote to Who's Your Cast members, or the entire site?

And I saw that version of Macbeth a few years ago and then had nightmares that I would have triplet daughters who look like the red-headed witches. -shudders- Creepy.
