Description:

For those who like to ask "what if...?" What if Pulp Fiction had been released in 1975? What if The Matrix we know is a remake; what would the original be like? Beware the cute baby orangutan, he's deadly and on the loose. You can read about him in the "Huxley: scourge or blessing?" entry of the "Movies Thrown Into the Past" discussion.

Jigsaw Dialogue



I'm envisioning something like the online Babelfish translator:

1.  Type or copy/paste text into the box.

2.  Select an actor from our list of 100 performers.

3.  You have selected:  ARNOLD SWARZENEGGER.  Our database contains all cinematic dialogue spoken by ARNOLD SWARZENEGGER.  Please wait while our program splices together ARNOLD SWARZENEGGER's latest, exclusive performance.

4.  [you hear Arnold read the text you entered--probably the course syllabus for Archaeology 201 or something]

Or you could hear Judy Garland read a Charles Bukowski poem.  Or listen to Charles Bronson run through a Mitch Hedberg bit.  

What would you want to hear, read by whom?

Re: Jigsaw Dialogue



Heh, remember that guy in the audition in Waiting for Guffman who reads the dialogue from Raging Bull?  I'd like to hear him read anything that was originally obscene and passionate.

I would like to hear the actors Ed Wynn and John Fiedler switching off reading excerpts from the novel Naked Lunch or maybe some something from Hunter S. Thompson.

Re: Jigsaw Dialogue



I'd like to hear  Anne Coulter and Martha Stewart run the dialogue in the diner scene from the pork discussion all the way to the end and  from when they enter the apartment until Anne Coulter shoots Marvin in the face. Hilarious and sexy.

 Aaron Eckhart  and Matt Dillon in Withnail and I

 Zach Galifianakis and Mitch Hedberg(rip) doing the entirety of Tango and Cash

Tom Hanks as Dirk Diggler in Boogie Nights

Scarlett Johannson(Kelly), Christian Bale(turbo), Gerard Butler(ozone), Johnny Depp(the bastard father of Kelly) and Christina Ricci(fangirlcameo) in Breakin 2 Electric Boogaloo

Jake Gyllenhaal (driver) and Emile Hirsch(mechanic) w/ Bijou Philips (passenger) in the remake that will and should never be done. TwoLane BlackTop

The entire cast of Goodfellas doing Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

I think this all turned out to not be what you were asking for. I started thinking about seeing these actors playing the roles. Damn.. thats what happens when I can't devote 100% attention. I'll leave this for discussion, but I do realize I went off on a tangent that dosen't fit your request. Sorry.

Who cares!  I was still fun to picture all of these.  The ones I'm familiar with at least.

Yeah, right on.  But just FYI, AndyLaBryn, -- there's an older discussion thread in this group called "Re-Cast"

Re:Jigsaw Dialogue



In a way, I've already heard my dream dialogue. Last spring, my then-youth pastor bought an audio book version of the bible read by an all-star African American cast. Just for kicks we put it on Revelations, and low and behold, there was Samuel L., reading for the voice of God. It doesn't get much more powerful than that, lemme tell ya.

I guess maybe (just because of the cliched fun) I'd like to hear Ezekiel 25:17. That'd just be...y'know...awesome.
