Actually, I’d be better cast with Sean Hayes - I’m much more like Jack than Niles (although I probably do _look_ a little more like David Hyde Pierce). 🙂 Esprix ---

We could just have Johnny Depp play everyone. But if not, I would like to be played by Halle Berry. ---

In the vein of “Freddy vs. Jason”, I’d like to see “Cecil Adams vs. Dan Savage”, where they almost destroy each other with their blunt erudition, but join forces to save the world from the threats of Marilyn Vos Savant and Isadora Alman. I definitely see Kevin Spacey playing Cecil. ---

**I** would be played by [John Reynolds](http://imdb.com/Bio?Reynolds,%20John%20(I)) of course, were it not for the fact that he offed himself in 1966. ---

A few of the bored, out of school for the summer teenagers should come over to the bright side and fight ignorance. (Like myself, although I didn’t start by spamming, just by being a bored teenager.) It would just be a subplot, of course, with the real focus being on vanquishing ignorance. ---

I believe Andy Serkis will have to be signed on to play me. And, of course, the nemesis of the movie will be a legion of [Evil Nazi Groundhogs,](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=15906&highlight=nazi+groundhogs) who summon a hoarde of “Gotchya ya!” chanting [all-star zombies.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=194873) ---
