What an accurate reflection of all those directors. I especially love Mel Gibson's list, bet he could get all of them to work for him, maybe the devil all ready does.
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is that you NAILED it. Very well done - had me cracking up throughout.
ReplyDeleteI'd go and see them all Laurie, I think Mel may have gone for a slightly more Jewish cast though.
ReplyDeleteBAHAHA. This is perfect. Dead on, I say.
ReplyDeleteNeil, Grimm, Peter and Jen - Thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteOh this was hilarious, especially the Mel Gibson one! Too, too funny!
ReplyDeleteAllen - Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteMan, I was sure Joe Pesci was dead. Maybe it's just that he hasn't made an actual movie in this century. I could kinda see him in dual roles. He could play Bilbo and Gollum. Twice the Oscar buzz!
ReplyDeletecould we get a write-in thing going on Mel's version? Is there a part for Mary Magdalene
ReplyDeletePoker Boss - I need to do a Scorsese one:
ReplyDeleteBilbo: Sharon Stone
Gandalf: Robert DeNiro
Gollum: Joe Pesci
Lorna - Perhaps she could be the all-knowing narrator.
