Jack Nicholson as Daley is perfect. Jack would love that role.

Ray Liotta, as Henry Hill, is good for Rod. Not very smart or tough.

Al Pacino, as Michael Corleone in I, works for Madigan. Smarter, more ruthless than anyone.

The Haggar Twins from Hee-Haw for Watson and Cross. Really -- I'm a born-and-bred downstater, but what do these guys bring to the party?

Ving Rhames as Marcellus Wallace from Pulp Fiction for Emil. Tough, strong, but we all know what happened in the end (no pun intended).

How about Denzel Washington as Emil Jones? We might have to use makeup magic to make him look older but at least he'd be more handsome. lol!

Alec Baldwin should play all of the roles as it may bring back life to his acting career.

Does Carol Ronen count as a retired SpinSister? There is a lot to rotate, but that WTTW appearence is already in the International PR Don'ts HOF

Carol Ronen can play Rod and Rod can play Carol Ronen. Did you ever notice with the hair and all, they bear a very strange resemblance to each other ???

amy, nobody said it was off topic. Your hair trigger is at it again.

Amy — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 16:00:00 -0000

movie about Illinois politics, and whether women are on
the list is off topic?

how about the Attorney General of Ilinois is Lisa Madigan,
a woman. she's kinda factored into some of the Blago
drama, wouldn't you say?

or Carol M. Braun, whose fall from grace was dramatic.

ok, wait, maybe you're right....cause there are not enough
women in positions of leadership in this state. time to
add come next election.

Rich,

You have it backwards. Walken has clearly been imitating Madigan this whole time.

Word is that as a young man, he went to the 13th Ward Actors Studio.

Re: Question of the day

Rich Miller — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 15:11:34 -0000

problem, getting MJM to imitate Chris Walken would be much easier than getting him to pass a capital plan. So, please, don't ask the impossible.
