Ok the point of this thread, is to take a really good movie, and ruin it, by changing the actors/actresses with someone else that is at least knowable, and explain the hilarity of that change, screwing up the movie, and therefor our lives. Shall we begin?
Ill start with the 80s classic, The Labyrinth. Such an awesome movie, and even people that cant stand musicals, enjoys how cool this film was. But I wonder......who could I strategically replace, that would turn this otherwise great film, into a Cleveland Steamer? Why, the Goblin King of course! David Bowie did a really good job playing this roll, even if his package almost slaps you in the face at times. So Ill change Bowie, with..........ready?.............. Axel Rose! Imagine ALL the songs, instead of being sang the Bowie way, were instead sang, the Axel Rose way!
Instead of smooth, and somewhat hypnotic sounds, itd be ear piercingly high screeches that just go on and on way too long! leaving the poor girl standing awkwardly waiting for her moment! And worst yet! When hes not making ones ears bleed, he would be incredibly abusive to the other members of the movie and for no reason at all! Claiming that this is a great film, because HE was there, and that everyone is pulling down the awesomeness of the Labyrinth, simply for not being as awesome as he is! And the smoking, dear GOD the smoking just wouldnt stop! The poor girl would be asking where her brother was, and would barely be able to ask in between all the coughing.
So think of that disaster folks. In stead of
*bowie version* Dance the magic dance, jump magic jump!
Youd get
*screechy high pitched Axel rose version*
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAA AAAA YAAAAAAAAAANCEEeeeeeee..........*inhale* ME-YAWGIK DAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNCEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.*middle fingers and backhands*
So cmon DAKKA!!! Wow me with your movie mastery of ruiningness. I havnt been incredibly impressed with your efforts of late, too little thought, and too much wanting to try and sound cool. Reach into your brains, swap out good actors with terrible ones, a super sexy seductress in a nice romance, with Sandra Bernhard. And for the love of all things holy, explain why it would be such a bad idea, in what ways would it ruin the movie. Ill punch everyone in the neck if you just say "this guy" give it some thought, let the creativity come out for once! NOW GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me and my brother go to friends houses sometimes and we start commentating during it. I mean its not the useless cruddy ones but the Hilarious where everyone pauses the movie because they are laughing from our commentary.
From whom are unforgiven we bring the mercy of war.
It is the 3rd Millennium. For more than a hundred months Games Workshop has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Nottingham. It is the foremost of wargames by the will of the neckbeards, and master of a million tabletops by the might of their inexhaustible wallets. It is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with business strategies from the early Industrial Revolution Age. It is the Carrion Lord of the wargaming scene for whom a thousand veteran players are sacrificed every day, so that it may never truly die. Yet even in its deathless state, GW continues its eternal vigilance. Mighty battleforce starter-sets cross the online-store-infested miasma of the internet, the only route between distant countries, their way lit by a draconian retail trade-agreement, the legal manifestation of the GW's will. Vast armies of lawyers give battle in GW's name on uncounted websites. Greatest amongst its soldiers are the Guardians of the IP, the Legal Team, bio-engineered super-donkey-caves. Their comrades in arms are legion: the writing team and countless untested rulebooks, the ever vigilant redshirts, and the writers of White Dwarf, to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from other games, their own incompetence, Based Chinaman - and worse. To support Games Workshop in such times is to spend untold billions. It is to support the cruelest and most dickish company imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of sales discounts and Warhammer Fantasy Battle, for so much has been dropped, never to be re-published again. Forget the promise of cheaper digital content and caring about the fanbase, for in the GW HQ there is only profit-seeking, Space Marines and Sigmarines. There is no fun amongst the hobby shops, only an eternity of raging and spending, and the laughter of former employees who left GW to join better companies.
You guys suck. I honestly cant tell, if you HONESTLY dont get the point of this thread, or your trolling. Either way, how bout you re-read the guide lines and try again ya?
Having a little think I can imagine a silly one would be replacing the guy who plays Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings films with Jack Sparrow-styled Johnny Depp. Instead of a very serious and badass wizard you have a very nervous, humerous and quite cowardly wizard who can barely do anything besides saving himself
That made me crack a smile, just thinking of a bumbling Gandolf is comic gold. Instead of riding a horse down that big ass hill, to go head long into an Orc army, he takes one step, and trips, tumbling all the way down the mounting, with such racket that it stops the battle in its tracks, as EVERYONE watches the poor wizardly bashing every rock on the way down.
How about weird Al playing yoda in the original Star Wars trilogy.
I was going to suggest Carrot Top playing Anakin in II and III, but they ruined them without him.
And my last would be Sean Connery playing Borat.

"Little angel go away
Come again some other day
The devil has my ear today
I'll never hear a word you say" Weak and Powerless - APC
Ive only ever watched a few minutes of Borat, but from that, I can tell you that Sean Connery would make that movie so much better to watch, and Id probably laugh more as well!
Really? Your fething trolling for sure now. Richard Harris, or Chris Tucker would of made me laugh.......
Not trolling, at least not intentionally. Just trying to come up with ones that make me laugh and ruin good movies, for example Michael Jackson replacing the King in The King and I, him with that many children, combined with his voice and dancing, you couldn't take a king like that seriously.
Bruins fan till the end.
Never assume anything, it will only make an ass of you and me.

I was thinking more along the lines of Ricky Gervais.
Nah, everyone knows that in a biographical film you are either played by Robert Lindsey or Hugh Grant and Hugh Grant would be funnier

Hmmmm, if only i had seen this last night at work! but let me at least add a small off the top of my head addition, I shall put on my thinking cap and discuss again later....
Replacing the lead role in 80's Horror 'Chucky' with none other than Chuck Norris! on the plus side EVERYONE would die, no chance! on the minus side, the movie would be over in scant seconds with no dialogue :-(
I'll be back.....
