Who would you like to have played in the Movie?
Shakesthecoffecan:
Yesterday while allowing my tangential mind to fire randomly it occurred to me how well suited our own Meryl would have been in the roll of Linda Higgins in the film version of Brokeback Mountain, had the gift shop proprietor made it into the scrip.
Then I got to thinking, having seen the movie so many time, which one of the rolls would you have loved to try on yourself? For me, I would love to have played the "Hundred Thousand Dollar Tractors/Shit like that" Bartender when Jack meets Lureen.
I could just see myself wiping that glass clean and responding to Jack/Jakes question "You know who that girl is?" with a firm: "She's married to the owner, you want to go back to my place for a drink?"
;D :laugh: :D ;)
Monika:
Good one, Tru :laugh:
I have to think about this :D

Our minds think alike. That's the first role I thought of for myself! :laugh:
There's also the "Ever try calf ropin'?" bartender, but I think I'd rather be the "Is that the pissant that used to ride the bulls?" farmer? :laugh:

Great topic, Tru.
I think it would be fun to play the Basque.
Rouxb seems to agree with me:
Meryl:
I think your imagining me as Linda Higgins is an inspired choice, Truman! I know I could have aced that role. ;D
If we're talking fantasy, then I'd choose Alma to play. If we're talking reality, and someone that actually appeared in the movie, it's a toss-up between Monroe's assistant at the grocery when Ennis breezes in with the girls in tow and the tattooed lady dancing in the Wolf Ears bar when Ennis met Cassie. 8)
And I can totally see you as the Tractors/Shit Like That bartender! :D
