I'm going to stay diplomatic and out of trouble and just cast Linda.

In G-World...Christina Hendricks, because WTF not. It's my movie. 😃

In real life...Mira Sorvino.

I got nothing, but I can picture it set in a mom n pop hardware store with idiot customers who ask questions, then insist you are wrong when they don’t like/understand the answer

That premise with the lead being a "C list internet provocateur" would make a great sitcom especially with idiot and woke customers to be the butt of jokes. I think you're on to something by making it a sitcom instead of a documentary

It’s already been done with Clerks, though.

If you haven’t watched it, you should.

Never heard of it. Will have to check it out

Thx

G would be played by Donald Sutherland (crazy smart and a bit smarmy).

Linda would be played by her alter ego Linda Lovelace in the sexy spoiler role. 🍅

Whimsicalmama would be played by one of those hippie chicks on LSD picking butterflies out of the air in SF in the late 60's at a J. Geils show at Bill Graham's Carousel Ballroom!

Her role in this docu-drama to be disclosed later.

I still have a rough outline for a book, titled Like, Share, or Comment. The plot revolves around a regular guy who accidentally creates a social media empire. Hilarity and mayhem ensues. The main character is loosely based on our pal Glen and is named Hardley Davidson.

That's all I've got, if anyone wants to flesh it out, have at it.

We have to get either Sandra Bullock or Jennifer Garner to play the part of Lisa Silipo.

And Jennifer Jeram Lamley could only be played by Reese Witherspoon

Jason Bateman for the part of AJ

Nathan Fillion for Bob (on Facebook Rob)

You're really good at casting, Linda!

Glen would be played by either Sir Alec Guinness or Billy Bob Thornton. Can’t decide.

Linda would be played by Gina Carano (sp?)

Ooh la la on who plays me!

And Billy Bob Thornton is an inspired choice!

Antony Blinken can play one of those idiot customers who doesn't know what an Allen wrench is. He has lots of experience being clueless and waaaay over his head. Maybe Gibbs can play you, and you can have some satisfaction head-slapping him. Linda could be Glenda the good witch who can rescue you from being totally frustrated by idiots like Blinkie.

Yep, I vote George Carlin for Glen. I'm right there with whimsicalmama picking butterflies out of the air in SF, only it'd be at an Allman Bros. show at the Fillmore. Or maybe the Cow Palace. Linda IS Linda Lovelace, but thoroughly vindicated and with wealth in hand. JH, YOU are played by Donald Sutherland. Bob (Facebook Bob) is played by Billy Bob. AJ is played by Jack Black in his School of Rock persona. Elizabeth is played by Jamie Lee Curtis, and takes no shit from ANYone. That's all I got for now!

All I have is George Carlin would have perfect playing your character, G

I was thinking George Carlin for G.... you get the same unique interpretation of what is patently obvious and you don't have to change the monograms
