Who's playing you in a Woot movie?

Nov 22, 2011 2:12 AM

So this all got started about a week ago, when I somehow proposed the idea for a movie heavily involving deals.woot, and it kinda snowballed into a decent little thread-jacking, so I want to expand on the idea and make it available for everyone to participate in, since not many people probably looked at the question where the comment was originally posted.

Here's the proposal (http://deals.woot.com/questions/comment/a409844a-0e5a-406d-b1f3-937b643cf26f) and my suggestions for actors to play certain members of our Woot community below it, but there are still many who haven't been included. So weigh in. If there were ever a movie based around the Woot community and those involved in it, who would play you and why?

Monty, but he has to grow a goatee

Sorry @mkentosh, Monte will be a character in the film, as will Mortimer. I believe that the monkey from Hangover Part II will be playing them both (but we will only pay for one acting part, saving a fortune in actor's salaries)

I'd be played by Chuck Norris. Mainly because my beard is so ridiculous right now.

I think I was told I had to be played by a young Clint Eastwood... I have to say that I'm flattered and if you don't like it, I just have one question: Do you feel lucky, punk!? Well, do ya'?

Mariska Hargitay from Law and Order SVU. I don't look anything like her, but I wish I did.

Definitely Keanu Reeves - I want everyone to wonder, "WTH? Why is that guy still around?"

@capguncowboy: You don't HAVE to be played by Clint Eastwood, I just felt that, based on your username and Eastwood's legend of being a western star simply made it the perfect sync up. Feel free to change it. Also, no, I don't feel that lucky.

I would definitely be played by a young Home Alone 3 c:

If we're going for realism it'd have to be Seth Green.
If we're just going for fun, I'd pick Robert Downey, Jr., since that guy can play anybody and more work might help keep him out of trouble.

Steve Buscemi, because why would I be lucky enough to be played by someone that's a step up physiologically. A step down would just be par for the course. Besides, he's frickin' hysterical.

@thunderthighs: :D. For some reason the mental image of you working around the woot offices in a shower cap with a mop just seemed right.

@gmwhit: So you're saying you'd like to be played by Liz Taylor playing
Albert Einstein? Interesting...

@woothulhu: Rick Deckard is the only acceptable answer. The scene where Deckard takes on @WootBot will go down in cinematic history.

I used to never have an answer for these questions. Now, thanks to a friend of mine: Kristen Schaal.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
