And you now know what most of us look like.  That brings us to the fun part:  In <em>Bloggernacle, The Movie<\/em>, who will be the actors and actresses playing whom?<!--more-->  The data points that most people will probably be going from include <a href=\"http:\/\/timesandseasons.org\/wp\/index.php?p=1526\">pictures available at the last thread<\/a>, plus pictures from the bio&#8217;s on the sidebar.  <\/p>\n<p>And since this is my game, I&#8217;ll start with a suggestion:  <a href=\"http:\/\/imdb.com\/name\/nm0000450\/\">Phillip Seymour Hoffman <\/a>as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bobandlogan.com\/intro.html\">Bob Caswell<\/a>.  It&#8217;s not a perfect match &#8212; undoubtedly another reader has a better match idea &#8212; but Bob reminded me somewhat of PSH in his general look.  Plus, they both seem to have the innocent-exterior-concealing-a-devious-interior thing going on.  So my intuition is that PSH could do a pretty good Bob Caswell in <em>Bloggernacle, the Movie<\/em>.  (Compare <a href=\"http:\/\/imdb.com\/gallery\/ss\/0175880\/Ss\/0175880\/3?path=pgallery&#038;path_key=Hoffman,%20Philip%20Seymour\">PSH picture <\/a>with<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bobandlogan.com\/intro.html\"> Bob picture<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>But we can&#8217;t stop with Bob.  We need to cast Logan, Nate, me (gulp!), some co-bloggers, Bells, Rusty, and others (plus a host of people from <a href=\"http:\/\/rameumptom.blogspot.com\/\">some other blog<\/a>).  Plus, for that matter, anyone whose photo is publicly available on the bloggernacle.  (I don&#8217;t want to start invading privacy by bringing in photos they don&#8217;t want online).  <\/p>\n<p>Now I have a few additional ideas about casting (one person reminds me of <a href=\"http:\/\/imdb.com\/gallery\/mptv\/1029\/Mptv\/1029\/10877_0005.jpg?path=pgallery&#038;path_key=Streep,%20Meryl\">this actress<\/a>, for instance), but I&#8217;ll stop with my own quirky ideas for now, in order to preserve a (more or less) blank slate for others to make suggestions, comments, critiques.  We&#8217;re depending on your skills as movie buffs and bloggernaclites to help determine the best casting.
