BoC: The Movie 33 1/3: Die Darkman Die

The problem with the San Jose Sharks is that they're under the mistaken impression that their life is a drama when it's really a comedy.  Their whole team is ridiculous and they always manage to lose in the most comical fashions; it's like every season is a season of Blackadder.  To acknowledge that I tried to cast mostly comedic characters for our San Jose part of the movie, which can be seen below.

Tkthingsjoethornton_medium


The role of Joe Thornton will be played by Jason Segel

This casting decision is pretty perfect.  Both are big guys who are unexpectedly sensitive and both love puppets.  I can just imagine Jason Segel futilely trying to make toast before giving up in frustration.  They have the same type of beard, their dicks look the same, it's a perfect call!

I was also thinking that David Carradine would be a perfect casting call since he and Thornton know a lot about choking but that idea died a few months ago.

Animalatraction_medium

The role of Patrick Marleau will be played by Bob Newhart

"Hey, um, Joe, I was doing some thinking and, I, uh, kind of thought, well what I mean is, you should, what I'm trying to say is, uh... the puck.  You should, you should pass me the puck."

(As an aside, how awesome is that dog?  He has a more natural smile than Marleau.  I like to think that dog is smooth as hell and constantly tries to make Marleau look good but Marleau always fucks it up because he's awkward.)

Star-divide

Todd_mclellan2_medium

The role of Todd McLellan will be played by Andy Serkis

They have the same look and both have that look in their eyes that let you know they're dicks.  Plus all the nerds in San Jose would probably cum in their pants if someone from Lord of the Rings was their coach.

Snapshot_vlasic_medium

The role of Marc-Edouard Vlasic will be played by Nick Jonas

I know they don't look the same age but we can make Nick Jonas look a little younger to play the part.

Nhl_star_game_red_carpet_arrivals_yrpadhs76wxl_medium

The role of Devin Setoguchi will be played by Ken Watanabe

In Hollywood, all Asian guys are played by Ken Watanabe.

Nabokov_smilingfan_thumb225_medium

The role of Evgeni Nabokov will be played by John Hodgman

The playoffs will be played by Justin Long.

Rob_blake_-_1_-_norris_trophy_medium

The role of Rob Blake would be played by Michael Berryman

Who better to play an inhuman monster than an inhuman monster?

3237410997_4de728e02b_medium

The role of Joe Pavelski will be played by Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel

Joe Pavelski: McLellan really speaks to me, the average Joe six-tooth.

Ryane Clowe: When did you get another tooth?

Pavelski: The sidewalk.

Danboyle_1_medium

The role of Dan Boyle will be played by Danny Huston

Is it just me or does Dan Boyle kind of look like a dick?  I bet he's really an asshole, just like Danny Huston.  I think.  I don't know, maybe they're both good guys but they look like assholes to me.

Also, during the last Kings-Sharks game Jimmy Fox said the following: "If you added another 6 inches to Dan Boyle, and removed their jerseys, and had them stand next to each other, you would have trouble telling him and Drew Doughty apart."  Umm, what the hell are you trying to say, Jimmy?

Tn2_ken_watanabe_4_medium

The role of Mike Chen will be played by Ken Watanabe

See?  All Asian guys are played by Ken Watanabe.

Kiff_medium

The role of Megalodon will be played by Kiff Kroker

Let's see, a mincing little gaywad that loves Asian chicks?  Sounds about right.

their dicks look the same

Why you know what Thorntons dick looks like scares me a little. Otherwise, perfect match!

I like to think that dog is smooth as hell and constantly tries to make Marleau look good but Marleau always fucks it up because he’s awkward.

HAHAHA! The dog TOTALLY looks like the master in that photo! Thats hilarious!

Well, Mike Chen brought up Marleau’s unibrow yesterday, and I compiled these two images, but yeah, it’s really just about their one feature:

The second one is way too angry to be Marleau.

I think Ernie’s blank stare and unibrow fits quite well for Patty.

Pat Marleau/Bob Newhart is awesome. I’m pretty sure Bob’s awkwardness is played for comedic effect, where Marleau’s is just painful (like mine). Newhart was the original Michael Cera.

Oh and my roommate complained that I didn’t cast him with the Ducks. (This is in spite of the fact that he’s never commented on here and never reads the site because, and I quote, "I’m not a fucking loser.") So you should all know that my roommate is Sean William Scott’s long lost twin in both appearance and attitude.

Actually, all roles go to John Cho now. Ken Watanabe is so five years ago.

Case in point: 30-year-old Chinese dude Cho is supposed to play 20-year-old Japanese dude Sulu in Star Trek. I think Patrick Stewart just should have done every role in that movie.

but major pet peeve is when someone tries to get me to fill out those damn little boxes saying what I am. or saying what my boys are. we are in fucking 2010 now and they still don’t understand that you could fit in more than one damn box or two.

another pet peeve is when someone tells me “oh you’re just a white girl” … yeah … let me tell my born and raised Guatemalan dad that. I’m sure he’ll be thrilled with that comment. You know how calm hispanic men are. (ha!)

While I was driving to work I was thinking of Patty and that dog at a park. That dog would go up to a bunch of hot chicks and bark and wag his tail and be all adorable, and then when the girls fawned over him Patty would walk up and say, “Uh, hey, how you girls doing?” and then the girls would way walk away and the dog would look at Patty with contempt.

It’s funny in my head.

by RudyKelly on Jan 14, 2010 2:04 PM PST up reply actions  

Patty would shrug his unibrow in apathy and go home. But then he’d go to work and score a bunch of goals!

by Mike Chen on Jan 14, 2010 2:24 PM PST up reply actions  

That is exactly how it would go down. Next episode, he’s walking by the beach and they meet a group of bikini girls. The pup rolls over fetchingly and the girls all start a chorus of “AwwWWWWWwww!” and crouch down to pet him. Marleau stands by awkwardly for a full minute and then ventures, “Uh, wow, I wish I could um, get a belly rub too” and then the girls cry “Ew!” and flee. Cute Dog puts his paws over his eyes and groans, and the soundtrack goes waah-waaaaa.

The weird thing is that I know a dog that looks exactly like him. It’s hard to walk him because people are always stopping their cars and crossing the street to fawn and gush. He loves being picked up and cuddled by girls, and they call him ‘Rico Suave.’

As you all know The Ducks blue line is suffering pretty badly.  Wiz being banished to the Islanders really doesn't help much.  What I'm about to suggest is crazy, probably not legal, and absolutely absurd.  But desperate times call for desperate measures.   

That is a picture of my girlfriend's dog, Mia.  And the holder of that hockey stick is me.  Every once in awhile I'll practice stick handling in my kitchen with a small tennis ball.  The other day, this interested Mia and she sort of made a game out of it.  I try to stick handle around her and she trys to get the ball.  At first this was no challenge to me, but then the little bastard started getting really good.  So, here's my solution:  

The Ducks sign Mia to a 3 year entry level contract.  She can't stick handle, check, pass, shoot, has no concept of what team she's on, and has pretty shitty cardio.  But from a team that once employed the likes of Ryan Whitney and Steve Eminger, this is all easily forgivable.  On the up side, she'll never take a penalty....  Unless they add biting or pissing on the ice to the NHL rule book.  She's relentless....  Unless the opponents all bring bacon which they use as a distraction.
