I like Demetri Martin

but that sounds like kind of strange casting to me. I suggest Carrot Top to play Billy Beane.

Not really

Demetri’s always wanted to tackle more serious roles. Catch him in August in Ang Lee’s new film Taking Woodstock

Billy Beane

is being played by Brad Pitt. No, that’s not a joke. Although I suppose it makes sense for his younger years as a ballplayer.

Honestly

I get Brad Pitt playing Beane, I don’t get Demitri Martin though. Its rare to see a young comedian being cast as anything but somebody funny or awkward in movies. Good for him though i guess if he can pull it off. I can just see him in a scouts meeting doing one of his silly graphs or “equations” that he does on his tv show.

Yep

After I see Martin is going to be Depo, it makes me question how “real” this movie is going to be compared to the book. I am looking forward to some of Martin’s famous graphs though.

Carrot Top?

Have you seen Charman of the Board? ; )

No

I forget what Casino I was staying in at Vegas, I think it was Mandalay Bay, it had posters of Carrot Top everywhere. I would get physically ill if I looked at them.

Yeah

I think I remember seeing them all over the walls of that moving walkway between luxor and excalibur.
All three of those casinos owned by the same peeps tho’ so its possible if you seen em in one, they are in the other two…
