 | | Domdaniel: <Jess> Only way to do a Fischer movie is to treat him like Dylan in <I'm Not There>. DeNiro as the crazy old fart, Mickey Rourke as the middle-aged comeback kid in Sveti Stefan, um, Cate Blanchett as world champ and a special effect as the wonderboy. With Jeremy Irons as Spassky, Rutger Hauer as Max Euwe, Ben Kingsley as Harry Golombek, and Vivian Wu as the oriental love interest. |

 | | Domdaniel: Vital factoid: only one person has acted in both a Greenaway film and a Cronenberg film. Clue: she was a member of Blondie as well. |

"The German Toiletships Alpdrucken and Kissenbuch were handed their asses ('Ach! Mein Arsch!') after a short engagement in the desert with a pocket catamaran crewed by clones of Princess Di. Scheisse happens." - *Straight Flush*: Nitrates, from Seamen to Fertilizer in WW2
- *The Guano Bomb*: Emus at 3 o'clock

| Sep-12-08 | | Open Defence: <DeNiro as the crazy old fart> Korchnoi you mean... I think De Niro would be a fanstastic Korchnoi.... Leonardo Di Caprio can play Carlsen....
we have to get a bearded Sardar to play Anand or else people will not believe he is Indian.... Teimour Radjabov can be played by Daniel Radcliffe |
|
| Sep-12-08 | | Open Defence: Debbie Harry |
|
Sep-12-08
 | | Domdaniel: <Deffi> 100% ... Debbie Harry was in both <Videodrome> and <The Tulse Luper Suitcases>. Is Macaulay Culkin too old to play the 1970s Karpov? I like maybe Gene Hackman as Korchnoi. Maybe it should have a thriller plot -- spies, spooks, assassins and whatnot: <Looking for Bobby Fischer to Terminate him with Extreme Prejudice>. Or simply <Pasadena Jailhouse Rock>? |
|
| Sep-12-08 | | Open Defence: <Gene Hackman> Effim Geller |
|
Sep-12-08
 | | Domdaniel: <Geller> ... perfect. And Clint Eastwood for Botvinnik? |
|
| Sep-12-08 | | Open Defence: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1269340... a guy called Peter Weller acted in an 80s action film called Robocop... but he has Mikhail Mosievich's dress sense :) |
|
Sep-12-08
 | | Domdaniel: <Deffi> I actually met Weller - he was in Naked Lunch as well as Robocop. Another perfect choice: just add a severe haircut. Any role for Woody Allen, you think? |
|
| Sep-12-08 | | Open Defence: thats a tough one... most of the players around then were tall and rather quiet |
|
| Sep-12-08 | | Open Defence: maybe a young Lev Polugaevsky ? |
|
Sep-12-08
 | | Domdaniel: Yeah, there are stories about Polu losing his analysis notebooks and dashing around in a neurotic frenzy ... "Oy, my Variation!" Might be advisable to neuter old Woody first, just in case. |
|
| Sep-12-08 | | Open Defence: <Might be advisable to neuter old Woody first, just in case.
> or cast <Mrs Alekhine> in there too |
|
| Sep-12-08 | | Boomie: <Any role for Woody Allen, you think?> Oy veh, that's our Reshevsky! |
|
| Sep-12-08 | | Red October: how could I forget about Sammy...
|
|
Sep-12-08
 | | Domdaniel: Mrs Alekhine is a tad too mature for him, I think. I'd watch any daughters though. |
|
| Sep-12-08 | | Boomie: We've got the wrong writer, the wrong actors, the wrong director...where did we go right? |
|
| Sep-12-08 | | Red October: Prisoners of love...
Blue skies above.... |
|
| Sep-12-08 | | Boomie: Gonna take Taimonov. Gonna take Bent. Then I'm gonna get Tiger and kick him in the pants. |
|
| Sep-12-08 | | Red October: Streisand for Vera Menchik ? |
|
Sep-12-08
 | | Domdaniel: Reshevsky was my first thought: right city, right ethnicity, wrong shape. But two out of three ain't bad. Here's a dreadful thought: Woody plays Nimzo. It should appeal to his intellectual vanity. "Take My System and Run" ... or maybe "The Purple Prose of Nimzo" ..? Scuse me while I auto-flagellate. |
|
Sep-12-08
 | | Domdaniel: Streisand for Bobby's girlfriend. Ronald Reagan for Vera Menchik. |
|
Sep-13-08
 | | jessicafischerqueen: Wheeee!
OK everyone who loves playing the English Opening raise up your tea cup |
|
| Sep-13-08 | | achieve: Notched up another WIN, eh?
Well, what to say, really... |
