From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michael Snow was unwise enough to say on the mailing list:

Because of my work on The Wikipedia Signpost, somebody once playfully suggested that I should be in charge of "Wikipedia: The Movie". I don't anticipate this happening any time soon, as it would take a lot more skills than mine to pull off. But since it's awards season for the film industry, I thought I'd offer for your enjoyment part of the lineup I would pick to star in this film.

He retained the wisdom to include the following disclaimer:

Lest any of the subjects be offended by my choices, I'm not necessarily saying you look like these people. My focus was on picking capable actors who could be made to look more or less like you. This is for entertainment value only. However, I'm happy to entertain ideas for suggested replacements and additional members of the cast. But keep in mind that the only way to ensure you will be played by the actor of your choice is to foot the bill for that actor's salary.

[edit] Petty quibbling

I prefer Jason Isaacs, including the overwhelming hubris. OTOH, if that involves paying his salary ... - David Gerard 15:37, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This movie needs an antagonist

Who should we get to play Willy on Wheels? He's the obvious choice for the main antagonist... CameoAppearance 00:17, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

In a world... where nothing was what it seems... where nothing meant anything... where anyone could say anything about anybody... where words themselves lost all meaning... one man stood alone... and said NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!... he was banned.
