If you could be anyone in the novel....

[Rob]

If you could be any extra (by extra I mean part thats wouldn't be on screen for more than a few minutes) and maybe not act much at all who would you be?

For example, I'd love to be one of the few men creeping closer to the common with Ogilvy, I'd love to see my flesh burning off on screen.

[Bayne]

[glow=red,2,300]Absolutely anybody!
Anything to be in the film!
But if I got to choose...... maybe the guy who falls into the pit, or one of the martians exsanguination victims, or one of the people picked up by a tripod and tossed into the basket! Hmmm.... maybe one of the horde fleeing from London (Note to casting agents, I trudge really well!) [/glow]

[Demon Angel]

Hmm if I could be anyone of the characters... Hmm I would be... ...I would be THE RAVEN haha, I couldn't really think of a better part... it's short, it's black and it's gory. I mean really chewing up those dead and decaying martians. How simply morbid... Sounds like the part was made for me

[Tripod]

The soldier who shoots a Martian Fighting Machine!

Or I would like to be a Captain on a Dutch ship who is trying to get a good shot upon the Martians, in London.
Oh and Thunderchild (Johan) can be a crew member on my ship! Hahahaha!

Tripod

[Thunder Child]

I would like to play the drunk that the narrator passes when he enters Dead London ;D

Greetings,
Johan

Tripod: All Aboard!! ;D

[Thunder Child]

Come on guys, I think this is an interesting topic! Act crazy, or be serieus, it's up to you ;D

Johan

[David Faltskog]

Act Crazy...Boy is that an invitation to run riot!.

Anyway...I,d like to pay one of the three "Roughnecks" that try's to nick the pony and cart that the two ladies are using to escape from london and the martians...And the Narrator's brother comes to the rescue of.

Why?...Why not!.

B-B.

[EvilNerfherder]

The Captain of the 'Thunderchild'..looking all heroic and determined,ordering the attack only to be vapourised in a heroic and determined way(would need to get a major haircut though!).

[Colonel]

I would like to be an infantry man in a large-scale attack on a tripod (with obvious outcome...).

[Thunder Child]

Or maybe the man who's head is smacked against a tree by a Fighting Machine. It's a small role but you would leave an impression on the audience AND on the tree ;D ;D

Greetings,
Johan

[EvilNerfherder]

Can I be a dead horse?

[Poyks]

I'd be Snippy with his GDMFing trenches. With a cor blimey Dick Van Dyke cockney accent!

[Poyks]

haha I love the way the "*" appears on an innocent name like Dick. I wonder what happens if I write Sc*nthorpe!!!

[the Donal]

One of the martians!

Yes- your days would be numbered, but what a way to go! Stamping up and down England in bloody great machines settin-a-fire to things and folk!

I thought the previous board was even funnier in how it dealt with censoring. I had a post where Charles Dickens (still censored with an asterisk you'll notice), had the entire portion it thought was an obscene word replaced with 'thing' so it would say 'Charles thingyens'!

I guess the censor lacks the intelligence to match complete words rather than just strings of contiguous characters which it seems to do.
