Apropos of the fact that Lost in Showbiz sat through an entire Colin Farrell movie last night - this is what we call a "news peg" - you are hereby invited to participate in a time-wasting Monday afternoon game.
The majestic addition to the Farrell oeuvre was called The Recruit, and saw Colin cast as a CIA agent. Seriously. Farrell at the Agency: insert your snarky joke about why no one foresaw 9/11 here.
The game, then, aims to identify the most hilariously inappropriate casting in movie history. Let's call it Casting Directors on Crack.
I shall kick off with something from the minor leagues - namely, Nicole Kidman really inhabiting the role of a brain surgeon in Days of Thunder. I will then challenge anyone - ANY LIVING SOUL - to top the casting of Denise Richards as a nuclear physicist in The World Is Not Enough.
Players, good luck to you all.
