Just another former infatuation junkie

There are all sorts of answers to this question. You have to find a person who fits the part, you have to learn to settle for something that isn’t quite what you imagined, you might get an actor who has an approach you hadn’t consider, yadda yadda…

Of course, when you’re shooting a film with a budget of roughly enough to buy everybody a Slurpee, casting is made difficult by the fact that this is the company your casting call will usually keep.

In our film, “DECLARED!” People at a bachelor party time travel to 1776, to Liberty hall, to the signing of thwe Declareation of Indipendence. The party people let a slinky down the steps of Libertyu hall, thus scaring the Declareation signers. The document is never signed, we never get our independence and Estonia takes over America in the 1800’s. The people at the bachelor party ahve to go back to 1776 again and fix things right.

There may be stunts involved for the actors, and some nudity, we don’t know yert. Salary ism a also an issue, we’ll let you klnow.

Oy.

I feel I should point out three things – and the spelling isn’t one of them, because that hardly needs pointing out.

1. Who brings a Slinky™ to a bachelor party?
2. Thomas Effing Jefferson is going to get scared by a Slinky™?
3. Either you’re going to have nudity or you aren’t. If you’re going to post looking for actors, you should definitely know “yert” what the case is going to be.
4. I place no confidence in someone who says “There may be stunts involved for the actors” to look after my safety. This is the kind of person who says, “We decided at the last minute it’d be really cool for you to leap out of the third story window to get away – but don’t worry, we put the mattress from Joe’s apartment down to break your fall.”

I know that’s actually four points, but given the typos of the ad I think I’m justified.

The only problem? I can’t help but admit that I would totally buy this movie from EZTakes.
