This does not seem right. Someone should stop this from happening.

the dude can act and all

but for my money, they should've given anthony kiedis a shot

5/18/2007 9:02:49 AM

Guy Pearce for my money. Elijah Wood will always carry the stigma of being kidlike.

5/18/2007 9:06:49 AM

hell yeah, guy pearce is the shit.

5/18/2007 12:53:16 PM

who the hell is Iggy Pop?

5/18/2007 1:26:43 PM

put it this way

you know hes got to suck if they picked elijah wood to play him

5/18/2007 1:27:28 PM

I thought he did just fine for frodo.

5/18/2007 1:34:52 PM

Iggy Pop is this guy:

5/18/2007 1:46:23 PM

Jared Leto would be my first choice for that role, but he's not quite ugly enough.

5/18/2007 1:54:14 PM

Iggy and the Stooges are amazing, everyone has forgotten what good music is like with all this Nickelback, lil scrappy bullshit.

5/18/2007 2:00:21 PM

this makes negative sense

5/18/2007 2:37:02 PM

goddammit.

goddammit.

Is Iggy Pop dead or something? Why doesn't he just play himself?

5/18/2007 2:51:56 PM

when i asked who iggy pop was, posting a picture of him isn't exactly telling me anything.

5/18/2007 3:14:45 PM

Johnny Cash and John Nash should have played themselves too.

and Queen Elizabeth and Tony Blair.

you're already on the internet. use it.

5/18/2007 3:18:24 PM

its easier for someone who knows who he is to post "he's a douchebag" rather than me googling and coming up with tons of misinformed information from random fan-sites.

and of course there is this other thing...

you could just write that and spend more time typing it then saying who this person was in 3 words or less.

hes an old school punk rock singer

he still performs with his group, Iggy Pop and the Stooges

when you hear him talk, he sounds like he has done his fair share of desginer drugs in his lifetime

much like Keith Richards

I personally dont think Elijah Wood looks anything like Iggy Pop...Pop's face is long and thin, while Wood's is round

5/18/2007 3:27:28 PM

woods is always going to be the good son in my eyes.

5/18/2007 3:30:36 PM

5/18/2007 3:52:32 PM

is he playing him during the 60's b/c if so Wood is a fine choice. Iggy looked like he was 12.

also Kiedis is way to big

also how do you not know who Iggy Pop is? Maybe Golovko was in a comma for his entire life.

5/18/2007 3:56:17 PM

Iggy Pop was around during the weird transition period between traditional classic rock and punk rock. His sound was much more guteral and his midset was most everything out in music was crap up to that point, and he wanted to put more balls into his music.

Help, I'm trapped in a punctuation mark!

5/18/2007 7:02:54 PM

aha i've always thought iggy pop looked like he could be anthony kiedis' dad

5/18/2007 7:36:04 PM

I think he played nona mecklenburg's dad in Pete and Pete

5/19/2007 12:08:34 AM

he did play that role

and he was a Vorta on Deep Space Nine

5/19/2007 12:10:56 AM

Not only that, in his first appearance as Mr. Mecklenburg, he calls someone (Endless Mike, I think) a "stooge."
