My write-in: Eric Cartman in a tu-tu suspended from a pole.

and XP should look like cheezy-poofs

[wolfger]

Hell yes I want some XP poofs!

[stonecolddevin]

best. reply. EVER.

[Fairy Nuff]

What, I get no mention? Geez. What's a fairy got to do these days to get a gig? Strap on wings, flutter around some kid's window and tell him to wish real hard he could fly?

Bah. That's how I lost my last job. Stupid kids. They're not supposed to jump, it's just a metaphor.

grumble.

[Unanimous Monk]

They're not supposed to jump, it's just a metaphor.

This has been bugging me for a day now. I know I've heard that line somewhere before, but I can't think of where.

[merlyn]

Clearly, by the mascot of the SQL Fairy Project. Warning, NSFW, if you work somewhere where you can't use the word "fairy". :)

[lin0]

Definitely, Christina Ricci! Not only for her work as Wednesday Addams in the Addams Family but also for her work as Kat in Casper.

[TStanley]

I always liked her in the movie "Sleepy Hollow"

[arkturuz]

Vote Fairy? Eva Green, of course :-)

[apotheon]

I disagree that she'd be appropriate for that role. I upvoted you anyway, though, for the link.

[Andrew_Levenson]

Christopher Walken ... Himself: "I think... that we should, maybe, just maybe... have us a liiiittle vote here, wouldn't you say?

[tbone1]

Look, we're talking perlmonks here! It would have to be CGI, right?

Right?!?!

[Smaug]

Joe Black: Should you choose to test my resolve in this matter, you will be facing a finality beyond your comprehension, and you will not be counting days, or months, or years, but millenniums in a place with no doors.

Rewritten as:
Joe Black: Should you choose not to read the manual, you will be facing -- votes. Not for days, or months, or years, or millenniums but for as long at the SuperSearch exits and the NodeReaper sleeps......

In fact, that's a good point. Joe black would do better as the NodeReaper!
Now where do I retract my vote?

[rhesa]

As long as merlyn is played by Sean Connery, I could care less who's the fairy :)

[gam3]

Do you think Sean is suave enough? It might be that Merlyn would have to play himself.

[kwaping]

Another CGI voter here. I've always pictured the vote fairy as a Tinkerbell-type. Not very creative of me, now that I think about it.

My favorite fairy is still the Paycheck Fairy though. :) I leave my timesheet on her desk and she turns it into money overnight - woo!

[marto]

None of the above, Kylie as the Green Fairy in Moulin Rouge would be perfect :)

[stonecolddevin]

Mother of God. marto, it's those kinds of thoughts that makes 19 year old males such as myself want to wake up in the morning :-)

[starX]

The absinthe fairy is cute and all, and who doesn't like a visit from her every now and again, but those of us who are closer to 29 appreciate the mature subtlety that Helena Bonham Carter brings. I'm kind of sorry to admit it, but that woman is damn fine whether she's playing a Shakespearean countess, a suicide girl, an ape, or a corpse.

[Popcorn Dave]

Has to be Christina Ricci, if for no other reason than her running around "waking the dead". :)

[margulies]

Arnold Schwarzenegger: "Hasta La Vista, node"

Ned Flanders: "Give me that lil' XP"

and so on....

[creamygoodness]

CGI?

I'm thinking an animated JAPH.

[Anonymous Monk]

The real Wednesday was of course played by Lisa Loring.

[jonadab]

If Josephine Hull can't pull off the role, nobody can. I know of no better actress. The only thing is, we need time-travel capability to fetch her. Will that be a problem?

[talexb]

Definitely Ned Flanders for the Vote Fairy, but also definitely Arnold SchwarZenegger as He Who Must Not Be Named.

[swampyankee]

While you're casting PerlMonks: The Motion Picture, I think you should consider who is to portray the Hand of Fate, vroom and the other various gods, many of the more important denizens (soon-to-be Master of the World -- possibly she would be adequate -- , planetscape, merlyn, brian_d_foy, chromatic, ovid,…), and The Nameless One. We could easily end up with a larger cast than a Cecil B DeMille epic.

[blue_cowdawg]

Colin Mockery! (sp?) He's the proper vote fairy! :-D

[jdalbec]

Colin Mochrie

[blazar]

Winona Ryder ... Lydia

PS: funny, I was talking about ellipses just the other day!

[Smaug]

Yes!! I loved Beetlejuice! And what's more, she can fly!

_{...and she's hot!}

[swampyankee]

My write-in is for Helen Mirren as Titania, Queen of Fairies from Midsummer Night's Dream

[jdalbec]

Of the given options I chose Alice Krige, but my first inclination was to choose Bryce Dallas Howard.

[webfiend]

I was thinking of Wallace and Gromit, but they might be too busy these days.

[robot_tourist]

Who cares about Joe Black? Jack Black FTW!

[bassplayer]

I always kind of pictured the vote fairy as the Nerve-Ending Fairy from Ren and Stimpy, which is disturbing, I know.

[wolfger]

Helena Bonham Carter .... Corpse Bride
Claymation

Those are redundant choices. The Corpse Bride was claymation. Unless you mean "other claymation", in which case "other actor/actress/role" is conspicuously missing.

[shenme]

Yes, CGI is definitely the answer, to get us the only one magic enough - Glinda the Good Witch. Of course, Harpo would be a great stand-in. It's not only NodeReaper that gets indigestion from reapable nodes!

[stonecolddevin]

Ahnold.

"GET DOOOOOOOWWWN!!!!!" -KABOOM-

[alandev]

Carrie-Anne Moss .... Trinity

[stonecolddevin]

I like that choice, but only if she gets all the guns she had in the Matrix.

And she can't have sex in the movie with Keanu Reeves, either.

[Alien]

Arnold ... Mr. Olympia ... terminating node !

[alandev]

prefer Node Reaper as arnold in terminator !!

[alpha]

CGI

[suaveant]

What about Rhea PERLman... HA... HAHA.... MUAHAHAHAHAHAH!

[mr_mischief]

Bryce Dallas Howard -- The Lady in the Water (also starred in The Village)

[Tux]

John Cleese would get my vote
