Ok thanks for all the replies. As far as archiving it electronically 
goes, go for it. I'll email both Rog and Director a full version 
without spelling mistakes.

So anyway, I gave Central Casting a call to see if I  could get 
answers to some of your questions. Here goes:

Luke Ford said:
>>Guy Pearce as Luke Ford
>Damn, he looks just like me. How did you know?

Heh, heh, heh, keep looking over your shoulder, Luke. Anyway, Casting
says:
"this was a classic case of Casters Lament. Let me explain, in porno
terms it would be `you want Peter North, you'll settle for Tommy Byron,
you get Randy West'. Here it was `you want Russell Crowe, you'll settle 
for Jack Thompson, you get Guy Pearce'".

Roger said
>Oh my GOD......I haven't laughed this fucking hard in weeks. I was on
>the floor rolling so hard, I haven't even had time to figure out why I
>ended up being played by a woman, but hey, as long as I get to kiss
>Kaitlyn who care?

OK, get up Roger, over to Central Casting:
"We wanted a comedian who could deliver the monologues. We first tested
with Denis Leary but he was way, way, WAY too cynical and mean-spirited
to play Rog. So who should visit him at the casting office but Janeane,
we thought `why not' and she fit, baby, she fit. She's sweet and fun
and not afraid to use the F-word. By the way the kiss was ad-libbed, in
the script she was just supposed to be starstruck when her idol Kaitlyn
walks in the store one day, but Janeane ups and plants one on Uma's lips
....and they're still going thirty seconds later! Woo-hoo!!!"

By the way one more review has made it to publicity:

Courtney Love as Nena Cherry
        "Say it ain't so Courtney. Another drug-addled floozie with
        bad spelling and worse grammar? Can you say `typecast'?" Spin

and to throw it open to rame readers I'm looking for reviews of the 
following, some of whom I can't capture the character of:

Gerard Depardieu as Patrick Ramenzapour
??? as Darklady
??? as X-Nico
??? as voyager
??? as Joey Markham
??? as The Imperator (is he still around? I'm thinking Alec Guiness as
        a ghostly apparition who pops up saying "Use the Imperial scale, 
        Rog, use the Imperial scale" a la Obi-Wan Kenobi)
