If you’re like me, the second you heard there was going to be a Gilligan’s Island movie updated for the 21st Century, the first thought that went through your mind was “Ginger-Mary Ann Lesbian Kiss.”

After spending about 30 minutes dwelling on that, I started to cast the movie. I’ve always thought of Gilligan as a live-action cartoon; perfect entertainment for those times when an episode of Scooby-Doo won’t satisfy and Batman: The Animated Series seems a tad too challenging.

Who would be Gilligan, The Skipper, The Professor? Who, indeed. Who could take the place of Bob Denver, Alan Hale, Russell Johnson, Tina Louise, Natalie Schaefer, Jim Backus and Dawn Wells? Who would play the Harlem Globetrotters this time? And since vampires are the new black, would they feel the need to bring in Dr. Boris Balinkoff?

Will Gilligan be Zac Efron? Zachary Levi? Penn Badgley? Who are the new heavyset comedians who won’t live to see 40 who could play the Skipper? What hotties can possibly fill the tiny clothes of curvy Ginger (Blake Lively? Christina Hendricks?) and cornfed Mary Ann? (Alyssa Milano?) Is Edward Herrmann too old for Thurston Howell III?

And I’m not the only one who thinks like this, thank goodness. Over at Cyclops Central, they think about this stuff too. They’re having a castaway casting contest - complete with prizes. Just click over and play the game.

Any while we’re on this subject, can anyone tell me where my I Dream of Jeannie movie is?
