Yet another parlour game. If a movie of your life were to be made what actor would play you? What other actors would appear to depict the significant characters in your life?
Me: Joan Cusack; Jeanne Garafalo as my housemate/best friend. Supporting cast: Sandra Bullock, Cher and a young Alec Baldwin as my close confidants. Kate Winslet is the lesbian friend I'm secretly attracted to and Joaquim Phoenix as a recurring ex-boyfriend who routinely shags up my romantic life. Pam Anderson as the single mom down the road.
Jim Carrey as Lucifer....maybe...hahaha...
Then there's the soundtrack....I see a lot of Moby....the movie moves at a slow almost dream like pace....I haven't worked out the title yet.

mmmm, I can't really see Jim Carrey playing me. But thanks for putting an image of Jeanne Garafalo on your imaginary housemate/best friend.

p.s. can I meet Kate?

A group of my friends and I were playing this down the pub last night. My friends all received such nominations as Johnny Depp, Bradd Pitt, Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst.

Me? I get Steve Buscemi. Cheers guys! Thanks a lot!

I think I would need Johnny Depp to play me. He's an awesome actor, with the capability for very broad acting- and i'm a very broad character, i'm constantly all over the place. lol

My last girlfriend would be played by Keira Knightley, which is not meant to be a compliment, it's because she was really skinny. My ex before that would be played by jennifer connelly whom she actually kinda looks like, and shares the same incredible cuteness- but with bigger boobs than jennifer

.

Fred Willard would play my dad, and my mom would be Ellen Burstyn. Fred Willard for his wonderful sense of comedy and personality, and Ellen because she's just a class act all the way.

My best friend would optimally (as the perfect in-joke) be played by Leonardo Dicaprio, though in the interest of everyone not instantly hating the movie before even seeing it, perhaps it'd be better if he was played by Ryan Reynolds. Just a very cool, funny guy.

Tom Hanks. He's too old, but you can do wonders with makeup and lighting these days.

edit: and as for buddies, I would get All the guys from Swingers, and Old School, and then I would get a whole bunch of new talent to play the "New Guy". Every scene in the movie there would be a "New Guy", or FNG, and we would rag on him like John Goodman and Steve Buschemi in The Big Lebowski.

"Shut the fuck up, Donnie."

As for the ladies, I guess I would go for something like Scarlet Johansen or something like that. Women that can play character roles, and aren't just a pair of tits on the screen.

I have no idea who should play me... probably some unknown but up and coming actor. He will be really good but you will never have heard of him... until he takes this role.

Giant Hamburger · 04-26-2006, 08:34 AM

I want my movie to be all stop-motion animation.

Lets take a peek...

Problems are waiting for me when I get to work

I handle each one, individually

Some require extreme prejiduce

Eventually I leave work for home

Who can say what fate the gods have in store for me when I get there?

or is it?

Charlatan · 04-26-2006, 08:39 AM

It's like deja vu all over again...

Then again, I guess I should be grateful. One of my friends who wasn't there was awarded the honor of the following quote:

"Do you remember years ago....there was this playstation advert....."

Everyone errupts into laughter. The guy didn't even have to elaborate beyond that to clarify what he was talking about.

So cruel...

Zach braff, in a modified JD persona he would rock.

TBC, i need to go investigate people in my life.

Crack · 04-26-2006, 06:42 PM

Me: vince vaughn, I like his personality, and sense of humor.
Girlfriend: jennifer connelly, but younger (like 'career opportunities' younger, good movie btw) just yeah.
Friends: Jack Black and Kyle Gass, it's errie...

I'll think of more later

rockogre · 04-27-2006, 09:18 AM

I'm afraid I would be played by Wilfred Brimley. Oh the horror!

On the bright side, the soundtrack would be awsome! Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Blue Oyster Cult, Steppenwolf, and Uriah Heep.
