If your life was made into a film.. What's the genre? Description on the back cover? What actor/actress plays your character?

It would be in black and white. No dialogue, no music. Nothing much happens. No character development to speak of. No real plot. It just drones on and on and on, boring as can be, then it ends suddenly with a black screen.

My life wouldn't be a movie. It's not interesting or eventful at all so there doesn't need to be a movie about it.

I like your answer better than mine.

My life movie would be a direct-to-DVD type of jobbie like "Sharktapus versus Arachnidnado starring Billy Zane", but not as cool.

The John Dheer Man, a quirky comedy about a landscaper with a habit of talking to himself and running things over with a lawn mower. Staring Owin Wilson. Lol.

Owen sounds perfect for it. He's a goofy guy.

As much as I'd like to claim my sense of humor as "all me", I was no doubt influenced heavily over my life from other sources. I like the self-deprecating humor because I have so much to use from my own life, and it helps me put a humorous spin on a lifetime of experience that normally would have seen me suck-start a shotgun years ago.

A parody of a horror or horror meets comedy?
Kind of like a parody of horror, but instead of man-eating monsters or crazed murderers, we have classmates who don't talk like normal people.

(Boys in my class, if you're somehow able to find this message, I'm not at all sorry. :) )

Yeah, it's one of the benefits of being a short little manlet - arms too short to do something like that.

Seeing a movie about my life would be like watching a movie about somebody who watches movies. I am at all times observing others. I watch people older than I am for cues about what is important in life. I watch my peers as they make mistakes, so I will know what to avoid. I watch for patterns in the crowd so I can slide between them without interfering or without them interfering with me. And I watch for any spot where a touch of humor might improve something, because that seems to be my forte.

My life so far as a watcher has been relatively stress and drama free, and it just might have had a small positive influence in the lives around it. But my life would be very boring for somebody to watch.


It could be worse though... some lives are like watching a train wreck.

Someone told me I was calculated. I'm very observant and do almost every because of something I've seen. I watch. I learn. I adjust my thoughts for the next move accordingly.

My movie life would be a combination of Jet Li (lots of slick moves), James Bond (lots of cool gadgets), Arnie and Stallone (lots of explosions), and... The Naked Gun (lots of stupidity.)

I would be the heroine who can infiltrate any fortress (in writing, of course), blow up any target with the turn of her head, beat up rounds of bad guys with my one pinky (maybe both, if I really wanted a workout), and be able to find absolutely any secret codes one might need on her phone (such as the numbers for setting off nuclear power plants in Bangladesh)... but yet not her own phone number.

The movie would end with a nerdy little girl curled up on the couch watching a movie--in other words, my life movie would all just be in my own head.

As for the incredibly risk-taking, ground-breaking actress who would get to play me (after all, they'll need only THE best stunt doubles in order to re-create all those sitting-on-the-couch scenes--we don't want any on-set injuries), good luck convincing Hollywood to cast an Asian actor to actually portray an Asian character (I'm looking at you, Tilda Swinton and Scarlett Johansson.)

Seeing as they would most likely choose a Caucasian woman to play me, my first pick would be Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2:



However, knowing that Hollywood would deem her as being too old, my next pick would be Charlize Theron:



I once read that she gained 30 pounds for the title role in the movie "Monster."

Yup. That sounds just about right. :p

Sounds like an Ingmar Bergman film
