Holden C asked in Social ScienceGender Studies · 1 decade ago

Story of your life made into a movie: What actor/actress plays you?

Is the story of your life a comedy? action movie? horror movie? snuff film? love story? documentary where you get eaten by a bear?

No thumbs down, only thumbs up. I'm like Holden Ebert.

Update:

R.Gaspari: I see the title now. "Golden Showers: One man's struggle to express himself". It will be on BET in no time.

Update 2:

Michael: I am just glad you didn't put "with" in there. A mix of all genres eh? Sure, why not.

Update 3:

Neo: Well if you recall Bastion posted a question about who was more attractive Jessica Biel or Megan Fox and I stated that Mila Kunis was more attractive than both. So good choice, this doesn't guarantee you BA of course, but the Finland angle sounds compelling. I see this like "Twilight" without the vampires and non-stop references to feeling electrified when some guy looks at you. Kudos!

Update 4:

MMMMM: McKellan, very good choice. He may be older, but we do have the wonders of cgi, just think if they could be creepy with Brad Pitt in Benjamin Button what kind of awkwardness could be created with Sir Ian.

Update 5:

Rio: Good choice with Natalie Portman. I think she needs to do some more comedies. She was amazing in Garden State (where she was comedic though the movie was a little dark). I see her in a bunker operating running a radio show while eating chocolate gelati.

Update 6:

Yamiashi: Finally someone says horror. Not sure that's a good thing, but if you have a to wear a mask, I hope it looks like one of those spooky facial ones women get at spas. More terrifying than any hockey mask or William Shatner mask. Though the real William Shatner face is more frightening than all of the above.

Update 7:

Snister: Jason Mewes eh? Good choice. Just promise us all you won't flash your junk like he did in "Zak and Miri". Thanks

Update 8:

Winter Glory: I'm sure we can send some cheesecake and ice cream her way. If she's a method actress, she'll curve herself up. We can even get Tony Danza, I'm sure he's not busy.

Update 9:

Icevixen: Well I like the idea of a thriller. I am sure she'd like to do something like that. We'll even keep fur coats off the movie set.

Update 10:

La la la: I think you have the makings of a good flick. I was thinking who would be the best actress for you, I am leaning toward Amanda Peet. I am not sure if she's age appropriate, but her turn in "Igby Goes Down" shows she has far more range than most of her movies allowed. Mull it over. Have your people call my people.

Update 11:

TWOSOCKS: I like the choice and I like Kate Walsh as well. Though if I were you, I'd have to consider Christina Hendricks from "Mad Men". That's one rather stunning redhead.

Update 12:

Peri: Good choice in actress and director. I do believe Scott is still alive so that helps. Why not kind of like "Alien" but takes place in the old west. It could be called "Once up on a time in the old west was an alien". Ok, let me work on that and get back to you.

Update 13:

am: You took my sincere and deeply thought out question so you can try to factor in your desire to have some girl on girl action huh??? Nice one.

    It would probably be a more dramatic, sad, druggie film with ups and downs. Picture "Girl follows dreams, going from trailer/small town to great NYC university against all odds" plus lots and lots of eating disorder, drug-use, partying, and general "lostness" and trying to "find one's self" the entire time. Hopefully we could find some room for comedy and romance though.

    I think Brittany Murphy maybe? Or Natasha Lyonne. I can't think of any actresses that I really like, are my age, and who would be good for the part.

    Holden: Thanks! She was def. cooler than usual in Igby Goes Down. I think she could do it (even shares my name), but minus the fact that she couldn't pull off blonde, haha. We can hold auditions.

    Comedy for sure. It would chronicle all the times I have severely embarassed myself, gone through an awkward moment or wished I my parents would move us to Finland.

    I'd be played by Mila Kunis (Jackie on That 70's Show) because she's silly and I get told that I look like her quite often. Or Lilly Allan, for the same reasons plus she just doesn't give a sh!t.

    EDIT: Oh! And it has to be done by Mr. Tim Burton. I want it to have kind of a Big Fish sorta feel to it. Like a heavy acid trip on a sunny afternoon, you know?

    I would never want my life to be a movie ever and i do not like the thought of being an actor

  • 1 decade ago

    comedy/love/story.

    Gary Dourdan from CSI can play me. Some famous redhead like Kate Walsh can play my leading lady.

    Edit- agreed Christina Hendrix is gorgeous. I'd act along side whoever the director chose.

    He's not an actor, but I'm told I look a lot like Cristiano Ronaldo (he's a soccer player). I'm American and don't follow soccer at all, but I hear he's really good so him.

    Alyssa Milano after she's packed on about 15-20 lbs.

    She's too skinny, I'm a real woman I got me some curves.

  • 1 decade ago

    I think it'd be a comedy/drama. Sir Ian McKellan would play me, even though he's rather old. He's awesomesauce!

  • 1 decade ago

    pamela anderson, ive been told we look alike and one of my top favorite films is barbwire,although she's quit a bit older than me and i'm not sure how tall she is but i think she's shorter (i'm 5'9)

    genre,psychological thriller or dark comedy

    I would want a comedy and I would want the dude who played Jay in Clerks II to play me.

  • 1 decade ago

    Natalie Portman. And it's a comedy.
