Tagged by inlaterdays for the HARDEST MEME EVER

If there was a movie about your life, who would you cast in these roles?

You:  Jodie Foster, because she is SRS BZNAS, and seems hard to get to know, and could make even the boring plot of my life interesting, or at least nuanced.  Please note that this is also who my husband picked for me, after saying, unprompted, "Your life?  Why would anyone make a movie of your life?"  He is so supportive.

Your father/mother: Wilford Brimley for my dad (looks and for this quote: "I like people very much. I'm not very good with people, but that doesn't mean I don't like them.").  Diane Keaton for my mom (brains and attitude). 

Siblings: Lili Taylor for my sister and Paul Rudd for my brother.

Arch Rival: At first, I couldn't think of any arch rivals (see explanation "You"), but then I remembered one from years past.  She was a shirker and a kiss-ass, and guyz, guyz, she was proud of not weighing enough to give blood.  That was an accomplishment in her twisted brain.  Adding insult to injury, she had the same first name as I did.  Grrr.  She will be played by Britney Spears in VMA mode and will get one and a half minutes of screen time before being hit by a bus.

Love Interest:  If there is anyone on my f-list who doesn't know who I'd cast as my Love Interest, then I need you to please, please memorize these important life points:
-- Fire is hot.  -- Seawater is not healthy to drink. -- Wild dogs may bite.

And yes, the scenes with the two of us would be awkward, and geeky, and possibly clammy, and everyone would fast forward through them.  I DON'T CARE.  ( hannahrorlove pointed out it would actually be Jodie in the scenes with him. Imagine it. IMAGINE IT. Oh lordy.)

Now, as to who would play my Husband, it'd be Luke Wilson, replaced in certain scenes by a sarcasm double:  Whit Stillman favorite Chris Eigeman.

I guess I've been lucky in having an unusual first name and a rare last one.

I'll point out you wouldn't be the one playing yourself in the scenes with the actor playing your love interest, but I have no doubt you'd be the script supervisor, overseeing all the little details of the film...offering individual consultations...

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Good point. Maybe I could be her stand-in for those scenes...

Now I'm imagining Jodie and him doing a love scene together, and am rolling on the floor laughing. ROLLING ON THE FLOOR. It would be dramatic, intense, and intellectually impassioned, and they would never, ever touch each other.

Geek love at its finest. I'd watch it.

Mine!

Oy! (http://www.greenfilms.com/gcimages/Robert.jpg)

Well, we know he doesn't like working that much, so he'd probably try to get all his scenes on my movie done in like a week. Then he'd be free to work on yours! XD (Great pic!)

*hugs*

*I* wouldn't fast forward through those scenes! And how/where did you and your love interest "meet"?

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

You wouldn't? Seriously?

I have no idea where we "met" - that might be more of a "based on a true story" (i.e., mostly made up) vignette. : )

[purridot.livejournal.com]

Hee hee. Who cares about reality? It's a movie, hopefully to be shown on HBO (so the actors can show some skin if necessary), not a documentary for the History Channel!

Chris Eigeman! I fall in love with all his characters even though they're sarcastic bastards. I guess it makes sense that I'm a little bit in love with Gregory House. You've got good taste in men.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Mr. Laundry's a bit more happy-go-lucky than Eigeman's characters (and a bit funnier) but the sarcasm, quirky humor, attitude, and the going off on odd tangents fit pretty well. Heh.

YOU ARE AMAZING and did a much better job on this than I did. I am sorry I inflicted it on you but I knew your answer would be really cool.

I AM EVIL D:

"Better job" - WTF? YOUR MOVIE HAS AMY SEDARIS AND NICK LEA. Mine has Jodie Foster trying to do a love scene with RSL. LOLOLOL

Want to go to the premiere with me?

[inlaterdays.livejournal.com]

It's a date, BB!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Hee! I like your casting ideas! I asked MY husband who would play me in a movie, and he immediately said Jodie Foster! :D

What a great meme!

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Jodie is intelligent and brilliant, and I'm sure that's why your husband picked her for you. My husband focused more on the aloofness and seriousness. It makes me laugh but in real life, I can't say he's wrong.

I almost got my revenge by having Ben Stiller play him -- they are more alike than my husband wants to admit -- but gave him his reprieve with Luke/Chris.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

I lurve Jodie!

Hubby and I decided that Tim Robbins would play him, and my dad would be Dabney Coleman and my mom would be Betty White. *snerk*

[savemoony.livejournal.com]

OOOh. Such Fun. Suuuch Fun.

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Heh. It was tough, but fun.

So I hate to be a nag but did you like the Pillory prequel? I writted it for yoooooooou.

*throws things at stupid LJ for eating comment*

(And of course it only does that when I haven't bothered to copy my comment as a precaution...)

Fascinating stuff! I think we may have to make a timetable for use of RSL's time, though XD

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

He'd be a busy, busy man, that's for sure. XD

Speaking of life stories, any more pics from the Sims H/W?

[daisylily.livejournal.com]

Funny you should mention that - I spent most of yesterday evening sorting out the photos. For some reason the Sims program is incapable of naming the photos in order, pah.

So, I'll probably be posting something this evening :D

[deelaundry.livejournal.com]

Yay!!!
