Pajiba

1) Bottle Rocket

2) Fred Savage/Adam Sandler

3) The Good Life's "The Beaten Path"

God help me I'm such a boring person that there isn't a good movie to best represent me, because no one would go to see it. However, apparently to make up for this I married someone whose life could best be summed up by Ferris Bueller's Day Off, with cast and soundtrack intact.

I have felt strong connections to movies that resonated with particular times in my life, but nothing more permanent than a phase.

So easy.

1) Glitter
2) James van der Beek
3) Cold-hearted Snake by Paula Abdul

man, this is fun. i am only 24 years old, so the movie would be a youthful, fast talking comedy. a mix of:

garden state (death, personal growth)
clerks (bitching)
office space (bitching with ties)
van wilder (college, eclairs)
ghost world (feeling unwanted, disconnected, misunderstood)
...and an unlikely love story to round it out.

my two good college friends would be played by John Cusak circa 1986, and Ryan Gosling circa 2000. I would be played by Eliza Dushku circa her Buffy days.

1. The Notebook (I know, sounds kinda cheesy but really is kinda). The sad thing is, I'm not a teenager in love with Ryan Gosling but a late twentysomething in the crisis. 2. Audrey Hepburn, of course 3. "This Town is Wrong" by the Nields

This is very easy, as I sit in my fucking cubicle.

1) Office Space
2) Toby McGuire
3) Bright Eyes' "Don't Know When But a Day's Gonna Come," about the most depressing song I can think of at the moment.

1. Sixteen Candles
2. Claire Danes
3. American Girl by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

1. Garden State, but with a female lead.
2. Kate Winslet
3. "On Your Porch" The Format

1. Lost in Translation
2. Natalie Portman
3. Ca Plan Pour Moi -- Plastic Bertrand

1. I guess my life could be played out in several acts represented by parts of Pretty in Pink/Office Space/Little Children (that whole suburban mom thing but lord knows, I am not having an affair)and hopefully the final act will be the culmination of a lifelong love story akin to Big Fish.

2. Either Tina Fey or Toni Collette
3. Cornflake Girl, Tori

Just keep these sort of diverson's coming-they're my favorite because these are the sorts of things my friends and I discuss over multiple pints at the pub. Somehow I get the feeling that's more pathetic or cool than it really is.

Movie: A combination of Ghost World's alienation and latent misanthropy, Little Miss Sunshine's painfully real humour and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' chemically induced surrealism.

Starring: Kelly Osbourne - Realisticlly we actually do look a bit alike when she stays away from the clown makeup. My roommate would be Jennifer Hudson while our gay best friends would be: Abhishek Bachchan, Alan Tudyk and Jeffery Wright (chosen for the men who crush on them). Lastly, my mom would be played by Susan Sarandon (again her choice...though we look as much like each other as SS and KO).

Theme Song: Rehab - Amy Winehouse / Beautiful - Joydrop

Definitely Amelie, and I'd pick Audrey Tatou to play me (I'd love Kate Winslet, but Tatou is way more me).

Song? As a music geek I'd have trouble picking one, but I think I'd like most of The National's CD 'Boxer' as a soundtrack to my life-movie.

1. Dazed and Confused
2. Lauren Graham
3. "Nightbird" by Stevie Nicks

1. Combination of Annie Hall & Life Lessons (New York Stories)
2. Maggie Gyllenhaal
3. "Hey" by the Pixies

Alright...

I too can not seem to answer the first question. I fail. Maybe a strange hybrid of Rocket Science , The Squid and the Whale, AND The Sopranos. Does the latter even count? Sure, why the hell not?

Who would star in it? Joseph-Gordon Levitt in drag. I'm what your grandma would call a handsome woman. Seriously though, it's eerie. Three words: Long. Lost. Siblings. With a cameo by Elvis Costello. (I met him, true story guys. Figured I would insert that somewhere since I missed the other afternoon comment diversion and by the time I got there it wasn't even worth posting. Nobody reads the bottom. Please.)

What would the theme song be? Perfect Day by Lou Reed. Screw Trainspotting, I would own this song.

And there you have it. Joseph-Gordon Levitt, suffering the trials and tribulations of a small town Jersey girl mixed with some Six Feet Under-esque happenings and a dry, comedic undertone, complete with dress and wing.

Hell, I'd watch that. And hate it.

1. A cross between Marie Antoinette and Garden State.
2. Claire Danes
3. "Look Up" by Stars.

1. Brazil
2. Vincent Dnofrio (sp?)
3. No theme song music aint my thang.

1. Office Space a la SAHMs;
2. Bonnie Hunt, of course, though I'd rather Myrna Loy; and
3. Going Through the Motions, from BTVS' Once More, With Feeling soundtrack.

Ooh Courtney I love "Sleep to Dream" as a theme!

Let's see:

Next Stop Wonderland
Kate Beckinsale (I've been told we look a like, I don't see it) or Julia Stiles
Walk Away or Better Way by Ben Harper

Romantic interest? Dermot Mulroney or John Slattery (I like the hot grays)
Quirky pal(s)? Janine Garafolo (circa Reality Bites) Jack Black or Kevin Smith (talking)

1)A mix of "American Beauty" without with tragedy and "Best Years of Our Lives" without the war with a liberal sprinkling of "It's a Wonderful Life" - without Clarence.

2)Henry Fonda (Tom Joad version, but middle class)

3)"Don't Wait up" - Richard Julian

-ghost world + rushmore + pretty in pink
-lauren ambrose
-lost in the supermarket // the clash

It was already made. Stranger than Fiction. Will Ferrell.

Part 1 of my life was like Big Wednesday, I guess.

The ultimate would be some sort of combination of Lawrence of Arabia and Sunset Blvd. Actor: DiCaprio. Theme song: Is It In My Head?

1. Bridget Jones in Office Space.
2. Maggie Gyllenhaal
3. "Do You Realize" - The Flaming Lips (which totally doesn't fit the movie i described, but I've never made that much sense)

by some standards, I've lead a fairly boring life but ACTUALLY, if the book "Show Gypsies" were ever made into a movie, THAT would be my life, with the possible exception that I never actually pursued the dream. But the main character was me through and through, to the point where our thought processes were the same. (I went through a phase in high school where I would berate myself mentally in Shakespearean English: "Thou protests too much, thou fraudulent bitch!")

1. The Girl in the Cafe (I'm a combination of both him and her)
2. In terms of physical resemblance, I get Kyra Sedgwick, Robin Tunney, Claire Forlani, and Kate Winslet comparisons quite a bit, which makes me think I don't look like anyone at all. In terms my personality, the role would have to go to an actress who can master extreme highs and lows, be both really funny and really sad... Maybe Jennifer Jason Leigh
3. "Save Me" by Aimee Mann

Ooo ooo ooo! now that i've read other peoples stories, something came to mind. check this:

American Beauty (minus the tragedy) meets Sixteen Candles (or actually Pretty in Pink, but I hated the movie so nah) meets Mississippi Masala (except Eastern European) meets Amelie meets Tomb Raider (sigh, I wish)

Not terribly original, but hey I'm unique, just like the rest of us.

Kate Winslet - according to mom but I think she's just being kind

can't think of a soundtrack but I like most Tool/APC/Muse, not that that fits like at all with the movie theme. oh dear, now i'm going to be wracking my brain all night...it hurts

Since I spend my days at work entertaining myself reading these diversions and the fabulous reviews on this site, I have decided it is about time to contribute something and add my own comment.

This past year or so my life has been most similar to Garden State (the lost feeling and not knowing what to do with my life) mixed with a little Bridget Jones (my love life is always good for a laugh and I have a good group of friends who are always by my side).

For an actress, based on looks I guess I would pick Anne Hathaway. Strangers stop me and tell me I look like her. Well, except for the fact that I am much taller and blonde. Or Katherine Heigl, people tell me I look like her when they are trying to be nice.

As for a theme song...I am in the midst of a break up right now so anything I pick would be terribly depressing so I am just going to leave that one blank.

Well, there you have it- my lengthy and overly detailed Pajiba debut.

1. Bridget Jones + Memento (I seem to never remember 'i made that mistake before...' but maybe that's charming?)

2. Because of the occasional comparisons to Uma Thurman I'll pick her although I am less tall, more brunette

3. "Fidelity" by Regina Spektor

love the diversion & the posts...

1. "The Brady Bunch" and "The Sandlot" for my childhood. Then "Beaches" and "This Boy's life" for adolescence. "Angus" for my teenage years. "The Other Side of Heaven" for my mission years. And all the fun parts of "ATL" for the present day. But it would all be presented as funny and classy.

2. Phillip Seymour Hoffman as an older wiser version of myself.

3. Mr. Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra.

Sorry... scratch "Beaches" replace with "Unstrung Heroes." That one is told from the kid's perspective.

1) Totally Fucked Up (Gregg Araki), with dashes of The Pillow Book (Greenaway) and Swoon (Tom Kalin)

2) Some sort of Seth Green/Adam Brody hybrid. Manchildren! They're the new pink!

3) "Perfect Need and Perfect Completion," by Joan of Arc

especially the lines:

I'm still good at making new friends I guess / as long as I don't have to keep them.

1.) If 'My So-Called Life' and 'Daria' were a movie.

2.) Claire Danes

3.) Garbage- Only Happy When It Rains

1. A mix of Mi Familia and Full Nelson

2. Give Jack Black some tranquilizers.

3. Any given Ozomatli or Calexico album. Add in Explosions in the Sky every now and then.

1)Probably a cross between Office Space and The Office (I know its a TV show but go with me here)
2)Either Jenna Fischer or a geeked up Anne Hathaway
3) The theme song from the Office or the theme song from Jeopardy.

Sad but true...and people wonder why I am considering a career change!

1. Moulin Rouge, but instead of an actress/concubine, I'm an artist... and Christian died instead.
2. Alexis Bledel circa Sin City, but about a six inches shorter.
3. "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue," Bob Dylan

1. Ghost World + Clockwatchers + Diner + Spaced

2. Emily Deschanel

3. "What I Am" by Edie Brickell & the New Bohemians

1) Hard Candy or American Psycho... but I'm neither a handsome yuppie killer or American, so let's go with Hard Candy, since I am pedobait, and I am known for a massive disgust and hatred toward the types I draw.
2) AnnaSophia Robb.
3) Kasu - kagi no kakaru heya (inst.) And if that is too beautiful, then Rocket Science - Being Followed. Or, O Fortuna. Or...I'm going to stop now. This ain't the OST.

1) If you life were a movie, what would it be?

Triplets of Belleville, since almost every aspect of my life is surrounded by music, and I'm just pretentious enough to claim my life is like a French Canadian filmmaker's animated social commentary of the US, the UK, and France, but not so pretentious as to render that idea totally toolish.

2) In a movie of your life, who would star?

Angela Bettis has done some amazing work playing characters originally written for men, so why not go with her, since she's at the top of her game and obviously the film of my life would be more formulaic than Walk the Line with the rise, fall, return scenario. Only mine is rise to nerdom, fall to hipster, return to embrace nerdom and assume my rightful place as ubernerd.

3) What would the theme song be?

I'd want something completely out of place and truly disturbing in context, so I once demand a cover of I've Written a Letter to Daddy from What Ever Happened to Baby Jane as performed by Bjork, thereminist Pamelia Kurstin, and Meg White on the drums. Yoko Ono would (naturally) do back up vocals.

Cindy, that is the most awesome Smiths song.

1) Stranger Than Fiction (something beautiful but not groundbreaking, with an adorable love story at the heart and narrated by someone with a British accent)

2) Zooey Deschanel (if only I was that cute) and my love interest would be played by John Krasinski (mmm)

3) You Pick Me- A Fine Frenzy

1. Blend of Now, Voyager and In Her Shoes.

2. Toni Collette, but short.

3. Dinah Washington or the BeeGees. Tough call.

1. Real Genius + Say Anything + bits of Drugstore Cowboy + Tromeo and Juliet (mostly for the environment)

2. Linnea Quigley circa Return of the Living Dead or Natalie Portman

3. My Wandering Days Are Over by Belle & Sebastian for quieter parts. For less soft-and-mushy bits of the movie, either Bad Religion's 21st Century Digital Boy or the Distillers' Drain the Blood.

Bend It Like Beckham/Amelie/Bridget Jones/My Summer of Love

Either Anne Hathaway or Scarlett Jo.-been told I look like both, so whatever!

Claire De Lune for the nice bits, anything by The Clash for the more angsty parts

this one is easy, since i always think about it.

1. adaptation with a strange mix of ordinary people - my life is eccentric and screwy like adaptation (but as sentimental as this sounds), i've had to overcome obstacles like timothy hutton in ordinary people.

2. maggie gyllenhaal - we're both eccentrics, and i've always been told i somewhat resemble her...i wish.

3. there she goes by sixpence none the richer.

I would say my life is exactly like the graphic novel 'Fun Home' minus the funeral home but with quite nearly everything else exactly intact -- combined with 'Ghost World' and the sense of life aimlessness in 'Lost in Translation.'

Played by an unknown with the personality of a Thora Birch-Maggie Gyllenhaal combo.

Score made up of My Bloody Valentine and/or Elliott Smith. Or if you needed that heart-lifting pop hit, "Calendar Girl" by Stars.

since I feel as though I live primarily with an inner monologue and/or narrator inside my head, my choices are:

movie of my life: amelie, with a dash of wizard of oz

star of my movie: janeane garofalo, circa 'romy & michele'

my movie theme song: fiona apple's 'extraordinary machine'

Woah, I was just thinking about such a topic before I decided to continue procrastinating and look for Pajiba updates.

1. Family life would be some combo of Napoleon Dynamite, the Bells of Saint Mary's, and Finding Neverland without the evil grandma.
College would be an intelligent combination of Chariots of Fire, The Wedding Planner, Shall We Dance? and Little Women (I'm a Meg/Jo).

2. Kate Winslet in glasses, or a resurrected mixture of Greta Garbo and Katherine Hepburn.

3."When Love Comes to Town" by U2 and BB King and "It's All Been Done Before" by Barenaked Ladies.

I Heart Huckabees

Jennifer Saunders

"I'm in love with a girl" Big Star

1.- Punch Drunk love

I'm a woman but Sandler's character "it's too close to home and it's too near the bone"

2.- Ally Sheedy (circa 1985)

3.- Still Ill by The Smiths

"Does the body rule the mind
Or does the mind rule the body?
I don´t know...."

I only know the theme song. I've been waiting for years to announce it.



Girls of Rock & Roll from the Chipmunk movie.



Just kidding-- it would totally be "A Better Son/Daughter" by Rilo Kiley. The song would be played during the opening credits. And the ending credits. And during all the content in between.

I remember having trouble with "High Fidelity" at first, until someone pointed out how much my life and attitude at the time resembled Rob's. Narcissism is my cuddly fwend.

1) High Fidelity, What's Eating Gilbert Grape & Pump Up The Volume.

2) A young Dave Foley.

3) "Universal Heart-Beat" by Juliana Hatfield.

1. Ghost World + Kicking & Screaming + Manhattan, set in Canada
2. '70s-era Diane Keaton maybe -- more her in Manhattan than in Annie Hall
3. Uh..."More Adventurous," Rilo Kiley

1. A cross between Amelie (very popular here, I'm so happy) and Ordinary People.

2. America Ferrera (my nephews say I look like her).

3. Bag Lady by Erykah Badu (you have to hear it to truly understand).

Oh Lord, I think I have revealed too much about myself yet again. Oh well, c'est la vie.

1. Almost Famous. I'm not a groupie.

2. Everyone says I look like her (and I've seen her in like 7 Lifetime movies this past week) so Rachael Leigh Cook. With a smidge more talent.

3. The theme song is a toughie- I've repeatedly said the Frug by Rilo Kiley is a fairly accurate description of my life, but for this movie I'd have to go with Fight Song! by Joe Firstman, 'cause "I'm takin' a slow walk through the fast life."

1. 2046

2. Alex Pettyfer. I'm just that pretty.

3. Tori Amos - Bouncing Off Clouds.

1. Lost in Translation & Ghost World minus the distractingly beautiful female protaganist,the same amount of subtle realism and emotion to it.
2.Hollywood stars would be distracting,however good they might be as actors.someone average-looking with a sufficient amount of acting chops.
3.Smashing Pumpkins-1979,or Fleetwood Mac-Say You Will

1) 'The Secret of My Succe$s' - in Michael J. Fox's role, we're probably the same height.

2) Rose Byrne - extra points for being Australian!

3) Curtis Mayfield - Move On Up

1. Persepolis (an animated movie based on an animated novel)+The Office (if it were a movie)

2. Has anyone noticed the sad lack of representation of Middle Eastern actors? I'll go with Sophia Loren, because a legally blind man once said I look like her.

3. Tori Amos--Crucify

I'm probably the last to comment--yay!

1) O Lucky Man! (I sort of go with whatever's going on and weird stuff happens to me but it always has a good effect in the end)
2) Toni Colette (Australian and slightly quirky but not overly so)
3) "Opportunity" by Pete Murray (See title.)

Ooh, this is a fun one...
1) Harold and Maude. Timeless love story, something I feel I have within me...gotta love Maude's kooky philosophy that's actually pretty boddhisatva-like.

2)For looks and "wild" past alone, Lindsay Lohan or Mary-Kate Olsen...god help me, hopefully somebody with better acting skills will come along. If I could pick any actress, alive or dead, I'd go with Ginger Rogers.

3) "Trouble" -Cat Stevens. Classic.

1)Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind(Because the other would be Six Feet Under but that's a TV show). Guy falls in love, thinks they love him, turns out they erased you. Very complex, but very entertaining.

2)I think maybe...I don't know, Jason Bateman? But then again, Zack Braff's Jewish and quirky. One of those.

3)I'd love the song, "It's a Hit" by Rilo Kiley or "A Day in the Life" by The Beatles.

1) just because of situations that i've found myself in over the years (living away from home in a fake reality having to work in close quarters with strangers): M*A*S*H, although i would love it if my life was more like Buckaroo Bonzai.

2) either a Moonlighting era Bruce Willis or a St. Elmo's Fire era Judd Nelson - keep the smirk, only taller and with Luke Perry/Matt Dillon hair - with some Robert Downey Jr. or Matthew Broderick boyish charm.

3) the Pixies cover of Leonard Cohen's I Can't forget.

1. I've never seen a film that remotely resembles my life. To give an idea: Rory from Gilmore Girls with her mother's sense of humour, much slower speech, more siblings and a way less "quiet" life.

2. The only person I can think of who approximately looks like me is Sanaa Lathan or Gabrielle Union maybe.

3. "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks.

Oh, this is cool because I actually have thought about this from time to time... like when I'm at the dentist or in an elevator. (I really hate elevators. I'm just saying.)

I'm not sure if there is already a movie with enough weird random bullshit mixed with boring everyday bullshit that would be a stand-in for a movie about my life.... but if you throw Mommie Dearest, Pulp Fiction, and The Breakfast Club into a blender and hit frappe, I guess the contents thereof might be close.

Janeane Garofolo would play me- no doubt about THAT. I love her. If Goldie Hawn would become Italian, she would play my friend Christi. Or else Drew Barrymore- they both have enormous racks. Briggitte Neilson would play my friend Jill. (Jill is like 9 1/2 feet tall.) Larry The Cable Guy would play my ex-husband. (Because they are both redneck morons, get it?) Colin Farrel could play my current squeeze if he shaved his head and grew out a little red beard. Christopher Walken would play my dad because I love Christopher Walken and it's MY movie. Woody Allen would play my mom if he would agree to dress in drag because nobody in Hollywood could correctly capture my mother's anal-retentive nature like Woody Allen. My friend Nix would be played by...... she's a toughie, and she's an important role! Zooey Deschanel. Nix is beautiful and deeply weird- Zooey could pull it off.

Soundtrack? Winners and Losers, by Social Distortion..... OR Nickels and Dimes, by Social Distortion. Or possibly Story of My Life, by Social Distortion.

Movie of my life: Big Fish would be my movie for two reasons. 1) I had a larger than life father with outlandish stories most of which were true just not in the way I thought they were. 2) I fell in love with a man, and figured out a way to get him to love me just as much as I love him (sounds corny but it's true),going so far as getting married seven months after meeting.

Star to play me: maggie gyllenhaal

Theme Song: "Thirteen" by Big Star

I'm late in I guess

1) My life movie would feel exactly like Waitress, include the random whimsical fantasies, the sense of great opportunities missed, the self realisation, the hideous and controlling male figures. Remove the pregnancy.

2) For realism/looks sake: Christina Ricci (in the casper years) as a child, Katie Holmes or Drew Barrymore as the adult me (with Katie Holmes taking several years of acting classes first obviously) and finally Angelica Houston to narrate as older me looking back on my life.

3) The theme song would have to be Paper Bag by Fiona Apple. Completely.

1) Noah Baumbach's "Kicking and Screaming" mixed with "A Home at the end of the world".

2) I have a really distorted sense of self. A slightly effete Seth Rogen? A thinner Nick Frost? A young John C. Reilly?

3) Pulp's "I'm a man" and Kirsty MacColl's "You just haven't earned it yet, baby".

1) Some combination of "Kicking and Screaming" and "Freaks and Geeks"
2)Child me: Abigail Breslin. Adult me: Tina Holmes.
3) "Scythian Empires" - Andrew Bird

1. Stepford Wives meshed with any of the Griswald Family movies and a dash of Cheaper by the Dozen. My character, although I am female, would be based on Clark the dad.

2. Natile Portman

3. Ramones, I need to be Sedated

1. "Unconditional Love", without the extreme bits.
2. Kathy Bates. No matter what the movie is, it would have to be Kathy Bates.
3. Right this very minute, the standout song would have to be Social Distortion's "Far Behind".

1. The Family Stone. Not a great movie, but then again, Christmas Eve at my house is not exactly comfy.
2. Tippi Hedren
3. Edge of Seventeen, Stevie Nicks. I know - I'm nearly 30, but that song is my freaking anthem!

1) As much as I would love to say the movie of my life would be something like a Ingmar Bergman film, or La Dolce Vita or Last Tango in Paris, the movie of my life is High Fidelity: a man realizes he needs to grow up and accept he's no longer an adolescent.

2) Bill Murray.

3) I would have a kick-assed soundtrack to my "biopic." Some of the songs on my soundtrack would be:

- Misunderstood by Pete Townshend
- Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick by Ian Dury and the Blockheads
- Search and Destroy by Iggy and the Stooges
- Mushaboom by Feist
- Twin Cinema by the New Pornographers
- In a Sentimental Mood by Duke Ellington and John Coltrane
-

All the President's Men

Shirley Maclain circa "The Apartment"

"I wanna be your lover" Prince

I just read all the way through, and - Wow. Given our answers, we're a ridiculously attractive group of forum posters, aren't we?

(Said the woman who chose Catherine Keener.... Heh.)

1. The Baxter
2. Lili Taylor
3. California Stars off of Mermaid Avenue.

1. "Pane e Tulipane" I run away from my life at least twice a year to Venice.

2. Janeane Garofalo, but a foot taller.

3. Soundtrack: anything by Nina Simone

Wow, we're a mopey bunch of mofos, ain't we?

My life would be the movie "Agnes of God", starring Chris Burke and Marlee Matlin, featuring the music of The Shaggs.

a. Veronica Mars the Movie!
b. Natalie Portman or Michelle Trachtenberg
c. 'Cornflake Girl' by Tori Amos

My movie would be the opening sequence of Romancing the Stone (the romance novel/writing bit) expanded to two hours. Or perhaps like any movie supposedly about the internet and its users, only, you know, not stupid, and much funnier.

Your Heroine would be played by Renee Zwellwegger in Bridget Jones mode.

Theme song is "And She Was" by Talking Heads. (Though a music sting of "The Internet is for Porn" from Avenue Q would not be out of place.)

1. A mix of Ghost World, Garden State, and Little Miss Sunshine
2. Maggie Gyllenhaal (possibly spelled wrong) or Kate Winslet. Not because they look even remotely like me or anything like that, but I enjoy them as actresses.
3. "What Do I Get" - The Buzzcocks

1. A cross between "Ghost World" and "Girl, Interrupted". Throw in a pinch of "Welcome to the Dollhouse" as a prologue.

2. Let's see, some tall deep-voiced broad like Chloë Sevigny or Scarlett Johansson.

3. "Ball & Chain" by Janis Joplin.

Pretty late on this, but...

1) Holden Caulfield starring in "Stranger Than Fiction".
2) Possibly, Tom Green in his first serious (breakthrough) role.
3) "Where Is My Mind?", by the Pixies. Easily.

Movie: Falling Down
Actor: a chubby Ron Livingston would play me, and Ginnifer Goodwin would play my wife. (Yeah, thats how it is in real life too. I don't question it.)
Song: Allentown by Billy Joel

1) "Junebug" - I´d be the husband who goes back to the small Southern town to visit his weird family with his sophisticated foreign spouse (except mine would be a gay spouse).

2) Abraham Benrubi - You know, the big guy who was always at the front desk on "ER" taking phone calls and is now on the show "Men In Trees" and was also on "Parker Lewis Can´t Lose" when he was younger.

3) "Smalltown Boy" - Bronski Beat

1) Childhood/adolescence: Mommie Dearest. Yes, my mom is really that crazy. Twenties (so far): Proof. I'm like a less extreme version of Gwyneth's character.

2. People tell me that I look like Sarah Michelle Gellar (brown, not blonde).

3. DMB's "Grey Street" is totally my song.

eternal sunshine of the spotless mind


rose mcgowan


hungry for a holiday-bright eyes

1) A little like high school musical crossed with little miss sunshine and superbad but with college-aged black people

2) Maya Rudolph with a body like Beyonce (weird, i know, but true)

3) Stevie Wonder, "As"

1.) Sixteen Candles (I can so relate to that family and I eventually found my own 'Jake').
Though at my age, Office Space is more what my life is like now: reports, meetings, reports, meetings, and more reports.

2.) Catherine Keener.

3.) Face Up by New Order

1. This is really hard; my life isn't very Hollywood-relatable at all. Not enough drama. Not many films made about generally-contented people. Maybe Little Children, without the marital discord? (See, now that would have been a dull movie!)

2. Actually a TV gal, but Jan Smithers circa 1980. I've been told I look and act like Bailey from WKRP In Cincinnati.

3. 'The After Hours,' by The Velvet Underground.

Hmmm...this is really odd but I'd have to say...

1. Friends With Money (that Nicole Holofcener, Jennifer Anniston starring flick from a year or so ago). Sums up my life pretty much exactly, except you know...I'm a dude.
2. Ryan Reynolds on a Bridget Jones' Diary-esque diet to fatten him up a bit. Or a less slobbish Seth Rogan.
3. Maria Taylor "Clean Getaway"/"My Own Fault"

Although no one is reading this anymore, I will add this because I'm bored:

1) Bridget Jones' Diary

2) Claire Danes (if she gained 100 pounds)

3) "You wouldn't Like me"

stop naming wisteria, everyone knows what it sounds like.

Talk about a self-indulgent comment diversion.

1. Stand by Me and Heathers
2. Rose McGowen but blonde
3. Southenern Cross by CSNY

Pushing 'the last!' along:

1) Mix of 'SLC Punk'* and 'The Joy Luck Club'. Yep, that'd about cover it.
2) Emma Watson
3) 'In the Desert', Ben Lee

1. Start out as New Waterford Girl then transform into a hybrid of When Harry Met Sally (but end in heartbreak) and turn into Into the Wild (minus the ending)

2. Winona Ryder circa 1989

3. Bob Dylan's"Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" or The Doors' "You're Lost, Little Girl"

1. Juno

2. Maggie Gyllenhaal

3. "On the Radio" by Regina Spektor
