who would play you in a movie?
A game in our group that has reached the cult status of "odd one out" and "what snack am i?" is "who would play you in a movie?" The rules are simple. It's gotta be someone famous. It's gotta be someone who matches your vitals, your character, and your essence. It's gotta be someone slightly better looking than yourself. Perfect matches include Neve Campbell as Lena, Uma Thurman as Sarah, Catherine Zeta Jones as Natasha, Kirsten Dunst as Jane, Ed from Northern Exposure (who?) as Alex, Sarah Jessica Parker as Jord, and Jennifer Connelly as Alita (you may not know Alita, she is a friend of mine, and it's a REALLY perfect match that I came up with yesterday and I am very excited about it). Other matches are more controversial. I'm not too happy with Winona Ryder. I haven't been a shoplifting drug addict in years. James wasn't keen on Ethan Hawke, despite being thrilled at their mutual ruggedness (and would it mean he'd get to pork Uma, i.e. Sarah??). Clearly the game has limits. So in somewhat of a revolt led by James, we have decided that... (in your deepest, smoothest movie voice please)

...from the directors of Matrix..
and the producers of Jurassic Park..
comes
The Story of James and Tatty..
starring Arnold Schwartznegger and Pamela Anderson.
A successfully struggling musician by day, James (Schwartznegger) had acquired a different kind of fame, building pecs and pumping iron (and Irene) by night.. little did the members of Kid Confucius know that the chart classic Inhale.. Exhale.. was written in response to a particularly gruelling training session involving a Swedish dwarf and a Puerto Rican degenerate in the basement of James' parents' house in the ghetto. James' double life becomes exposed when he is driven make a choice between the life of underground steroid-munching, or snorting coke on stage..
Tatty (Anderson) always wondered why she had such good "rapport" with the teenage junkies she was so devoted to. She put it down to her approachable nature and fun-loving personality. One day she looked in the mirror and realised she wasn't wearing very much and had GG-sized breasts. The words "action plan", "group session", and "handover" suddenly took on a very different meaning. Tatty started to wonder whether she was in fact in the right industry, or whether she was wasting her life in welfare when she could be the spokesperson for Green M&Ms.
This is a story of two ordinary people forced to make extraordinary choices. Featuring the new Kid Confucius single "Make up your mind", it compels us all to look in the mirror, which the lead characters do for the majority of their screen time. Coming soon to a drive-in near you..

ok, that is brilliant beyond belief!! hahaha.. but the funniest thing is that I have been asking every tom, dick and harry would play them in a movie of late!! we are not people who are not connected across timezones and oceans!! my issue is with my casting.. i would NOT be played by neve campbell as she always looks ready to bawl - and while i do enjoy the occassional crying session after a good episode of 7th heaven, it's really not a good representation of my nature at all whatsover.. whereas I personally think salma blair would do the trick nicely.. tatty, how can you possibly whinge about winona rider?! she is perfect!! juvanka would be pia miranda.. maya - liv tyler.. eli court - orlando bloom.. sylvia - drew barrymore.. i have tons more but none of them are people that you guys know.. damn!!
as for the movie - it will be a hit with every californian, if not every american - and therefore the world!! yes, you rock!!! xxxxx hahaha ...

Thanks for thinking of me tatty. I am super happy with Jennifer Connelly as my famous twin. She has larger breasts and whiter teeth than me - which - you're right, does make her just slightly more attractive than me - simply fabulous. She even manages to look hot as a crack whore in Requiem. Something to admire indeed.
Hi Lena - we've never met but I have heard that you're a champion by your wonderful friends here. Look forward to sharing a laugh with you, tatts and james.
