Movies of Your Life
by My first pioneer partner and I kept a running list of all the ppl we knew and who would play them in the movie of our life. I actually still have my copy of the list. At the time, I chose for her to be played by Chelsea Noble who played Mike Seaver's girl friend on Growing Pains. My pioneer partner chose for me to be played by Drew Barrymore, but because she was in a druggie phase at the time, I lobbied for someone else and wound up with Staci Keanan from My Two Dads and Step by Step. If I was choosing now, I would like Alicia Silverstone to play me. I identify with her in a major way, not just from her work, but her interviews and appearances. She just seems really cool. I no longer keep a physical list, but I often think whoa! that person I just met is so being played by fill-in-the-blank.
Who would play you? How about your nearest and dearest? How about the cast of the movie of ezabel?

When I was chubbier with long curly hair everyone said I looked like Drew Barrymore. Since I got my hair cut spikey with black streaks, I was told Ashlee Simpson. Brian's mom says Penelope Cruz.
I know many people who say all of these stars are butt ugly...geeeeee, thanks!!!!!
well i think you're prettier than all of the above!!
me2
rock supastar = jesse metcalfe
are you crazy? this guy looks much more like carson daly than mike.
thats Miguel from Passions! what a hawty!
How funny is this you know about Passions 'voice over' NBC's #1 daytime drama, this is rich!
me and bri were HOOKED for a season! It was NOT a good sitch.
LOL that is SO funny!
has mike still not seen this?
HAHAHHA, wow... thanks sunshyne!!! that guys pretty sinking hot!!! i wish i looked like him... maybe clearer skin, contacts and 30 pounds lighter and after a 6 pack, maaaaaaaaaaaaybe..
hey...as if i actually look like anyone suggested to play me? no...the hollywood version is always sexier!
haha, good point, i like his sideburns... i like mine too!
yeah i see the resemblance, maybe if this guy put on 80 pounds
u fag.... dont hate...
Summer i think you could be played by angelica houston. I mean her younger self with a blond wig, but i could see that...
you think so? she seems so...severe. maybe i havent seen her earlier stuff. - actually the only thing i can think of her in right now is the royal tenenbaums and ever after. lemme check out the imdb....you know, im not sure ive seen her in other than mafioso movies.
whoa! foxy lady!

well I would definitely be played by Dennis Osburn
I would be played by Dean Cain...
Or brendan fraser, i would let him play me...
brendan fraser from school ties/with honors or brendan fraser from george of the jungle/dudley do-right. personally, i love him in the scout. also, bc that has albert brooks and dianne wiest.
None of the above! Brendan Fraser aka Encino Man
Hopefully Zoe Saldana or Christina Milan*, I'd be fortunate if either. LUV Christina though, (tanto una dulce cubana como yo)
I'd recommend Zoe and NOT Christina. Zoe has proved herself in better movies that Christina has. Zoe is pretty good. Dominican too.
If me and Zoe are secretly linked that so should have been me in Guess Who, lol!!!! *sighs* Ashton
I'd have Keith Van Horn do one of those athlete-to-acting transfers and play me...
look at that white lanky thunder. all keith needs is a little (lot) more hair, a little less basketball skill, some more goofiness, lose the facial hair and be totally good looking, and he'd be the perfect guy to play me.
if KVH isnt available, this guy should play me
hahahhaah. snoop dogg and you are one in the same. incidentally though, why does he have longer nails than i do?
aw, a babe as to badness. pimps have a couple long nails to distribute cocaine to themselves and their, um, employees.
are you kidding me??? i just thought it would be cuz he was a lil woman who liked long nails. but there actually is a reason for this. i don't know if i believe you.
I hope i'm played by matt damon, and then we can add in a bunch of fight scenes to compensate for the pointless storyline of my life
no. you can be played by matthe lilliard
how about bette midler?
how about dax from punk'd? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1009277/
or maybe justin timberlake?
HAHAHAHA. I could totally see that.
Right here I'm gonna go with... NO:-P
Clearly Justin Timberlake is lacking that special something,what's the word?
Ah yes FOXITUDE that's right I said it you heard it here first
Justin Timberlake= 0% FOXITUDE
Foxitude, now there is a new one to me. hm.
Me.. probably brad pitt or tom cruise. tom cruise short.
ian sooo dustin diamond.
let the asian jokes begin
You can be played by Lucy Lu.
you'll be played by the asian kid from the goonies and indiana jones temple of doom
I think John Cho would be PERFECT!!!! (He's the guy from "Harold & Kumar Go TO White Castle"....and numerous other movies.) HAHAHAHAHAHA!!
i will be played by keanu reeves, thank you
Only in your dreams and maybe not even there. You just don't say dude enough. lol
Why? I think he's dumb.
we are no longer speaking. Keanu is a genius. I mean, he can act AND be in a band at the same time. amazing.
Ok you're officially in denial. I'm not gonna assume his IQ level but he sounds really dumb when he talks. He would make you look like a ninny.
well he can do the voice overs at least...
LOL Yea, Keanu can be the voice of Disney animated Dan!
we never had it. weeeeeeee never had it.
Looks like Fred Savage is making the comeback of a lifetime to play the role of Brian!
OH, NO!
Yes! Yess! Yesss!
i would like to recast kevin james as brian...what do you think?
EVERYONE says that. Just because I'm a jokester slob who works at UPS doesn't mean...
Ok, fine--I submit.
you work at UPS?! wow! did i know that?
have you seen the comedy central special? he is a genius.
btw - i dont think hes sloppy. i think hes sexy. its always good to go a little sexier in casting, i think.
Are you saying Kevin James is sexier than me? I'll just throw myself on a picket fence...
ummm...sorry?
yeah I love Kevin James!!! he is SOOOO FUNNY.
I also love Artie Lange. I don't know why. haha i love funny guys
Artie Kills me. He's my hero.
yeah he's my hero too. I saw the E! show this weekend for the first time in years this weekend... and.. I love him.
I think Claire Danes or Julia Stiles. Although I'm not blonde...
aww...claire danes is lovely. i saw a pic of her lately and her hair is much blonder than i remember. she went red for my so-called-life. im sure we can convince her to dye whatever color is necessary.
Oh goodness....I don't even KNOW who would play me...Mike, be nice. :)
Although Jennifer Aniston would be a good choice. My friend Caitlin always tells me that "Rachel" from Friends and I are a lot alike. I don't see it (she is waaaay cuter), but hey, I'm not arguing.
I think I could kind of see that.
don't say it. i don't want to be her.
i know. my mouth is buttoned up tight.
how about a julia stiles/erika christensen combo?
duck, man, duck!
ugg i know i have the same mannerisms as JS. i DO NOT look like her. =*(
I think you may have EC's hair...
hers is much more volumnous
I would be played by Sandra Bullock probably.. everyone thought I looked JUST like her and that she acted JUST like me in The Net and that guy in a coma movie. Eh i duno. She's aight. Both of those movies she was a total loser, so that was kinda funny that everyone was like "you're just like her"
Angelina Jolie is way too hot and awesome to play me, unfortunately.
good one, kam. she was extra funny in miss congeniality but nothing beats love potion no. 9, although hope floats was a great movie as well. "you stink, jusin matisse"
yeah well i know a person that is your identical twin and it's scary. She's not an actress tho. She is polish tho...
i want to know who this person is
she lives in central jersey..
I'm from central jersey. Names names!
i was going to ask about the jolie. it doesnt matter if you think shes hotter. what matters is could she do the role?
all of my picks are thinner than me. hey, its a hollywood thing and you take what you can get. maybe the actress who plays me would be willing to put on some weight.
oh yeah, definitely. Jolie and I are clones of each other. Haha.. sort of
SoCalGal [Gina?] will be played by Robert Ridriguez film regular Danny Trejo!
http://imdb.com/name/nm0001803/
i was just about to tell you after two dead ons, you had the job of casting director but...um ok...youre fired.
Yeah that's seriously messed up.
C'monnn, this is all in good fun! I'll do REAL casting now, okay? I'm really good at it.
ok...seeings as its a free country and all, go ahead, but no more cutting up like that in my thread.
its all good. he keeps trying to tear up aviator as guilderbellsucks, hmm, through his immaturity and annoyance i wonder if he's guilderbellsucks himself.
well think about it. At least Socalgal wouldn't be played by Fernando Valenzuela which would easily be Fivezero.
That looks nothing like me!
http://espndeportes.espn.go.com/perfiles/fernandovalenzuela.html
That picture made me laugh very hard. I <3 him.
He looks like a communist dictater.
I heart those communist people!
They run a tight ship.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha its so true
its ok darling, this is just what i was talking about....so much angst, anger, insecurities....trying to cut peeps up. Keep it coming darling, its all good and i applaud you for trying.
but know this, i will ALWAYS win any match against you or anyone else Mr. Brian Valentine
its so hard to see how ppl really look -mannerisms and all- without seeing them in person. for socalgal: how do you feel about rosa blasi? or maybe christina or lisa vidal?
they are GORGEOUS, but there's hardly any resemblence. from my end, my friends make the comparison to beyonce, mostly for the booty but also because she's such a girl but with a little of that edgey ghetto in her (i must say i do have that)
rosa blasi is like that. tough as nails.
hmm...beyonce is downsizing the booty these days. sometimes she looks actually thin to me. its a tragedy.
Ok, ok! How about Michelle Rodriquez? Thats how I REALLY magine you.
haha Michelle "i'm so tough im' gonna break your face if you look at me again" Rodriguez?? SoCalGal is much cooler than her I believe :)
But looks-wise you're prolly closer than.. that guy.. heh
haha thanks hun. yeah she's TOO much....i dont' like her, plus i've met her in person and she's a snob.
you'd have to be played by madonna in mine. sorry if you don't like that.
shh dont tell mom but that is acceptable (if she gets some serious dermabrasion).
i could see you being played by reese witherspoon. i know lynz will hate it cuz she loves reese so much. but i defientely see it.
lynz i see being jeanne geraflo. that's the first thing that came to mind. but lynz is a lot tinier than her so i could see her being played by brittany murphy i think would also be good.
i liked reese witherspoon ever since i saw man in the moon and something else...wild rose? need to search imdb...a ha! wildflower! and later a far off place. i loved those movies. her look is a little petite for me, but who in hollywood isnt? did you see her revealed with jules asner interview? shes got the same willfull feminine thing i try to work and shes extroverted but introspective. totally like me. good pick.
i wish i knew you all better to pick. for lyndz, i would suggest winona ryder or rachael leigh cook. brittany murphy would be fabulous! i loved her on this disney channel sitcom: the torkelsons-almost home and shes in clueless. yeah!
Wow that wuz Reese in Wildflower, this I did not know.
Oh you totally nailed it Summer! I would pick Wynnona for myself.
I could see Reese for you (who I adore to pieces) especially after reading her article in Vanity Fair last night..she's such an awesome person.
Juuuullliiiieee are you trying to bring back the old thing where random people come up to me and go "wow..you look like Janine Garafalo" not knowing that like..everyone else calls me that?
Also..if I was starring in a movie I would be playing Anne Frank.
hahahahah. i love it. not being mean or anythign but i do find it funny.
actually hun, i figured out who you remind me of. have you ever seen that movie "beautiful girls" with matt dillon?? Natalie Portman portrays this young girl next door that is well beyond her years in how she views life etc. anyway, she's adorable and thats how i picture you
thats so accurate! wow lyndz there are ppl for you all over.
Aw..I heart Natalie Portman. I just read about her in Seventeen and I fell in love. She can play me any day!
Yeah she is awsome. As I'm sure most are aware of by now I think Natalie Portman rocks and of course I had to take this oppurtunity to say it again. lol
Ian Zabel would be played by Chris O'Donnel!
http://us.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0113729/1-7.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=O'Donnell,%20Chris%20(I)
yer gonna die
but chris o'donnel > dustin diamond, so i'll accept that
You said it, bruv.
did u just use the "greater than" symbol?
lol, oh come on, we all know he's a nerd (like me). Of COURSE that's a greater than symbol.
By the way, he's the coolest nerd I know.
i prefer Geek. haha
you know, my aunt and uncle really love you! We were talking yesterday about how great you and mikayla are.
:) thanks man. much love all around too
Yeah geek just has a better sound to it. lol
you bet i did!
def an upgrade from dustin diamond! congrats!
DAN HILL would be played by a cleaned up Eric Balfour!
http://imdb.com/gallery/granitz/1955/Events/1955/EricBalfou_Grays_1008200_400.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Balfour,%20Eric
Did you inform Derrek Jeter of this change yet?
Derek Jeter expressed no interest in playing the part of Dan Hill. Eric Balfour is a ripe age and has the same exact voice as HlDln. He'll certainly do.
WOW crazy raspy, it's definately unique. Side Point: makes all the comments he gives sound profound, LOL!
Look at Al Pacino! Rasp-o-matic.
i hate you all. i want to be played by KEANU!!!!!!!!!
great pick brian! i totally approve! what do i know this guy from? was he on seventh heaven?
eric is from 24 - he's Milo. I knew he looked familiar.
