Movies of Your Life

sunshyne by sunshyneOG 2004 · Aug 23, 2004 · 885 views

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!!!!!

juicymango #19.1 juicymangoOG 2003

well i think you're prettier than all of the above!!

fivezero #19.1.1 fivezeroOG 2003

me2

sunshyne #18 sunshyneOG 2004

rock supastar = jesse metcalfe

malibu #18.1 malibuOG 2001

are you crazy? this guy looks much more like carson daly than mike.

sunshyne #18.1.1 sunshyneOG 2004

but carson daly wont be in the movie of ezabel

malibu #18.1.1.1 malibuOG 2001

he could be but all we'd do would be to throw pies at him.

sunshyne #18.1.2 sunshyneOG 2004

also i thought he had a similar head shape to mike. but then again ive only seen mike twice, i think.

fivezero #18.2 fivezeroOG 2003

thats Miguel from Passions! what a hawty!

originalsnob #18.2.1 originalsnobOG 2004

How funny is this you know about Passions 'voice over' NBC's #1 daytime drama, this is rich!

suchgr8heights #18.2.1.1 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

me and bri were HOOKED for a season! It was NOT a good sitch.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

LOL that is SO funny!

forrestina #18.3 forrestinaOG 2002

has mike still not seen this?

sunshyne #18.3.1 sunshyneOG 2004

i dunno.

iwz #18.3.2 iwz

he hasn't even ventured into this thread

rocksupastar #18.4 rocksupastarFounder

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..

sunshyne #18.4.1 sunshyneOG 2004

hey...as if i actually look like anyone suggested to play me? no...the hollywood version is always sexier!

rocksupastar #18.4.1.1 rocksupastarFounder

haha, good point, i like his sideburns... i like mine too!

thefunkyfresh #18.5 thefunkyfreshFounder

yeah i see the resemblance, maybe if this guy put on 80 pounds

rocksupastar #18.5.1 rocksupastarFounder

u fag.... dont hate...

hunkpapap #17 hunkpapapOG 2003

Summer i think you could be played by angelica houston. I mean her younger self with a blond wig, but i could see that...

sunshyne #17.1 sunshyneOG 2004

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!
http://imdb.com/gallery/mptv/1028/Mptv/1028/10717_0001.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Huston,%20Anjelica

hunkpapap #17.1.1 hunkpapapOG 2003

now you see what i'm saying..

sunshyne #17.1.1.1 sunshyneOG 2004

youre saying you think i should go out with jack nicholson?

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003

hey if you can get him, why not?

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

he likes younger woman :P

aviator #16 aviatorOG 2004

well I would definitely be played by Dennis Osburn

hunkpapap #15 hunkpapapOG 2003

I would be played by Dean Cain...

hunkpapap #15.1 hunkpapapOG 2003

Or brendan fraser, i would let him play me...

sunshyne #15.1.1 sunshyneOG 2004

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.

suchgr8heights #15.1.1.1 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

None of the above! Brendan Fraser aka Encino Man

originalsnob #14 originalsnobOG 2004

Hopefully Zoe Saldana or Christina Milan*, I'd be fortunate if either. LUV Christina though, (tanto una dulce cubana como yo)

fivezero #14.1 fivezeroOG 2003

I'd recommend Zoe and NOT Christina. Zoe has proved herself in better movies that Christina has. Zoe is pretty good. Dominican too.

originalsnob #14.2 originalsnobOG 2004

If me and Zoe are secretly linked that so should have been me in Guess Who, lol!!!! *sighs* Ashton

jp #13 jpOG 2003

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

malibu #13.1 malibuOG 2001

hahahhaah. snoop dogg and you are one in the same. incidentally though, why does he have longer nails than i do?

fivezero #13.1.1 fivezeroOG 2003

aw, a babe as to badness. pimps have a couple long nails to distribute cocaine to themselves and their, um, employees.

malibu #13.1.1.1 malibuOG 2001

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.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

fivezero is right, it's for the drugs

perrin perrinOG 2004

Yeah they use them to measure them out. The long nails makes it easier.

thefunkyfresh #12 thefunkyfreshFounder

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

ilikebirds #12.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

no. you can be played by matthe lilliard

thefunkyfresh #12.1.1 thefunkyfreshFounder

how about bette midler?

iwz #12.1.1.1 iwz

how about dax from punk'd? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1009277/

malibu malibuOG 2001

or maybe justin timberlake?

perrin perrinOG 2004

HAHAHAHA. I could totally see that.

originalsnob originalsnobOG 2004

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

perrin perrinOG 2004

Foxitude, now there is a new one to me. hm.

ilikebirds #11 ilikebirdsOG 2002

Me.. probably brad pitt or tom cruise. tom cruise short.

ian sooo dustin diamond.

let the asian jokes begin

thatdarngirl #11.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

You can be played by Lucy Lu.

thefunkyfresh #11.2 thefunkyfreshFounder

you'll be played by the asian kid from the goonies and indiana jones temple of doom

specialk #11.3 specialkOG 2003

I think John Cho would be PERFECT!!!! (He's the guy from "Harold & Kumar Go TO White Castle"....and numerous other movies.) HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

http://www.tvtome.com/images/people/19/2/0-3423.jpg

superhero #10 superheroOG 2004

i will be played by keanu reeves, thank you

perrin #10.1 perrinOG 2004

Only in your dreams and maybe not even there. You just don't say dude enough. lol

suchgr8heights #10.2 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

Why? I think he's dumb.

superhero #10.2.1 superheroOG 2004

we are no longer speaking. Keanu is a genius. I mean, he can act AND be in a band at the same time. amazing.

suchgr8heights #10.2.1.1 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

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.

specialk #10.2.1.2 specialkOG 2003

Um, I think you mean he can ACT like he IS in a band. I understand the mix-up....I do it sometimes too. ;)

perrin perrinOG 2004

HAHAHAHAHA! NICE!

hunkpapap #10.3 hunkpapapOG 2003

well he can do the voice overs at least...

suchgr8heights #10.3.1 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

LOL Yea, Keanu can be the voice of Disney animated Dan!

aviator #10.3.1.1 aviatorOG 2004

we never had it. weeeeeeee never had it.

suchgr8heights #9 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

Looks like Fred Savage is making the comeback of a lifetime to play the role of Brian!

sunshyne #9.1 sunshyneOG 2004

fivezero #9.2 fivezeroOG 2003

OH, NO!

suchgr8heights #9.2.1 suchgr8heightsOG 2003

Yes! Yess! Yesss!

sunshyne #9.3 sunshyneOG 2004

i would like to recast kevin james as brian...what do you think?

fivezero #9.3.1 fivezeroOG 2003

EVERYONE says that. Just because I'm a jokester slob who works at UPS doesn't mean...

Ok, fine--I submit.

sunshyne #9.3.1.1 sunshyneOG 2004

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.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

Are you saying Kevin James is sexier than me? I'll just throw myself on a picket fence...

sunshyne sunshyneOG 2004

ummm...sorry?

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

yeah I love Kevin James!!! he is SOOOO FUNNY.

I also love Artie Lange. I don't know why. haha i love funny guys

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

Artie Kills me. He's my hero.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

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.

web-toedchloe #8 web-toedchloeOG 2001

I think Claire Danes or Julia Stiles. Although I'm not blonde...

sunshyne #8.1 sunshyneOG 2004

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.

specialk #7 specialkOG 2003

Oh goodness....I don't even KNOW who would play me...Mike, be nice. :)

specialk #7.1 specialkOG 2003

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.

perrin #7.1.1 perrinOG 2004

I think I could kind of see that.

hunkpapap #7.2 hunkpapapOG 2003

How about Celine Dion? That is all i can come up with at the moment...

specialk #7.2.1 specialkOG 2003

Can she act?

Hahaha.....you're like, the gazillionth person to compare me to her. I think it's the nose, hahahaha.

forrestina #6 forrestinaOG 2002

don't say it. i don't want to be her.

sunshyne #6.1 sunshyneOG 2004

i know. my mouth is buttoned up tight.

hunkpapap #6.2 hunkpapapOG 2003

how about a julia stiles/erika christensen combo?

sunshyne #6.2.1 sunshyneOG 2004

duck, man, duck!

forrestina #6.2.2 forrestinaOG 2002

ugg i know i have the same mannerisms as JS. i DO NOT look like her. =*(

hunkpapap #6.2.2.1 hunkpapapOG 2003

I think you may have EC's hair...

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

hers is much more volumnous

juicymango #5 juicymangoOG 2003

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.

sunshyne #5.1 sunshyneOG 2004

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"

hunkpapap #5.2 hunkpapapOG 2003

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...

juicymango #5.2.1 juicymangoOG 2003

i want to know who this person is

hunkpapap #5.2.1.1 hunkpapapOG 2003

she lives in central jersey..

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

I'm from central jersey. Names names!

superhero superheroOG 2004

HAHAHHA i think i know who it is...if it's who i am thinking of, she is HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

Say it NOW, or EZ message it to me.

sunshyne #5.3 sunshyneOG 2004

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.

juicymango #5.3.1 juicymangoOG 2003

oh yeah, definitely. Jolie and I are clones of each other. Haha.. sort of

fivezero #4 fivezeroOG 2003 stupid

SoCalGal [Gina?] will be played by Robert Ridriguez film regular Danny Trejo!
http://imdb.com/name/nm0001803/

sunshyne #4.1 sunshyneOG 2004

i was just about to tell you after two dead ons, you had the job of casting director but...um ok...youre fired.

perrin #4.1.1 perrinOG 2004

Yeah that's seriously messed up.

fivezero #4.1.1.1 fivezeroOG 2003

C'monnn, this is all in good fun! I'll do REAL casting now, okay? I'm really good at it.

sunshyne sunshyneOG 2004

ok...seeings as its a free country and all, go ahead, but no more cutting up like that in my thread.

socalgal #4.1.1.2 socalgalOG 2003

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.

aviator aviatorOG 2004

well think about it. At least Socalgal wouldn't be played by Fernando Valenzuela which would easily be Fivezero.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003
thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

That picture made me laugh very hard. I <3 him.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

He looks like a communist dictater.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

I heart those communist people!

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 thatdarngirl

They run a tight ship.

aviator aviatorOG 2004

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha its so true

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

WOW no wonder you have some serious issues

aviator aviatorOG 2004

Gina you rock my world with laughter sometimes :)

socalgal #4.2 socalgalOG 2003

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

sunshyne #4.2.1 sunshyneOG 2004

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?

socalgal #4.2.1.1 socalgalOG 2003

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)

sunshyne sunshyneOG 2004

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.

fivezero #4.3 fivezeroOG 2003

Ok, ok! How about Michelle Rodriquez? Thats how I REALLY magine you.

juicymango #4.3.1 juicymangoOG 2003

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

socalgal #4.3.1.1 socalgalOG 2003

haha thanks hun. yeah she's TOO much....i dont' like her, plus i've met her in person and she's a snob.

specialk #4.4 specialkOG 2003

DUDE!! What the heck? SO wrong......

socalgal #4.4.1 socalgalOG 2003

its cool, as anyone can see from my pic, i am FAR from manly

forrestina #3 forrestinaOG 2002

you'd have to be played by madonna in mine. sorry if you don't like that.

sunshyne #3.1 sunshyneOG 2004

shh dont tell mom but that is acceptable (if she gets some serious dermabrasion).

malibu #3.2 malibuOG 2001

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.

sunshyne #3.2.1 sunshyneOG 2004

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!

originalsnob #3.2.1.1 originalsnobOG 2004

Wow that wuz Reese in Wildflower, this I did not know.

thatdarngirl #3.2.1.2 thatdarngirlOG 2002

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.

thatdarngirl #3.2.2 thatdarngirlOG 2002

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.

malibu #3.2.2.1 malibuOG 2001

hahahahah. i love it. not being mean or anythign but i do find it funny.

socalgal #3.2.2.2 socalgalOG 2003

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

sunshyne sunshyneOG 2004

thats so accurate! wow lyndz there are ppl for you all over.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

Aw..I heart Natalie Portman. I just read about her in Seventeen and I fell in love. She can play me any day!

perrin perrinOG 2004

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

thatdarngirl #1.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

Did you inform Derrek Jeter of this change yet?

fivezero #1.1.1 fivezeroOG 2003

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.

originalsnob #1.1.1.1 originalsnobOG 2004

WOW crazy raspy, it's definately unique. Side Point: makes all the comments he gives sound profound, LOL!

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

Look at Al Pacino! Rasp-o-matic.

superhero #1.1.2 superheroOG 2004

sunshyne #1.2 sunshyneOG 2004

great pick brian! i totally approve! what do i know this guy from? was he on seventh heaven?

superhero #1.3 superheroOG 2004
