Most Awesome Meme Ever!!!
AWESOME meme nabbed from littlehutt.
You have to choose the actors who will play:
*Yourself (alias the main character)
*The true love
*The "mistake"
*The true love's best friend
*The rival
*Mom
*Dad
*Sister/brother (or both)
*The best friend
*The best gay friend
*The pet
*The city
And now you have to choose your personal soundtrack, of course:
*Opening credits
*Falling in love
*The kiss
*Sex
*The break-up
*The psychological breakdown
*Shopping with friends
*The getting back together
*Ending credits
I must reinforce that these picks were majorly based on demeanor instead of looks. Come on, I have zero delusions about the mere mortals in my life (including myself) remotely resembling these pretty, pretty actors! *lol* Although I did try to stick by similar biotypes while casting, I mean, like hair colour, body shape, height, etc. I know, I’m a geek :)
Without further ado the "stars" of this totally indie flick...
::Players::
Yes, I like her. And yes, I overshower her with attention. What can I say for myself? I dig her acting chops, I dig her musical career, and I appreciate her apparent personality. After all was said and done I couldn’t picture another person other than Zooey to play me.
Since I have yet to meet my one true love *laughs at the density of said statement* I had no parameters whatsoever to go by here. So, I picked Ben. He was brilliant in I’m Not There, and played well Grenouille in an okay-ish film adaptation of one of my favourite books: Perfume. I guess he seems like the type of guy I’d really go for: dark hair, light-coloured eyes, kinda skinny, sort of geek-ish, not extremely handsome but not bad-looking either… and so on. I’ll shut up now ;)
Oh, boy… Patrick certainly fits the mistake type. From my somewhat limited, recently turned 24 years of life experience, “mistakes” are most likely more handsome than “true loves”; so, I applied that knowledge here *lol* One of My real life mistake was also blonde with light-coloured eyes, ‘though I don’t consider him a mistake anymore. At the time I had regrets, but nowadays I have a different perspective of things. Nothing like time, huh? Anyhow, Patrick is a fine actor. I liked his performance in Purple Violets, and Evening, not so much in Phantom of the Opera ‘though, but I suspect it has something to do with my sympathy for the phantom *lol*
What can I say? Rodrigo is <3. The guy appears to be such a gentleman: kind, considerate, humble, sweet, cultured, talented… This type of guy would be a great influence for a potential true love. Unlike the usual bffs of regular men :) Anyway, Rodrigo was great in Não Por Acaso.
I was going to pick a bimbo type, you know, the type you love to hate. But then I thought: how could she barely be a remote rival if she was a mindless bimbo? I mean, how could my *true love* be even the slightest interested in someone like that? With that Natalie came to mind (excellent in many movies, especially Closer). A rival to truly match. Of course, in the end, I would win (this is my movie after all *lol*), and victory would be even sweeter *lol*
Kathy Baker was my first and definite choice. What a gracious lady (and underrated actress)!. Who better to play my dearest mom? They share the same sweetness and serene ways. Although my mom is a brunette (yeah, I disrespected my own biotype rule here, sue me) and has even shorter hair (like Mia Farrow’s in Rosemary’s Baby).
How cool Bill as my dad, huh? My dad and Murray have extensive similar characteristics: brutally blunt (to a point that sometimes is even a bit embarrassing around company), comic but also serious, and heavily ironic/sarcastic. My dad is shorter ‘though, and practically shaves his head.
I gotta say that Hollywood really has a shortage on chubbier actresses. I found myself with lack of choices. But I’m happy with Melissa. She captures the irreverence, vivaciousness, and outspoken nature of my sister. In all fairness McCarthy is a bit heavier than my sister. You’re welcome, sis (it’s really true) ;)
Alexandra Maria Lara is an impressive young actress! For Control, and I Really Hate My Job (which I must be one of three people in the whole wild world who thought it was unbelievably great, and charming, and had super funny parts, but also had introspective ones that were really amazing, and a million things more) she deserves the part of my best friend. She even looks a bit like her. I mean, my bff (one of them, the one who’s a couple years older than I am; the other one will come next) dyes her hair blonder that Alexandra’s, but her original hair is just like hers: light brown. Jeez, how I babble! :D
I really like Amelia’s acting. Especially in Alpha Male (and Winter Passing). So I thought of her to play my other best friend (the brunette one). Both have a peculiar attitude, I guess.
Yes, I also have a best guy friend (I swear this is the last one, I only have three best friends who I cannot say which one is the “bestest”)! I couldn’t leave him out. Henry is more handsome than my male bff, but is sort of difficult to find a man who is more handsome than Henry *swoons* I don’t watch The Tudors, but now that I know he is in it, maybe I should start *lol* Anyway, they share a coolness and laid-back awesomeness, besides a great sense of humour, tallness, and hair colour.
I don’t actually have one in real life, but if I had I wish it was someone like Marc-André. A cool, suave, chic and kinda indie-ish sort of guy. I really enjoyed him in Le Premier Jour Du Reste De Ta Vie.
I’ve always wanted a gremlin. And my movie would be so cool that I would actually have one. But it would have to be a good one like Gizmo (soo cute!) instead of one of those evil, scary, ugly ones :D
I’m not picky. I just wish the city I lived had a lake and/or a beach. I would be even more satisfied if the place I lived had a view to the water. I love those.

opening credits
i. just looking//stereophonics
there's things i want
there's things i think i want
there's things i've had
there's things i wanna have
do i want the dreams?
the ones we're forced to see
…
they say the more you fly
the more you risk your life
but i'm just looking, i'm not buying
i'm just looking, it keeps me smiling
falling in love
ii. amie//damien rice
nothing unusual, nothing strange
close to nothing at all
the same old scenario, the same old rain
and there's no explosions here
then something unusual, something strange
comes from nothing at all
the kiss
iii. to make you feel my love//bob dylan
the storms are raging on the rollin' sea
and on the highway of regret
the winds of change are blowing wild and free
you ain't seen nothing like me yet
i could make you happy
make your dreams come true
nothing that i wouldn’t do
go to the ends of the earth for you
to make you feel my love
sex
iv. soul meets body//death cab for cutie
and i cannot guess what we'll discover
when we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
but i know our filthy hands can wash one another’s
and not one speck will remain
and i do believe it’s true
that there are roads left in both of our shoes
but if the silence takes you
then i hope it takes me too
so brown eyes i hold you near
‘cause you’re the only song i want to hear
a melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
where soul meets body
the break-up
v. other towns and cities//camera obscura
drinking whiskey reminds me of you
you’re the first in ages to have gotten through
i know you mean well
yes, i know that you do
but sooner or later you’re going to break me in two
and still i want to tell you that i love you the best
…
do you like the view i show you?
oh, i say look at the light
do you still miss the way that i hold you?
in other towns and cities
who’s holding you tonight?
the dresses came out of the bag, then the tears came
and drinking has never been the same again
i shared your trouble, i shared your weight
i lost it with you today
and we don’t share a birthday, we do share a sign
and we shared something
or was it in my mind?
the psychological breakdown
vi. november//azure ray
so i'm waiting for this test to end
so these lighter days can soon begin
i'll be alone but maybe more carefree
like a kite that floats so effortlessly
i was afraid to be alone
now i'm scared that’s how i'd like to be
all these faces none the same
how can there be so many personalities?
so many lifeless empty hands
so many hearts in great demand
and now my sorrow seems so far away
until i'm taken by these bolts of pain
but i turn them off, and tuck them away
'till these rainy days that make them stay
and then i'll cry so hard to these sad songs
and the words still ring, once here now gone
and they echo through my head everyday
and i don’t think they'll ever go away
just like thinking of your childhood home
but we can’t go back we're on our own
oh, but i'm about to give this one more shot
and find it in myself
i'll find it in myself
shopping with friends
vii. all this beauty//the weepies
all this beauty
you might have to close your eyes
and slowly open wide
all this beauty, we traveled all night
we drank the ocean dry
and watched the sun rise
i can see your new awake
let me assure you friend
every day is ice cream, and chocolate cake
and what you make of it, let me say
you get what you take from it
so be amazed
and never stop, never stop, never stop
the getting back together
viii. guess it may//rosie thomas
i’m still learning what love is
every time you look at me that way
i’m still trying to figure out just how
you can still look at me the same
guess it may
guess it may
guess it may
guess it may
it may always be this way
even though i may not get it right
all the time, i will always try
and i will always stand right by your side
ending credits
ix. ordinary day//emilie mover
i see the sun beam the perfect ray
i wanna send out a gazillion bouquets
i hear the chords that resonate
it's just another
oh, oh, oh, ordinary day
aoooh, aoooh
i look from your eyes
down to your lips
i feel it from my toes down to my fingertips
i see the clouds shake
a sweet aray
…
and we can sit there
beside the hills
maybe we'll notice that the world is standing still
some things may go and
some stay the same
in just another
oh, oh, oh, ordinary day
