spin-off: describe the movie of your life
 

from the chat thread.

So mine is like some horror movie but instead of people who act like monsters it's monsters who act like people. So I grow up, a human amongst monsters who are disguised as people and treat me like shit.

And then I grow up and realize not all people are monsters disguised as people but then I find out I am also a monster disguised as a person.

And then I guess that's the end, perhaps a sequel TBA

Does the movie have to have a climax and resolution?

Unwatchable mumblecore shit

i mean that would probably be good but since we are still alive perhaps we are not there yet

although maybe its a really shitty movie

Men in Black?

mine would be a biopic by werner herzog. two-thirds of the film would consist of me alone in my condo not wearing pants.

but more rape and beatings

it would be gus van sant movie. but then again that probably applies to most 'normal' people's lives

David Lynch or Lars von Trier. basically 140 minutes not making any sense.

This is pretty much me and M (well when we live together which we used to more) but without the alcohol and cigarettes. It would be mainly scenes like this of two self obsessed and neurotic people. Tragicomedy. I mean you can't really have a film of just me on my own anwyay. Not unless you go all black and white art house with inner monologue...but who wants to see this shit.

If you're doing my whole life from the beginning though, then i don't know.

that movie looks sorta rad

It is.

It's one of my favorite. It's super cult in the UK (and nowadays probably everywhere) but i think a lot of people enjoy it more for the alcoholic bits. Which are great but i'm more into the neurotic self obsessed thing. Nowadays i just like to read the script.

I wanted to ******* the opening diner scene that precedes this one but couldn't get both in one on youtube.

Here's a trailer that I wrote for the movie of my life, when I was 12. It wasn't a movie about my actual life; you will see that quite clearly. It was a movie about my fantasy life.

{voice over}They called her....Emma "don't drop shot me" [surname] (shot of me returning a drop shot)....they called him....Chris "don't mess with me" [surname](shot of him making a fierce face)....together, their talent and passion made them THE BEST MIXED DOUBLES TEAM EVER (shots of us playing tennis and winning, fist pumping etc.). BUT....can their complicated relationship survive THE HEAT? (shots of us in various anguished moments - and a shot of me crying out "I don't know if you're my coach or my boyfriend!")

I think that's as far as I managed to write, actually....it sort of covered the ground I was hoping would need to be covered....

My life would probably be a goofy-ass comedy with a clumsy lead, who manages to overcome the pressure of following her relatives' career to live her own offbeat and quirky life.
It would also have some romantic comedy aspects and have genuine feelz every now and then, almost as if there was a "Friends" film that centered around Phoebe.

isn't this the chat board

the movie of my life would be a short film of a man having coffee then killing himself with a revolver

Probably a cross between Being John Malkovich and an Alexander Shulgin documentary, for me.

can we pick just one time period in our life? otherwise it's going to be all Linklater "when I was born" 6 hours film marathon.

that's my film, couple of years ago.

I imagine my move is written and directed by David Cronenberg.

does anybody like mumblecore? I've tried watching Tiny Furniture several times and it makes want to smash my television

^

totally normal reaction to this piece of shit

Like i understand the point of his films but fuck Michael snow

my life is a porno with hella asian lesbos lickin n lovin

I am basically Charlie Brown...nice to everyone, constantly gets shat upon, perpetual bad luck, when I accomplish something no one cares, and when I fail people line up to criticize me.

So yeah, the most depressing angsty dramedy imaginable.
