Who are you like?

[hitmonlee]

not who do you look like, but an actual character, in a book or film
who have you seen on screen that is a reflection of how you see yourself?

[Zach]

Anyone that whom upon mentioning will instantly get me laid

[Jet Set Willy]

Samuel Vimes from Discworld apparently. That's other (real life) people's opinions, not mine.

[Nick]

I can't say. If I did have a character like that, I couldn't live up to it :)

I think a more...proper, perhaps, question would have been how do you see each other? I remember there was a thread a while ago where we posted images of characters we thought resembled each other...well, just like that, only with text and movie/book relations. I don't know if anyone would take that 'seriously, however.

[hitmonlee]

i'm asking people how they see themselves
have you identified strongly with any particular characters?

[El Fugitivo]

The generic, but still relevant answer for me would be Holden Caulfield from Catcher In The Rye. It's by no means a perfect match, but it's the best I can come up with off the top of my head.

[Codeine]

Maybe that kid from the Donnie Darko movie :unsure:

[Jet Set Willy]

When I'm looking at myself negatively, I'm a lot like Seymour from Ghost World. But then I'm different too. Maybe a cross between Vimes and Seymour.

[El Fugitivo]

When I'm conscious of my physical fitness, or conscious of being overly self-conscious, I see myself as the kid from Angus.

I relate alot to characters who are somewhat anti-social, or simply alone. I've always had a hard time making friends, so making the transition from high school to college, having to start all over socially, was incredibly difficult for me.


Uh...I don't know who else. Lots really. Judge Reinhold's character in Fast Times At Ridgemont High sometimes. The jewish kid from Dazed And Confused who hung out with the redhead and the other nerd-type kid reminds me alot of how I felt towards the end of high school.

I read about this guy today, and decided that I am just like him, even the way I look.

[belmont]

Peter Parker from Spiderman,without the mask of course.
Same studies,some everyday problems...

it would have to be the blue fish from Dr. Seuss's 'One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue fish'

[Splize]

I'd have to say James Bond because of my charming looks and myself being a babe magnet after all.

[Motoko]

I would say Rachel from Friends 'cos then I could play with my boobs and other stuff.

[slbrown]

did you just watch it on TBS?
well i just did. haha Joey is so stupid.

[ScotchGuy]

No, I think you're the only one here who watches Friends, and yes you should be ashamed.

[Motoko]

But I can still touch my boobs right?

[slbrown]

its on right after seinfield im too lazy to change the channel. its not that bad. i consider it the good looking senfield. its basically like senfield expect with better looking people that can actually find acting work. but it will never be funnier than the great one.

[ScotchGuy]

Motoko: Yes.

Slbrown: NEIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't ever compare Friends with Seinfeld, ever, they're not even in the same field as Seinfeld.

[slbrown]

lol same-field, sein-feld

That's exactly what Friends is: an image friendly version of genius.

Mimics of classic shows are not the same thing, you know. . .

[Badger]

People say I look like Daniel Bedingfield... Given he is a twat, I do not look like him.

[KidneyKai]

I thought everyone said you were Dolph Lundgren?!
There's a big difference between him and Daniel Bedingfield.

I watch Friends daily, but only because it's cheerful. Then I watch Everybody Loves Raymond.

[TGS]

Friends used to be good. They canceled Everybody loves Raymond and Seinfeld here, fucking retarded Dutch.

[slbrown]

i never seen everyone loves raymond. and alos i don't speak english only american. their kinda close but not the same. kinda like Mexican spanish and Cuban Spanish.

[Jet Set Willy]

No, you speak American English. Cutting out a few "U"s and using Z instead of S in a bunch of words does not constitute a new language.

[slbrown]

sarcasm

[hitmonlee]

oh yeah i watch friends too, there's only a few episodes left and i need closure.

raymond i haven't been able to stomach for about a year.
