Movie Madness
1. If your life were a movie, what would the title be?
"Life as a Mut."
2. What songs would be on the soundtrack?
'Popcorn' by Hot Butter, 'I don't believe any more' by Icehouse, 'Unwell' by Matchbox 20, 'One Perfect Day' by Little Heroes, 'Magic Carpet Ride' by Steppenwolf, 'What Is Love?' by Howard Jones', 'Clocks' by Coldplay, 'Skateaway' by Dire stratis, 'A good heart' by Feargal Sharkey, 'At seventeen' by Janis Ian, 'Fly Like An Eagle' by The Steve Miller Band, 'Bother' by Corey Taylor, 'Luv your Life' by Silverchair, 'Eleanor Rigby' by The Beatles, 'Drift Away' by The Dobie Brothers, 'ROCKARIA!' by Electric Light Orchestra, 'Somebody Else' by Bleu and... well, whatever else feels apropriate for that part of my life.
3. Would it be a live-action film or animated? Why?
Animated, definitely. My life would look that much better if it were animated. Probably with a fair few scenes done in a sort of sepia monochrome, for those parts of my life story that mainly involve sitting still for long periods of time, and some more vibrant colours for times when the movie disolves into Roleplaying. Besides - My life is better suited to the exadurated emotions of Animation.
4. Casting: who would play you, members of your family, friends, etc?
Well, since we're going to be animated, it's the voice actors that are important. And ya know what? We're gonna cast for actors who are GOOD VOICE-ACTORS and, more importantly, actually sound right. Hell, I may even voice myself ^_^.
5. Describe the movie preview/trailer.
A black screen comes up, with some moving, jittering rough-typed text that eventually solidifyes itself into 'I always wanted to be someone...'. Fade to an animated screen of a face staring out of the window of a bus that bounces along the road. The bus stops in the city as an alarm sounds from a nearby shop, and I (In my animated form) mush out of the doors of the bus, almost getting squished between them again. She wears a baggy jacket but, because I actually want to give people a REASON to come see this movie, I'm wearing a miniskirt and knee-high boots or somesuch. a light mist of rain falls as she walks off, folowed by a dog painted green leading a clown on rollerblades. Black screen again. The text jitters and eventually forms '...But I see now I should have been more specific about that.'
A few quick flashes of other unrelated parts of the movie as some of the violins form 'Eleanor Rigby' play in the background, and some of the actual interesting and/or heartwarming parts of my life get played. Okay, probably all. Pause for a moment - Silent shot of Myself and Some other characters sitting on a school bench. I pull out chocolate bar after chocolate bar out of my pocket. The other person just watches, shocked.
Go to title screen - letters jitter a litle more, before forming the movie title - 'Life as a Mut' (The OTHER kind of bitch).
Cut back to the bench - Other character (Probably Zoe) - "I have no Idea how you fit that many chocolate bars into your pocket." Another character (One of the Michelle's perhaps) - "I have no Idea where she puts it when she's eaten it!"
Cut to the 'In cinema's' screen.
And now, some lyrics...
Follow You Follow Me by Genesis
Stay with me,
My love I hope you'll always be
Right here by my side if ever I needed you
Oh my love
In your arms,
I feel so safe and so secure
Everyday is such a perfect day to spend
Alone with you
I will follow you will you follow me
All the days and nights that we know will be
I will stay with you will you stay with me
Just one single tear in each passing year
With the dark,
I see so very clearly now
All my fears are drifting by me so slowly now
Fading away
I can say
The night is long but you are there
Close at hand I'm better for the smile you give
And while I live
I will follow you will you follow me
All the days and nights that we know will be
I will stay with you will you stay with me
Just one single tear in each passing year there will be
