I'm Ready For My Close Up

Verbatim always has fun stuff and so I've copied from her once again. I answered all the questions (some weird ones here) honestly and found my director:


Sofia Coppola:Your film will be 55% romantic, 29% comedy, 37% complex plot, with a $33 million budget. Relatively inexperienced (The Virgin Suicides, Lost In Translation) as a director, but already highly respected and connected -- her dad, Francis, directed all The Godfather movies, Apocolypse Now. Also, at last word she's dating Quentin Tarantino, so I'm sure he'll have some input into the substance of your film. Sofia's good at making the romantic drama that is your life. Who didn't have at least a lump in the throat at the end of Lost In Translation? She's already won one Academy Award for her writing, now she'll be the first woman to receive one for directing -- YOUR FILM!

Then I answered the questions the way I wish I could (e.g. rags to riches life) and I got a new director:

Penny Marshall: Your film will be 62% romantic, 37% comedy, 33% complex plot, with a $41 million budget. Your romantic comedy-drama of a life is now in the hands of Laverne. We almost put Ron Howard in this spot, but we figured you wouldn't want the part of your dad played by Ron's little brother Clint (who's in EVERY one of his films). Penny will hire Squiggy, instead. She directed A League Of Their Own, Big, Awakenings, and Riding In Cars With Boys among few others.

I, for one, did NOT have a tear in my eye at the end of Lost in Translation. In fact I think I might have been trying to tear my eyes out by the end. Either that or my eyes were closed I was snoring.

Sofia is going to direct my movie too. I guess that means my life is, like Lost in translation, boring and pointless and yet inexplicably admired by many.

John Waters
Your film will be 65% romantic, 53% comedy, 33% complex plot, and a $ 31 million budget.
Filmography: Hairspray, Cry Baby, Pecker, A Dirty Shame, Serial Mom, Polyester, Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, Mondo Trasho, and more. Hopefully your entire life happened in Baltimore, Maryland, because that is where your life story will take place with John Waters at the helm. Your mother will be played either by a large transvestite or Kathleen Turner ... oh, the levels of irony! Anyway, we hope your life was full of pleasant scents because your movie will be released in Smell-O-Vision like his movie Polyester (1981), but will likely not have any dog-poop-eating such as in Pink Flamingos (1972). Johnny Depp will play your uncle.

I want Depp to play my uncle!
