I am sure we all are movie buffs. But if you had a (rare) chance to be the main character of your favorite movie...who would you like to be? And why?

I have always love "24". So, I wouldn't mind being Jack Bauer. The in-your-face-fighting-against-terrorism hero. Because, we could use him right about now!

William Shakespeare's As You Like It-Monologue :

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.

They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.

Then, the whining school-boy with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow.


Then, a soldier,
Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden, and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation..

Even in the cannon's mouth. And then, the justice,
In fair round belly, with a good capon lined,
With eyes severe, and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws, and modern instances,
And so he plays his part.


The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered Pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side..

His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything...



My Character Would Be: Me, Myself, And I...Reality is better than fiction!

Well, from the looks from your profile picture. I am sure you will do just fine. Love Animal House, a true classic.

It could be him but then again I read this and thinking maybe the issue was with her when she married James Cameron...hard to say. dunno "In an October 2005 appearance on Larry King Live, Hamilton told the audience that she has bipolar disorder, which she said destroyed her marriage to Abbott, whom she admitted having abused verbally and physically, and eventually sought treatment."

Geriatrix2: Quasimodo the Hunchback Notre Dame.




From the 1939 movie. Charles Laughton as Quasimodo next to Maureen O'Hara as Esmeralda. They do not make movies like this anymore.
