If a movie were made of your life, what type of movie do you think it would be? (poll coming, assuming I can figure out how to do that here) ---

Legal thriller if the screenwriter didn’t feel _too_ bound by, you know, the facts. ---

I went with something else (porn). ---

Too early to tell if it’s a tragedy. ---

Slacker movie with some nerdy computer stuff. ETA: i t would be a very boring film, except for the part when I and one of my buddies watch TV together. Think a more sophisticated Beavis and Butthead. ---

Oh, and I forgot: best thing would be the soundtrack. ---

I voted “dramady”. Parts have been quite tragic but I have a tendency to laugh my way through and some melodramatic, weeper wouldn’t seem accurate. ---

I could also imagine a kind of remake of “High Fidelity”, this time mostly revolving around streaming music from the net instead of a record shop. There are no record shops left anyway. ---

A Wes Anderson film. That’s a genre unto itself. ---

Docudramedorn (docu-dramedy/porn), with an astounding soundtrack.
