In a very close and honorable second place came Julian’s “I’ll feel like a real adult when…the last of the ketchup bottle makes a fart noise and I don’t laugh.” Julian your parents would proud!
Thank you to everyone for their amazingly Groan Up answers. Can’t wait to see who wins this weeks…
a dark comedy starring zach braff as himself in an existential indy flick where the storyline revolves around Zach realizing that he is playing himself. Essentially, it’s a movie with a lot of work and zero progression.
Julian! Well said sir. I think you might have something here. I’ll have my people call Zach’s people and see if we can’t get something going
… a flick that starts out as an intentionally hilarious Rom Com, then transitions abruptly, unsanctimoniously, and devoid of cinematic pinache into a rather Truman-Show-esque documentary with unintentionally humorous foibles and meager levels of redemption. But I find $20 as the credits roll.
Emily, I would definitely go watch this movie, especially if I also could find $20 at the end. Sounds like 500 Days of Summer meets Truman Show meets Super Size Me – without the fast food. Let me know when you want to write the script…
“Legally Blonde” meets “Salt” with a dash of “Forrest Gump” – all played by Freida Pinto
Naomi – love it! This is mix of sweetness better than a bag of M&M’s. And you know how much I love M&M’s. Sounds like your 20’s have been one adventurous ride!
Let’s just call it “50 First Dates” … nuff said 😉
Ha! Jocelyn I can’t exactly remember that one but if I know my romantic comedies, I’m pretty sure the ending is going to be worth watching
The Gods Must Be Crazy
Will – If you’re playing the lead role on this one, I’m buying a ticket.
Wouldn’t want to do my 20s again – ask my friends.
Cathy – Not sure if people are going to come out in droves for this one 🙂
This is a tough one. Some times when I go on a mission trip I feel like it’d be something along the lines of Blood Diamond or War/Dance, something interesting and intense. Other times it’s like one of those films I wouldn’t even recommend watching, one of those goofy buddy comedy’s like “Without A Paddle” or perhaps “Dumb and Dumberer”. Not Dumb and Dumber, it’s been funny but not that funny. Though I wish I had that dog van.
How about Dumb and Dumber dog van meets Blood Diamond? I see Sundance winner…
If my 20s were a movie, they would be:
Around the World In 80 Days
Traveling the world, always staying one step ahead of trouble and the law, and I am pretty sure there were people taking bets along the way to see if I would make it through the end 🙂
Houri thanks for the great comment and comparison. I’m betting $20 you do. Any takers??
My twenties have been one of those indie flicks where you spend the whole film waiting for something interesting to happen, but nothing does. You walk out of the theater thinking not about the great plot and soundtrack but rather if you have enough clean socks left or need do a load of laundry.
Overall, I feel like too much of life is spent waiting for something to happen instead of making things happen. Maybe I’ll have the courage in my thirties. :o)
Alissa you also encapsulated the 20-struggle extremely well and I know I’ve definitely had those times (ok most my 20’s) where I’ve felt the exact same way. Am I going to be an active participant in my own future or just a spectator? While I think I know the answer, many of the time my life doesn’t reflect…
How many of us are going through our 20’s living intentionally unintentional lives…??
The 20’s so far haven’t been Knocked Up! Hahaha 😉
But seriously, they’ve been a bit of The Hangover, some He’s Just Not That Into You, and a whole LOT of Runaway Bride (cuz commitment is a scary thing!)
