I don't know anything about the movie DERAILED, other than it takes place in Chicago and it apparently was recently released in theaters or on pay per view or on DVD...I don't really know.

BUT.

Someone at work came in yesterday and told me he had something I needed to see. He had a little portable DVD player at his desk, and he queued up this DERAILED movie to a scene at Chicago's Union Station METRA stop, where one of the main actors (someone I didn't recognize) is getting off the train and a bunch of people are rushing out of the train behind him.

And who do you think is one of the people who stomps his way past the actor in this scene?



ME!!!

It was my walk, my hair, my face. It was me!

Then my co-worker played it again for me and I got MORE weirded out. I've never been to a METRA station. If I'd been filmed as a movie extra, I'd certainly remember it. And the guy's clothes, while they look like stuff I'd wear, weren't anything I own.

But THE GUY LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE ME.

I must find this film extra. I think there are pod people being grown in Chicago.

The shit's insane.


(a thousand thanks to MIGUELGOMEZ for the screengrabs!)

tell me about it. usually when shows me someone they think looks like me, i'm all "yeah, we both have brown eyes and we both have a shitty look on our face. whoopee." but the first time he showed me the clip, the first thing i said was, "yup, that's me." it was a true mindfuck.

be careful. legends of dopplegangers tell us if you meet face to face one of you will implode

i wonder if i found the guy and met him if we'd have a fist fight like they do on TV? i'd pull on his chin to try to pull his mask off and discover that it's joan collins in disguise.

or maybe find out that people are using a small door to access your brain and live your life, like in 'being john malkovich'

XxAxX said:

so you were filmed without your permission? can't you sue for that???

well, i could, but i'm fairly certain it's not me!

i'm going to try to do a screengrab from the DVD. you all who know what i look like are going to FREAK OUT.

Anx said:

Based on my success as an extra in "Derailed", I've been asked to star in another edgy action movie called "Snakes on a Train".

I think I'm gonna go for it!

I know i have a few twins in the US. One lives in Chicago. One lives here or used to.

hey i have that movie...explain to me what the you-dude is wearing.


i want to check it out.

he's wearing a black jacket and khaki pants, and he has really short brown hair that's buzzed in the back, and he's only in the scene for 2 or 3 seconds, but you get a really good look at him as they show people filing out of the metra train...i'll have to netflix this myself so i can find it.

superspaceboy said:

If you pause it, it should.

My sister thought she met her doppleganger at work once, it was really weird. She said the girl looked so much like her it was uncanny and they were both in the same profession which is even more eerie. She didnt approach her though.

Anx said:

The program that enables you to watch the DVD on your laptop usually has a capture button(snapshot button). Pause the DVD. Take the snapshot. It usually downloads to MY PICTURES or MY DOWNLOADS. You have to choose.

I may rent it tonight. I'll post the pix.

I suspect time travel, or crossing over into an alternate reality without knowing it...

they didn't include the character of "anx's doppelganger" in the credits.

i wonder if this'll end up like that one episode of dynasty where krystle had to beat up her look-alike. that'd be funny: "omg, anxy, stop beating yourself up!!!!"
