...who would it be - and why? I'm not talking about who you'd love to play (as in acting). I mean who would you want to be in real life.

I have always wanted to be Nora Charles (The Thin Man) because:

A. neverending cocktails

B. wealthy

C. handsome, intelligent husband who excels at witty banter

D. fabulous wardrobe

E. despite having all of the above, still down-to-earth

Looking at that list, I think johnart would probably want to be Nora Charles, too.

After the Thin Man was on my local public television station yesterday afternoon. There's a scene in that where the Charleses return home to California and Asta sees that Mrs. Asta has had puppies. They all look like him - 'til an all-black terrier pup comes out of the doghouse. Just then, the black Scotty from next door sticks his head under the fence, whereupon Asta runs over and fills in the hole under the fence.

I thought, "Oh, sure - blame the black dog!"

Only for a short while, but I'd like to be Damiel. So beautifully tragic and well dressed

Loved that movie.

Did you see the remake with Nicolas Cage

James Bond- the Sean Connery years.

I did. And I liked it - until I saw Wings of Desire.

I was likewise disgusted by No Reservations with Catherine Zeta-Jones. The German film it's based on - Mostly Martha - is about a zillion times better.

And can tap dance on sand. Don't forget that part.

angelina jolie in tomb raider. i'd emulate her lifestyle, given the chane. especially that free form bungee cord jumping in the foyer bit from tomb raider..

^ for a "extreme/imperfect" real life, kind of "world gone to shit" scenario

and for REAL, "happy" life

^ a top FBI agent who can get things done, intelligent, and grumpy, but fair and secretly charming...

I like the one where Asta pulls Nora so hard, she lands on her face while trying to get to Nick. Oh and also the scene where Nick is playing with the pop gun Nora gave him for Christmas and Asta is trying to catch the balloons.

Alright...I had to give this some thought.

I can't decide between these two;

and

Bruce Wayne/Batman because;

• filthy rich
• kicks ass
• awesome toys
• makes the world a better place
• saw everything he owned burn to the ground and didn't give a fuck

Korben Dallas (The Fifth Element for you non-fans) because;

• kicks ass
• travels around the galaxy
• coolest muthafucka this side of Jupiter
• saved the world from destruction
• banged Leeloo (the fuckin' SUPREME BEING y'all)

I love the boozy beginning of that scene.

Is there a character with less issues than me that lives in a nice warm climate (without insects!) that has a great job she loves to do that pays well enough to travel as much as she likes. Has a nice inner city apartment walking distance to everything, lots of friends that often hang out together. That has a lot of fun?

If love is an adventure, it's one yet to be embarked upon by Kenya Denise McQueen(Sanaa Lathan). A beautiful L.A. career woman, Kenya works as senior manager at a prestigious accounting firm, and is on the verge of making partner.

the character has wonderful supportive friends. she is very intelligent with great parents. only one catch-plot, she falls in love with a man outside of her race.

however, imo the strength of this character reflects a successful new partner attorney choosing her freedom to live life in a way that's best for her. (you'll have to see it. i enjoyed.)
