Who will film your life?

http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=11683900315001458180

My results:
Edward D. Wood, Jr.
Your film will be 49% romantic, 36% comedy, 29% complex plot, and a $36 million budget.
Ed Wood will get your film done waay under budget, and will likely make it into a classic film of all time for all the wrong reasons. Let's face it, your life isn't terribly exciting to begin with, and it needs some camping up. His resume includes classics such as Plan Nine From Outer Space and Glen or Glenda? He's not afraid to tackle controversial topics, and may insist on portraying a transvestite in your film even if you've never seen a transvestite before. He was immortalized in the Academy Award winning Tim Burton film, Ed Wood go see it.

I think a film of my life would be boring. Yes, boring. Just a string of fiascos. That's why I write (albeit with little success, thus far) to go beyond myself and my life, even if it always comes back to me like a mean boomerang. The only advantage to my so-called experiences is that I'm used to things going wrong , and that has turned out to be a useful quality on film sets.

How come your Bergman film costs $3 million more than mine?

Barton Fink got written very quickly, in about three weeks. I don't know what that means.

But, if someone did film my life, maybe Sergei Eisenstein. It would have to be a long, tedius, pretentious, and excrucitatingly trite tale that even the protagonist finds tiresome, drearily presented in the medium of film.

Wow, look at that line-up! Looks like we'll have to beat them back with sticks.

I got Roger Corman.
I think I'm insulted. Either that, or I should be surrounded by more topless women.
Or both.
