I don't know about Schwartzman ...

A while back, I posted on a message board that I thought Jason Schwartzman (sp?) would be the perfect actor to play me in a movie. Firstly, that would be one boring ass movie. Secondly, though he looks nothing like me, after watching the movie SHOPGIRL over the weekend, I'm even more convinced he would do me justice. Yes, I know he's just an actor, and it has more to do with the actual roles he plays, but for some reason, every character he portrays has some eerie similarities to myself. (or at least how I view myself.) Now that I think about it, that makes me sound pretty pathetic. Ah, well, why live in denial, right?

Anyway, Shopgirl now features one of my favourite lines in a movie. Unfortunately, I can't recall the line (I'm not at home with my dvds at the moment). But there's a scene where the Schwartzman character tells the Claire Danes character that he's designing a font for her. A font that she inspired in him. I don't know about Schwartzman, but that's something I would totally do.( and have done.)

I'll find that quote when I'm back home.
