If you were in a movie, would you play the hero, villian or bumbling side-kick?

The other day we were watching the Simpsons and they had an episode where Hollywood turned Homer Simpson into a TV show. The show portrayed him as bumbling side-kick to an action hero. And, I guess that's more reality of what Homer Simpson would be. If your life were a movie, would you play the hero, bumbling side kick or villain? In real life, I would probably be none of the three. I'm not a hero, bumbling side-kick or villian. I'm like that person who the hero goes to for consulting work. Guess that's not a big deal in the movie, but the role is always essential to the hero's success. I'm pretty good with computers and the Internet and stuff like that. So, that would definitely exclude me as hero. Well, I guess I would sort of be a hero in a Matrix type movie. That guy was good with computers. And, Indiana Jones is a professor in his life, when he's not exploring ancient ruins. So maybe there is room in Hollywood movies for brainy heros, too. So, how about you? If your life were a movie, what role would you play?

hi beautyqueen. i'd definitely choose to be the villain. i don't know but it seems villains appeal to me more than heroes. when i was a kid i love heroes and sidekicks but i still find villains more interesting. i love superman but lex luthor really intrigues me. i really like batman and robin but i find myself more amused by the antics of joker and penguin. in star wars, i like yoda and mace windu but it's the sith lords that i cheer for during light saber duels. i am more fond of bobba and jango fett and i always wanted to be a storm trooper (i have to admit that i have embraced the dark side. lol!!!). heroes and sidekicks are good but in my book they are only as good as the villains that they battle. if a hero has a weak villain, the hero isn't that impressive in my opinion.

I can't imagine I would be anything other than the bumbling sidekick. I always imagined myself in the military as Gomer Pyle. I'm usually the person everybody has to straighten out. Oh well, it's just me.
