because I find myself seeing people in real life that I saw in a movie. And this is going to sound odd, but true. If you have ever seen the movie Monster with Charlize Theron then you will understand the woman i am talking about.
A couple of months ago I noticed my local grocery store had a lot of new checkers at the cash register. Well it was one woman who stood out to me. She looked and acted just like the woman who the movie Monster was about. She laughs like her, she has the same mannerisms as her and she just LOOKS like her to the T. I cannot help but laugh about this because the resemblence is soo odd. And today again I saw her and I told my mom when I spoke with her the woman never died in Florida they just sent her to te local grocery store here in KY as a checker.
Do you ever find ourself noticing people who look and act just like someone you've seen in a movie?
Odd thoughts hit me at odd times....I used to be able to notice how some people remind me of caroon characters we grew up watching...like I know a woman who looks just like woodstock off of Peanuts. In a cute little birdie kinda way.

Hello, taface412!
That is strange. It does not happen to me, but maybe it is because I am not so used to watching many movies. In fact, I have not watched many movies in my life. I'd like to watch many more, but sometimes it looks like watching movies is just wasting time. I don't know why I get this feeling, but I do.
Now, have you ever told one person that he/she looks just like a character from a movie? Once, a girl told me I just look like Peter Parker, from Spiderman. She said I'm just like that actor. lol
Respectfully,
Munhozmib.

Well, to me the best movs either coedies or dra reality...not slashers as I find them a huge of time and a huge insult to my intelligence as a movie goer.
But to answer the question of tellng people...well it depends on who they look like.

I find it kind of odd, too. I sometimes will be walking around in the grocery store, and bam, there is someone that looks just like a cartoon character from my childhood. It freaks me out at times... I once saw someone with a white t-shirt with a collar and a red tie and I was like, "SpongeBob????????"
Anyways, you will always find someone that stands out, no matter what you watch on TV. Who knows? Maybe, to someone else, you look like somebody from a movie. It will always happen, so you shouldn't give up on movies ;)

Well I am glad I am not alone in this theory of mine.
I doubt anyone would say I look like anyone famous...once though someone told me I looked and acted alittle like Jennifer Anniston...but I have to say they were a little intoxicated and I am not sure they knew what they were talking about....but who knows.
And I knew an older guy once who looked like Spongebob...even down to the one tooth and what made matters worse was he had a spongebob doll also.....

Now would that be art imitating life or life imitating art? I'll have to look for some look and act a likes while I'm out, you're such a people watcher.

Yeah it's kinda eery when you really do stop and look. I cannot helpbut watch people....although i do not make it obvious.
ANd I am not sure if it does qualify as life imitating artor art imitating life...because I do not know one woman on Earth who would want to act or look like her. Now Charlize Theron....yeah I can see that, but she didn't look like herself in that movie....
I just wonder if anyone has told this woman that...I kinda hope not cause I would take it as an insult.
