Love films? Take Tarah’s movie character quiz

Your life is full of spectacle, drama and hilarious moments. You don't need some old dude in an editing room wearing a ""Lord of the Rings"" baseball hat to tell you that somewhere in the seemingly insignificant events of your past, there's a great movie just waiting to be made...starring YOU. So, in light of that (sort of), I created a little quiz. Take it, and it will tell you which film character is most likely to be YOUR alter-ego. Enjoy! 

 

 

 

1) What's your favorite food? 

 

a. Organic, natural foods. Processed food is disgusting. 

 

b. Anything served cold. With a spoon. 

 

c. Ice cream.

d. Rum. 

 

 

 

2) How would you best describe your group of friends? 

 

a. A group of high school pals. We like to drink beer at drive-thrus and talk about our girl/boy problems. 

 

b. Friends? More like FOES. 

 

c. I have a lot of friends, but I'm very busy practicing my moves, so I don't see them as often as I'd like. 

 

d. You trust no one in my business, savvy? 

 

 

 

3) You were planning to go out for your friend's 21st birthday, but something unexpected comes up... You forgot you have a test tomorrow. How do you react? 

 

a. Watch a movie with my girlfriend/boyfriend while taking study breaks. It's like a romantic compromise. 

 

b. Call off Christmas. 

 

c. Stay home and study. It's important to do my best. 

 

d. Drink till the sun comes up and the rum's all gone. Then, get more rum. 

 

 

 

4) Your girlfriend or boyfriend breaks up with you. What do you do? 

 

a. Get her/him back. Prove myself worthy no matter what it takes.  

 

b. Hole up in my tower, hire some Celts to throw food on his/her car. They drink the blood of their dead. 

 

c. Find strength in other places, like my family. Or my stuffed bear. 

 

d. Drink a lot of rum. Maybe make out with my friend's bonnie lass. We'll see. 

 

 

 

5) How would you best describe the greatest, most exciting night of your college/high school career? 

 

a. That night in the backseat of so-and-so's car... You know what I'm talking about. 

 

b. That time I married my enemy's true love. Hilarious! 

 

c. Road trip! And that time I danced on tables. That was awesome. 

 

d. Rum and a bonfire. 

 

 

 

SCORING 

 

 

 

Mostly As  

 

A lover, a maybe-fighter and a true, hopeless romantic. That's what you are. You're a Lloyd Dobler (""Say Anything"") or maybe even a Rob Gordon (""High Fidelity""). Either way, be proud of your sweetheart alter-ego, because you're makin' the ladies weak in the knees. You're also an amazing kickboxer. Nice. 

 

 

 

Mostly Bs 

 

Yeah, you're the Sheriff of Nottingham. As if you didn't know. I'd work on that. 

 

 

 

Mostly Cs 

 

You're full of ambition and sweet, freak-dancin' love, just like your movie alter-ego, Olive Hoover (""Little Miss Sunshine""). Maybe your friends don't always understand your drive toward success; however, they'll get it someday. That's right. Like when you're up there thrusting your pelvis with a sweatband in your hair and shiny pants... all in the name of Grandpa.  

 

 

 

Mostly Ds 

 

You live by the seat of your pants, pillaging and plundering wherever ye see fit. You're Captain Jack Sparrow, never letting the rum go dry. Consider yourself The Dude of pirates, and instead of White Russians, you drink, well, rum. And you live by rum and swear by rum. But you'll never share your rum. And that's not cool.  

 

 

 

If you had a mix, it's okay. You're a little bit of everybody! Now, I have to go, but in case you ever really are looking for a film editor, I'm your girl. I don't actually have a ""LOTR"" hat, but I do have Darth Vader boxer shorts. Ciao.
