If you had to choose one director to film your life story so far...
...who would it be?
I would pick Quentin Tarantino. He's a film geek like me and I think could he really identify with my story and make my life story pretty fun and interesting. He would also choose great music and put in some cool dialogue to make me look good.
Directors I wouldn't choose:
Sophia Coppola
I think she would make a really boring movie about my life that was also arty and pretentious.
Eli Roth
He would probably try to paint me out to be some disturbing, creepy person, which is too close...er...far from the truth.
M Night Shymalan
I do not want some stupid twist ending at the end of my movie because my life has not had a major surprise twist yet.
Joss Whedon
I would want the movie about my life to be a hit, not some boxoffice flop that has no hope for a sequel.

If I could resurrect the dead, Kubrick would be great. I want people to leave the theater after my life story going, "Wait, what? I don't think I get it."
If that's not an option, and he was on my "side", Michael Moore. He'd antagonize the hell out of people I didn't like and convince half the country my life was much cooler than it really was.
If neither of those work, I'd take Spielberg, because even if it sucked, it would be a smash hit, and my family would clean up on the royalties. The fact is that no one could make a good film about my life, so may as well turn it into a cash grab.

If I'd done anything monumental in my life: Cameron Crowe. As it stands right now, Kevin Smith.

I'd want Ridley Scott since he could do the proper epic my life story would deserve (yeah right).
