Sure, who would play you in a movie? Post picture of you and the actor playing you...
Isn't there supposed to be a new question in here somewhere?
To be fair, it was you who went off course by questioning BDA's question
Totally overlooking Jimmy here.
I think I'm too young to have an alter ego playing myself, but over the years, I've been told I look like the vocalist in Green Day, so I suppose he'd do.
You're in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. _THE_ hottest chick ever(Or dude, depending on who's answering this) runs up to you, asking for help. She/he's been bitten, so there's only a matter of time here, but do you a) Hit that like a whack-a-mole, or b) shoot em' up.?
Whack-a-mole! Whack-a-mole! The danger of being bitten adds to the thrill, and let's face it, you would only be killing time until your enevitable demise anyway.
You have the option to replace a perfectly healthy limb with an artificial one with similar level of function / sensation. Do you?
No need to trade-in a healthy arm for an artificial one if it has a similar level of function/sensation. The premise would have to be if it was twice as strong or had inbuilt wi-fi or something.
You're on a 13 hour flight to Sydney and can sit anywhere you want. As you walk on, you notice there are spare seats next to James Cameron, Stephen Fry, Megan Fox, Richard Dawkins, and Jon Stewart.
Who do you sit next to?

Well... James Cameron seems like an ass who's pretty in love with himself, so I'd keep away from that guy for sure. Stephen Fry would be an experience, but he's also a pretty large man, and airplanes are not spacious. Megan Fox... I'm just repulsed by her for some reason. Next. As for Richard Dawkins I'm sure there'd be plenty of interesting discussion to be had, but for 13 hours straight? That leaves Jon Stewart. He's funny, he seems pretty approachable, and he's also tiny. Perfect plane-ride buddy.
Oh no, you've happened upon a wizard and gotten on his bad side! He decides he's going to turn you into an animal. You beg and plead with him not to do it, and he graciously allows you to pick from any animal on the planet, including insects. What is your new form?
Great Grey Owl.
I tend to spend a lot of time thinking about this type of thing for some reason. My answer also kinda loses a bit of punch in text form...if it were face to face I would have interupted you mid sentence and screamed my answer in glee.
Yeah...I think about this a lot.
You get one actor or musician back from the reaper. Who do you choose?

Carl Sagan has been auto-tuned many times, which (sorta kinda) makes him a "musician". There is only one Carl Sagan and he, more than any other, died too soon.
In a few years, you have your genome sequenced as part of a routine medical check-up. The doctor holds an his envelope which reveals the year that you're projected (accurately) to die of old age and whether you're likely to get Alzheimers, etc. Do you open the envelope or throw it in the bin?
Open it. Knowing when allows me to get a fix on my life, and actively get around to hitting that bucket list.
You're faced with a paradox. You find yourself in 1989, and the only way of getting back to your time is to tap a very attractive person...of your own gender. (Thank you Dorkman and the Batman Returns commentary)
Do you ..tap it, or do you stay put in 1989, reliving the glory days of the late 80s/all of the 90s, with knowledge of what's to come(alá Back to the Future)?
I'd stay just to see what happens if I attempt to change things. Let's see which time travel movie got it right!
You get to ask George Lucas one question whilst he is on some sort of truth serum, what do you ask?
"Why are you continuously changing movies that have already been established as good?"
Same man, gives you the rights to Star Wars. Where do you go with it?
I'd throw the rights in the trash where they belong. All semblance of credibility, of reputation, of goodwill, has been leached out of the franchise. It's been debased, infantilized, pimped out, and gutted of any dignity. It couldn't be more pathetic if it was $2 heroin-addled hooker spread-eagled and lifeless in the dumpster.
Which planet do you want to visit most? Mars? Pandora? LV-426? Middle Earth? Arrakis?
Middle Earth. Although I would think Endor would be just as fun.
Let's go to human psychology, How do you greet a someone you've never met for the first time? Are you inclined to: smile and say hello, avoid eye contact and pick up the pace in your step, or nod as they approach?
I smile and nod usually and say 'hi' or 'hello'. If they offer to shake my hand, I do so, but I never offer first. I always maintain eye contact, especially if it's for something important like a job interview. I try to be as polite as possible when meeting someone new.
My Q: If you could turn any existing non-musical film into one, what film would it be and why?
Anyone in all of history? No contest. Shatner.
You are challenged to a duel by a European duke (or duchess, as the case may be) for a rather shocking offense which, to be frank, you are brazenly guilty of. What weapon and location do you choose?
The BFG from Doom, if I can't have the Death Star. Location: Manhattan, of course, because everyone loves seeing Manhattan get trashed. So at least while the duke is 'demanding satisfaction', the masses can pull up a chair, break out the popcorn, and be entertained.
Question: Does the popularity of fantasy imply that reality is dull?
Reality is dull. Sure exiting things happen, often horrible disturbing things, but when was the last time you saw a dragon or spaceship in real life? Us humans have always made up stories that are fantastical, we all want to escape from reality on occasion. From cheesy romance novels to Sci-Fi stories about far off planets.
If you could be a member of a movie/TV/book family, which one would you want to be part of? A family member that doesn't already exist mind you, create a character.
I'd be the even younger Stark child. Maybe he'd have a chance of surviving.
If you could have been born anywhere in the world, where would it have been?
I think ideally I'd choose to be born to a wealthy English-American family and be raised in England with dual citizenship. I'd hate to lose my ability to vote against Republican candidates but I'd love the history and posh accent.
In fact, make it a duke's family, and then I could challenge Avatar to a duel and stab him while he was readying his imaginary video game gun.
Imagine an elephant cut lengthwise from the trunk, over the brow, down the back, and splitting the tail. What looks almost exactly like one half of an elephant?
Yes, I just thought I'd shake things up a little.
But what is your question?
I was going to say 'the other half' but decided against it. Well, initially, obviously as I just did. I couldn't think of anything clever to say instead.
Have you experienced a memorable epiphany? What triggered it?
