    First...your runner up character from the movie lost in Space...and I'll explain why I did not ultimatly pick them....

    [​IMG]

    Initially when trying to find your match...I went with the character of Dr Zachary Smith played by actor Gary Oldman...

    [​IMG]

    I was led to him, cause of your initial 'cunningness'...it felt good to be challenged like that...almost like having a intellectual fling with someone you shouldn't...but it felt good...almost like having an affair...
    But I initially kind of felt there was something 'wickedly cunning' behind the wall...Like eating chocolate cake when you shouldn't...I couldn't stop...

    [​IMG]

    And then later on, when you referenced yourself as being a 'monster'...but a cunning and smart one, and misunderstood by others...
    And abandoned by 'family'...(Dr Zachary's character was betrayed and abandoned by the agencie he worked for)
    it only made sense for me to follow Dr Zachary's character as he was bitten by a 'space spider' and transformed into this...

    [​IMG]

    Not sure if you saw the movie or not...but Dr Zachary befriended Will Robinson...as the two ended up being stranded on a planet together...
    Dr Zachary's mutated state, gave him extraordinary abilities to survive on the harsh planet and protect the both of them...

    (And kind of reminded me of your expressed sentiment to' look out for me')...
    Will Robinson was a genious, but an underachieved one...and desperatly needed a sarigote father figure or oversear...which made him vunerable...

    [​IMG]

    And that's kind of how I initially felt...
    But at the same time, so needed someone to appreciate 'my' talents...it's so how the movie played out...

    But in the end...i could not go with this character...cause in the end, Dr Zachary was unrepentant in his deceptive ways...his aim was to have Will Robinson...the older version...

    [​IMG]

    Build the time portal, and then escape into it alone...since it could only handle one life form...it was treachery...and I don't believe that's what your about...so I couldn't go with his character...but there was enough interesting paralles for me to make mention of it...

    A brief movie clipping to kind of get the feel of how I initially recieved you...

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdfxuCK9XWw[/ame]

    I would be Will Robinson...the grown ghostchildd...and your Dr Zachary in his mutated form...

    (which by the way I find very sexy...I'm weird like that...but to me, while cloaked...that was one of the sexiest 'monsters' I'd ever seen on film...)

    Anyways...

    I did not choose him as your match...did not...

    Stay tuned for the sequal yours is long, so I've decided to break it down in two seperate posts...the final character match I choose for you is much more noble...you'll see what I mean when I resume...either tonight or tomorrow...

    And thanks for being a good sport...

    Thank you ghostchild. While I have not seen the movie, I am a fan of the series, which I watched feverently as a child. I'm having lots of fun watching you come up with our hollywood alter-ego's. You are very insightful my friend. Thank you for taking the time to entertain us with you observations, they are very astute. I look forward to your next installment.

    You all make me so happy...when you leave comments I 'glow'...

    I know this interaction we have is probably korny to most...who just don't understand 'Underworld affection'....

    They have, have always had....they just don't understand...

    I took this this morning...I bobble headed myself...just to make it interesting...

    And a song to go with it...

    The Original 'Oh how happy you have made me'

    Yes...you have made the ghostchildd happy this morning...

    Your love and understanding...my four horsemen....we ride together...

    I like the effects you incorporated into this photo; I can't even tell the picture was taken in the sleeper...

    Almost appears like you are in front of an abyss....

    Need I say more....this is so much more you to me, than the other character...for although both are, were, shrouded in mystery...and both kind of have, had, physical adnormalities...their 'aim' or 'purpose' is totally different...


    One is a underworld vigilante superhero...and the other, Dr Zackary Smith...is just out for himself...


    Rorschach is a member of a banned group of Superhero vigalanties known as the Watchmen...

    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJE62iwBTLY&feature=related[/ame]


    It's better to see him in action...to know what I mean...
    He just had a certain 1940's gritty detective way of doing things...

    He's like an 'anti-hero' type...a good guy, who most would think was bad...but he's really good...and looks out for people without them knowing it...

    But do to his nature and mask, he's forever relagated to the nightime shadowy filled world that most would rather not know about...


    He's a character that kind of grows on you as the movie progresses...
    He's not the prettiest or most handsome of the 'Watchmen'...but in the end, he's the one who makes a difference...

    And Zebcohobo...for some reason...I see you as this character...
    Kind of a misunderstood hero...

    And what I found so wonderful about this movie, is it showed us, the viewers, that heros aren't always perfect...


    This movie was to the Super hero genre what Goodfellas was to the mob genre, and what Star Wars, was to space fiction...it kind of brings a real life grittiness to a normally cartoonish presentation of that realm...


    [​IMG]

    Rorschach picking up a rose, in the rain...as you tried to do with me...
    Where most would have trampled...you took time to try to pick up...

    A misunderstood hero you are...

    I think this is your match...there may be a better...but do to time constraint...I settled on this character as you...in another realm...






    (Sorry it took so long...I got distracted by 'work'...I'll explain in the next post...)
     
    zebcohobo and U4EA Thank this.

    Thanks, ye I never know how they're gonna turn out until I'm done...

    You just gravitate towards what works...and that one I felt like giving a 'bobble head' effect to...

    For fun and effect...and again...it helps me to not take myself to seriously...and to realize life is suppose to be fun...(although some would argue against that point)...


    Trucking is like a bad marriage...

    Well if trucking was my husband...they got mad and jelious of me for having such a good time on here...I kind of fell behind on miles or distance...and really had to make it up by driving and driving and driving somemore...I was totally depleated of mind energy when done...
    It's like trucking was dragging me by the hair...

    [​IMG]

    And was like 'you will give me all your attention and energy, not them'

    It's like trucking...grabbed me by the hair...drug me along, and locked me up in the cab until I did what it said...

    [​IMG]

    All the happy emotions I had went away...as trucking had it's way with me...

    Not the company...but trucking...there's a difference...

    I'm still trapped in this room...and won't be free until Tuesday morning...until then, I'm there's...trucking that is...

    But hopefully I'll have some more free time tomorrow...

    Trucking wants all of my time...and doesn't want me to have any friends...

    Back soon...
