Not another thread about movies

[Jay-X]

At least every other day, we see a new "which movies make a don juan"-kinda thread. Now, I'm not saying this is bad, but I just wanted everybody to spend a couple of minutes thinking about this, since I myself have noticed that maybe I should stop connecting movies and don juaning.

I don't watch a lot of TV, but I often buy some DVDs so I know a bit about films. What are the movies usually suggested to us aspiring Don Juans? A few common ones could certainly be:

- Fight Club (Brad Pitt)
- James Bond saga (Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan)
- Star Wars (Harrison Ford)
- Hitch (Will Smith)
- Maial College (the main character, I don't know his name)

And I could mention a lot of others, but this is not the point.

When I see one of these movies, where the main character (or someone else) looks very cool (it doesn't matter at all if he's a Don Juan netiher if he does or does not pull hot chicks), I can't help but pass the following days trying to mirror him.
To make it clear that it has nothing to do with pulling chicks, I'll list some of the characters I've mirrored more frequently so far:

- Brad Pitt in Fight Club
- Malcolm McDowell is A Clockwork Orange
- Stiffler in American Pie
- The main character in The Pool
- That funny shady guy in The Hole


What does this lead me to? I think I have an incongruent persona, since I end up mirroring and mixing 5 completely different guys, thus leading me to INCONGRUENCY. I'm sure people can catch me up on this although nobody says anything about it.

Or maybe is it a good thing to model yourself around these people? I don't think so, but I'd like to know some ideas of yours.

Has anybody else experienced this?
I'd like everybody to express his opinions in here and let us know what he thinks about all this.

I think everyone does this. People are easily influenced by things they see and hear.

Ive been moved by many movies and its shown in my everyday persona. Theres nothing wrong with that its only natural. Who wouldnt want to mirror brad pitt in fightclub? I mean he is free in every way we're not, right?

btw whats wrong with incongruency? if we were perfectly congruent we'd be some damned cyborgs (which would be cool).

you may be right, but somebody who one day acts like tyler durden and the next day mirrors Stiffler is not a cool guy... he's ridicolous

ha-ha, that's funny.

I like Brad Pitt and George Clooney in Oceans Eleven and Twelve.
Their Alpha status jumps out at you without them saying a single word.

Can't we discuss this on one of THOSE threads?
