    I was watching Prozac Nation and I identified a lot with Christina Ricci's character and her experiences. I watched the film Thirteen at the age of fourteen and had my friends joke that it was my life :pac:



    So, people of After Hours, are there films that remind you of your life or characters in films that you identify with/relate to?

    Drew Barrymore's character in Riding in cars with boys minus the drugs. The despair of ruining your life by hitching yourself to a useless baxtard but muddling through and raising an amazing kid (or 2 in my case).

    Also a little Erin Brochovich in my campaigning and law work.

    Big style Mila Kunis in bad mom's as well coz despite the difficulties, work load and trying to change the world, I knew how to parrrrty!

    Growing up as a boy in a desolute sh1thole, with local pubs full of freaks with arse-like faces, until a young wan turns my head. Off to get her with a weird old fella who likes to wave his radioactive slong around the place. Turns out she's my sister, but thats just typical of this fu:cking place. Yep, my life in film :)

    Number 2 from Austin Powers.

    When you work in IT sometimes specification requirement meetings mean that while the business users want to have 'sharks with frickin laser beams attached to their heads' you mostly have to reach a compromise and convince them that 'ill-tempered, mutated seabass' is an acceptable compromise for a production release given both the budget and time constraints.

    Dazed and Confused....remember the guy who said, "I came here to do two things: drink some beer and kick some ass…looks like we're all out of beer."

    Yeah, the guy he beat the sh*t out of. Or Matthew McConaughey's moustache.
