What your favourite movie character says about you.

This is interesting. Had a conversation with a mate about superheroes (and movie characters) and so came about a theory that the character we (consciously) choose, reflects our own personalities (subconsciously). If that makes sense. So of course, me being me - I looked it up on the internet superhighway and came across this article from Cosmo:-

What His Favorite Superhero Reveals (By Christie Griffin)
Your guy’s hero of choice can reveal a lot about his personality. Ask him to pick his all-time favorite action great from the list below and use Cosmo’s guide to decode his answer.

It’s no surprise: Superhero movies are waaay popular, especially among men — just look at The Dark Knight, which is breaking box office records left and right. And while most dudes like all comic book capers, they usually have a favorite. The superhero a man prefers reveals the strengths and qualities that he would like to have or develop more of, says Krista Bloom, PhD, author of The Ultimate Compatibility Quiz. We got Bloom to weigh in on four of the most popular costumed adventurers and explain what it means if your guy is a fan.

Who he worships: Superman
What it reveals: Superman is the quintessential “nice guy” — he’s loyal, believes that people are inherently good, and is always ready to save the day. A guy who digs the Man of Steel usually has the same traits. So, while you may not need your man to save you from a burning building, he'll love it if you ask for his advice or help in mini-crisis — whether it’s changing a flat or settling you down after a fight with a pal. In other words? Score! But his desire to rescue people might not stop with you. He’s the type to fill his days helping his mom and doing favors for friends. If you feel like his time is monopolized by being a little too good to others, just pipe up and he’ll be responsive.

Who he worships: Spider-Man
What it reveals: Spider-Man is the underdog of all superheroes. As Peter Parker, he’s sensitive, completely responsible, and a bit nerdy. And his Spidey alter ego is pretty much the same — except for the fact that he also swoops from building to building to rescue damsels in distress. If your man relates to this cobweb-flinging fella, chances are he's emotionally open, never late, and always feels the need to the do the right thing. The only downside: Just like Spider-Man, your guy may get so caught up in being responsible that he has a hard time being carefree. You’ll just have to show him how to loosen up…

Who he worships: Batman
What it reveals: Batman — aka Bruce Wayne — drives a badass car, dates supermodels, and is rolling in dough...so, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why he appeals to your dude. But the Caped Crusader also has a darker side — his parents were killed by criminals, and that’s why he has set out to fight the bad guys. Batman avoids getting close to most people and is sort of a loner. So, your guy may share his dangerously dashing appeal, but you may also have to work a little harder to get him to open up.

Who he worships: The Hulk
What it reveals: This superhero goes from the quiet, reserved Bruce Banner to the big, green Hulk whenever he gets pissed off. Scary, right? But no worries; this character means well, he just lets his feelings overwhelm him. A guy who tells you that The Hulk is his favorite is likely to be the type who gets caught up in emotions and may even have the occasional outburst. Here’s the bright side: You’ll never have to guess how he feels. That said, if you do sense him getting worked up, it may be best to give him some space until he calms down or figures out his emotions.

What do you think? Of course, it is written by a chick. For chicks. I think there are some characteristics which i thought were spot on and some which weren't. So i'm going to be bold and do my OWN analysis on other major movie characters. Lets see if you agree..

Movie Character: James Bond 007
Reveals: You are secretive and only a selective few know who you really are. Job wise, you are very good at what you do. You don't believe in sucking up to the boss, because you know your work speaks for itself. You have a long list of female companions, but you feel as if falling in love would be a mistake. You believe that the one who cracks you will end up getting hurt.

Movie Character: X-Men characters
Reveals: You use what people see as flaws to your advantage. What you once thought was a curse, you eventually find it's your greatest strength. You are easily misunderstood, so your comfort zone is hanging around people who are like-minded as you. Most of the time you can control your temper, but when you can't, others should get out of your way.

Movie Character: Robin Hood.
Reveals: You put other people's needs first before your own. You are a rebel in your own right. You feel that the most effective way to get things done, is by taking things into your own hands. You make friends easily and people find you charming and approachable. Which is an envy of other men.

Movie Character: Hannibal Lecter.
Reveals: You are a genius but you have a sick, twisted mind. But in your own sick, twisted way, you enjoy seeing the potential grow in other people. You can see the big picture, which others cannot. Despite being a little bit eccentric, people find themselves drawn to you without even realising it.

Movie Character: Elektra.

Reveals: You are a lonely person because you feel that friends will only get in the way. When you do your job, you can be heartless and you do it well without any emotions attached to it. You put up a brave front but deep down you are just as vulnerable as the next person. You relate to people who are like you, and you try to reach out to them so they won't make the same mistakes you did in the past.

How'z that?! Ok I can't think of any other movie characters. Feel free to leave your comments in the cbox. Cheers!

Twice the damage.

Hell has no wrath like a woman scorned
And if you are blind to see what's good for you, then... be it!
Do as you please, don't be shocked at what one is capable of doing
It is happening already as we speak, revenge is sweet!

There is a secret behind this smile.

Music takes you to another world.

Experts say that it will take one month for a new piano to adapt to its new surroundings - temperature and humidity wise. Bah! Hogwash. But! Since it wasn't cheap in the first place, I decided to wait (just to be safe) and finally, today the guy came to unlock the keys and tune it... I get to play with it now! yay

10 men to avoid.

I came across this article online, thought it was interesting:-

There are some men who might be fun for a fling, but not a serious relationship says Dr Rosie, author of Good Loving, Good Sex.

He's not into you
This is the guy who doesn't respond to you. He doesn't ring within a reasonable time, he doesn't want to spend romantic time with you and he's not affectionate. If you're doing more than 50 per cent of the work, walk away from this one.

He's prettier than you
While we'd all like to date Brad Pitt, you should avoid the metrosexual who spends more time staring in the mirror putting product in his hair than you do. Escape while he's applying his wrinkle-reducing, moisturising sunblock.

He loves sport too much
There's a fine line between a great guy who loves sport and the raging maniac who loves sport way too much. Steer clear at the first sign of extreme sport obsession, otherwise you'll be stuck watching every lame game the sports channel has to offer and feeding his burping buddies on weekends.

He's the constant critic
For this guy, nothing is good enough. You're too fat, too noisy, too stupid. He doesn't like the way you walk, talk or even breathe. He's a natural critic and speaks only from his own undeniable perfection. While he's busy looking down his nose at you, make a quick get-away.

He's damaged goods
Sure, he seems sensitive and caring when you first meet and he tells you how his heart has been broken. Then he tells you it was 10 years ago and you begin to realise that he just loves telling his sob story and he's never going to let anyone get close to him again — including you.

He's married
Of course his wife doesn't understand him. Here's the bottom line — he is simply not available. No matter what he tells you, if he's still sharing bed and breakfast with his wife, move right on without giving him a second look.

He's a no-hoper
This is the guy without prospects and usually without a job or a car. You pay for everything and play chauffeur. No matter how much you give him, all he gives back is sex and a bit of guitar playing. He's looking for someone to take care of him. Is it going to be you?

He has too much baggage
He's paying maintenance to multiple ex-partners. He has difficult children, some of whom live with him. He's more than a tad bitter and will tell you all his woes. Get out before you're left holding the bag.

He can't make a decision
This guy is such a waffler he can't even decide if he wants you. He'll avoid making arrangements until the last minute, just in case something better comes along. He's always thinking about changing his career, moving house, selling up and getting away. Even when he's with you he keeps his eye open for the next good thing. This guy is essentially greedy. He wants it all and thinks he might be missing something better every moment he's with you. He doesn't need you; he needs years of intensive therapy.

He wants to be a star
When a man sets his eyes on the top of the tree, you will always come second on his list of priorities. Whether he wants to save the world, be head of the company, a politician or a brain surgeon, your needs pale in comparison. He won't have time or energy left at the end of the day for you and he'll expect you to take care of the petty details of his life so he can get on with the job of being magnificent. He won't share the spotlight, so get out before it's too late.
