Who would you be?  I was thinking that a t-shirt along these lines would be cool, but mainly it just got me to musing about stereotypes.

Apparently, according to friends, I am pretty much the ex-military survivalist.  Wonder if I can get a shooting jacket with "Burt" monogrammed on it...

Other options: (off the top of my head)

Victim
Spunky Female Hero
Angst-Ridden Teenager
Computer Whiz
Bit Part Fodder Boy
Old Coot
Kenny

Spunky Female Hero.    That's me.  Been in training all my life for that one.

I'd be "Computer Whiz" :)

Andrew, you could be Grampa from "Terrorvision"!  "War stories & monster movies are educational.  Their survival oriented!"

The Sarcastic Guy

Usually killed in the most gruesome manner possible.

        I think I would be one of those scientists who ends up with a wiggly thing stuck on his face.
         If we were b-movie characters/stereotypes, would we have the powers associated with them?  Things like off-screen teleportation, hero's battle death exemption, or survival techniques such as plot conveniences/holes and the ability to transform into a dummy/plastic doll/stop-motion perosn/cheesy CGI person right before we get offed?

I'd be the one who's seen b-movies. "Yeah, you guys go rush off into certain death. I'll do things that make sense and survive, at least until the beginning of one of the multitude of sequels, where my death would be an easy story for creatively bankrupt writers."

Hmm,
Is there any way to mix two? I'd think i'd be angst ridden old coot. Or maybe the Garbage man from Video dead.  or perhaps I'd just be like paul, and vanish halfway through the film

"Now if you'll pardon me, I must go and  save my lady love Joan Marie from the dreaded spin cycle"

Shady government guy who wants to cover everything up and kill the monster.  I know I'd usually die, but I'd get to wear a shoulder holster.

Who I'd be in an B-Movie ?

One Word :

Mike

Sarcastic ethnic guy who dies with a smirk on his lips.

Definitely old coot.  Been in training since I was twenty-two.

Nathan

I'd probably be an early (first half of the film) victim.  But hopefully, I'd get laid before getting skewered.  I'd prefer to be one that gets killed without ever knowing what hit him than have it be long and drawn out.

I'd be....

VICTIM

Probably the first, the one that starts the ball rolling, the tired old, hen-pecked travelling salesman whose car breaks down near the toxic waste spill and gets gulped up by a slurposaurus or dissolved by the sentient ooze or something.  I have no real skills to speak of (aside from typing and storytelling) so I gotta be a VICTIM.

Since we posted practically identical posts (i.e. early and/or first victim) perhaps it good be a tag team kill.  One of us gets et while the other watches, then turns and runs, only to be chased down and killed by a POV shot!

That's uncanny!  (Great minds think alike.)  I'll be the one that goes out and gets killed first while you stay in the car, trying to start the engine and flooding it before getting stomped/eaten/dissolved, k?

Can an ironic song be playing on the radio?  Please, please?

Bit part Fodder and/or old coot. Albeit a well armed fodder coot!
....You do realise, "Kenny" is  one you'll have to foist off on some one. A "Designated Kenny" could be a poster who says the most kenny like things.......
....Heres a shooting jacket i'd like. "Burt Gummer's school of survival " The motto would read. "Always have a big enough gun".

I'd get munched early on, as the teen who says "let's all go up to the abandoned quarry/swim hole.  C'mon, you're not going to let a stupid rumor of a homicidal killer/monster/unknown alien/supernatural being stop you?  We've got enough beer."

And I'm not too old to play a teen, just because it was twenty years ago.

I'd probably be the person the main characters bump into that suddenly tells them tons of useless information and "history" legends about the area that they are sure to ignore and laugh at (as i give them a scowl). Then they walk off to their certain deaths.

That said, there's about a 65% chance I could be the first victim.

Sure, how about "Don't Fear the Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult?

I'd probably be the sarcastic-yet-wacky comic relief, which means I, too, have an early date in Savini's chair.

The 80s punk rocker. "What do you think, this is a costume? This is a way of life!"

Will, by going that route, you'd be committing Suicide...

...oh, I crack myself up...ha-HA!

I'd be the angst-ridden teenager that just happens to say some quirky remarks regarding the situation. I'd end up as fodder near the end when the heroes are devising a plan to destroy the monster/killer/alien/whatever that goes horribly awry. Although if I come near-death and then die in the sequel, regardless of the fact that I'm the only person people like in either movie, a la Jamie Kennedy as "Randy" in Scream and Scream 2, I will be mightily p**sed.

a violent motorcycle gang member straight out of a 60's biker film.

Hmmm... Since we seem to be doing slasher movie cliches, maybe I'd be the big imposing guy who, in an ironic twist, is bumped off very easily before having a chance to land a punch.

Actually, I could probably be the smart-assed reporter who is snapping pictures while all hell is breaking loose, a la Carl Kolchak, then trying to convince my editor that a vampire/mummy/goatsucker is on the loose.

That one's not just limited to slasher movies.  Remember the beginning of JURASSIC PARK 3--the big guy with the big gun.

Yep, I would unforunately have to be the one that is the secondary killer, you know the one who really has no motive for doing this but he is anyways (like the young kid in Scream 2....... was his name Mike?) Well, that way I would at least live throught the whole movie, and one of my family members would revenge me in the sequal or i would come back stronger than before

I'd be the fringe stoner that figures out the problem, find the answer and is the second to last to die handing off the superserum w/ my dieing breath so that the main character can save the day and get the credit. NO! I'M NOT BITTER!  ;-)
