How insulted should I be about the grocery checker telling me I look exactly like Javier Bardem?

[Bossy Monkey]

I finally got around to seeing "No Country for Old Men" today and it reminded me of the time about a year ago when the checkout girl at Publix told me that I look like Javier Bardem. What she said was, "You look just like that guy in the movie who's chasing that other guy everywhere." Her co-worker fortunately (and amazingly) was able to translate. When I got home and Google Imaged him, I was not well-pleased. Seeing the movie, I get her point. I've got the overbite, the long nose, the weak chin, and at the time I had the unfortunate haircut to match. Sooo, should I get a bag to wear over my head, or a bell to warn children? Link to my picture in the DU gallery (under my old name undisclosedlocation) will be added upon edit.

Edit: See?

1. Say, "Friendo".

Gotta get the full effect

[Bossy Monkey]

2. I kind of suck at flipping coins actually

Then again, maybe they can take care of that in post-production. (I missed "Friendo" entirely during my viewing and had to google; disadvantage of watching movies on a laptop with an attention-hungry kitty I guess).

3. Javier, for comparison:

4. Oh man, you missed your chance

The legendary, iconic scene from No Country for Old Men involves a cashier making small talk.

If you're in that situation again, keep a quarter in your pocket from 1958 and buy a pack of Planters.

[Bossy Monkey]

9. Scene probably wouldn't play as well between a creepy old white guy and a black teenage girl

and, as I say, my coin-flipping skills are limited.:)

5. you need your ass kicked, Bossy

you had the same HAIRCUT? That is just f***ing egregious.

[Bossy Monkey]

7. I believe that the Buffalo Springfield will return, and we must be ready

I had that haircut at various times in the '70s and '80s, though not as far as I can remember in 1980 when the movie seems to be set. I don't really think my hair looked like that a year ago; it was longer than it is now, but a few notches above egregious (I hope).:P

13. I love how you're always so delicate with your choice of words.

:rofl:

[Skittles]

27. imagine how I was as a big sister

6. Ask Penelope Cruz!! That is her boyfriend!!!!

[Bossy Monkey]

8. Got her number?

Where's that leer smilie?:)

[Shell Beau]

10. Hey, it can't be all too bad if Penelope Cruz would date you!

:P :)

[Bossy Monkey]

11. What's their celebrity name amalgamation? Jenelope? Pavier? BarCruz? n/t

[Beaverhausen]

28. Yeah- he was the male lead in "Vicky Christina Barcelona" and was totally hot

I didn't know they are together now.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

12. This is a good thing...

Hubba.

[Bossy Monkey]

17. Now I know what haircut to ask the stylist for anyway

:P

[Forkboy]

14. I can think of worse comparisons.

I'd take it. :)

[Bossy Monkey]

18. I kind of preferred the John Lennon one. Harold Ramis, not so much.

But I'm fairly amused by all of these.

[Misskittycat]

15. Check out "The Dancer Upstairs." He's quite handsome in that one!

[Bossy Monkey]

19. Will do. Is Penelope in that one? n/t

[Misskittycat]

25. Just saw it several weeks ago, but can't remember one way or another.

[mgcgulfcoast]

16. looks nice to me.

[Bossy Monkey]

20. Thanks, or thanks on his behalf. Welcome to DU, months late.

Post more!:hi:

[whistler162]

21. At least it wasn' Jabba the Hutt

[Bossy Monkey]

24. I get that a lot, too :) n/t

[sammythecat]

22. Go like this again

Tell her you're all out of change. But that's ok. You know what to do.

[Bossy Monkey]

23. Hey, where'd you get the unretouched picture of me?!

Dangit! Spy cameras must REALLY be everywhere!:P

[sammythecat]

26. That killed me when I saw it.

Had to keep that one. :rofl:
