This weekend, my kid insisted that she really wanted to watch This Is The End, a film that features thinly-veiled fictionalized versions of Seth Rogan and his actor friends dealing with the literal apocalypse. I’m not entirely sure why they wanted to see it, but I was amazed at the movie’s take on Michael Cera as a drugged-up self-centered Hollywood jerk, a perfect portrayal of a giant jackwagon with all the worst traits you could imagine. As a fictionalized self, it’s perfect, and makes his ironic movie death that much funnier, leading to today’s playing himself query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) truly wants to be like Adam West when I get old, basically playing a movie version of me in everything and being beloved for it, asking: Which celebrity’s fictionalized self is better than any real person could ever be?

Ryan Reynolds over-the-top public personality, especially his ‘feud’ with Hugh Jackman.
The Steven Colbert from the Colbert Report because, just as his book tells us, he is America (and so can you).
