Replay your scene

First ideas
(These are the first rough ideas, let's see how far we get ;) )

I was thinking about a new contest/competition.
Think about your favourite movie scene. Got it? Do you know the lines? Ok, here we go:
Now pick your mobile or another camera and play your favourite movie scene by yourself and record it.
After that you can edit it (or not) and upload it. (Don't know where, maybe we'll get a solution for that)
Others can rate your movie scene.
If you got the most rates you'll win something (Hmm, what could this be...)

I'd like to mention that I first of all thought about people who have no professional education as actor/actress.

There could be different categories: male/female, playback/original voice, best performance and many more...

Why
For fun.
To discover unknown talent.
To bring new faces to the screen.

Maybe we can develop this thing together...

Blast From The Past: Look-A-Like Contest!

Back in the hazy mists of 2003, when "Same Difference" wasn't even on paper yet and this site actually had readers, I had a look-a-like contest! It seemed like a waste to let such a highlight of this site's past disappear into the ether, so I've decided to archive it here on my blog. So click the image on the left to relive the magic!The contest was quite successful as you can see by the entries. One thing I'm really bummed not to have archived is the comments. While the contest was going on with new entries added each day, there was quite a lively conversation going on in the comments section of the contest page. There was an alarming amount of name-calling and bickering. I was taken aback. I thought it'd be a fun little thing for the site, but some people really took it seriously. Never underestimate the negativity of the internet... It's too bad none of that was saved. It was quite entertaining. But when I logged into my Haloscan account after 5 years, all the comments had been deleted. Aw, what a waste... C'mon, Haloscan, why you gotta?There's one tragic addendum to this contest. Shari, one of the Nancy look-a-likes, turned out to be a friend of a friend. I met her in person later that year and she seemed very nice. But shortly after I met her, she was tragically hit and killed by a drunk driver. When I first heard about it, it hit me like a brick. And this was for someone I barely even knew. I can't imagine what it'd be like to lose a family member or a friend like that. I don't want to imagine it. To all of Shari's family and friends, my deepest condolences. People... don't be an asshole. Please don't fuckin' drink and drive. It's not only your life you're endangering.
