    Dopplegangers

    They say everyone has a doppleganger or double somewhere in the world, and somewhat bizarrely I've found mine on the IMDb!

    If you go to the entry for Mirrormask, you'll see these thumbnails*:




    My god! That's me!! (Except I wear glasses.)

    Even more spookily, Dave McKean has the same initials as me. He's also 5 years older then me, so either he looks very good for his age or I look very bad for mine.

    *It's only the thumbnails that resemble me, when you look at the full-size photos you can see the differences between us.

    _"For an eternity Allard was alone in an icy limbo where all the colours were bright and sharp and comfortless.
    _For another eternity Allard swam through seas without end, all green and cool and deep, where distorted creatures drifted, sometimes attacking him.
    _And then, at last, he had reached the real world – the world he had created, where he was God and could create or destroy whatever he wished.
    _He was supremely powerful. He told planets to destroy themselves, and they did. He created suns. Beautiful women flocked to be his. Of all men, he was the mightiest. Of all gods, he was the greatest."

    Do you really have as nasty a disposition as that which emulates from D. Mckean, David???
    I'll be more careful....Perhaps a little "eggwalking" is necessary in this instance ??

      Well, the traditional concept of 'doppleganger' implies that the double is an evil counterpart to you, so if McKean is my doppleganger you can assume that I have a more cheery disposition.

        You are quite young then aren't you David??
        I quite resembled Paul McCartney when I was in my prime,

        I now have traits of Charles McCarthy from the ravages of time.

        My veins are full of sawdust,
        And straws replaced my soul.
        The evil prankster Father Time,
        Laughs while I grow old.
        It’s not that I don’t hear you, as I look away and stare,
        It’s the callus of existence ...and a total loss of care.
        The world blurs by me everyday, with insatiable new speed,
        Perhaps one day we’ll pass ourselves with rush technology.

            I was also surprised how young Dave looks.
            My post was an inner reflection.

              As for you, VG... I can only imagine your doppleganger... oh my...


              As for myself- never seen the like, not even close to how I look.

                Oh..just your everyday...run of the mill, twisted, mutated, disembowelled, radioactive time-dwarf. He-He...but I have a dog.
                And furthermore...I have a hard enough time putting up with one of me and the problems he causes.

                  Yep, same here. In my case I think they decided a doppleganger might be a bit redundant...

                    The doppleganger is supposed to be a bit twisted? I've always thought of myself as the evil twin...

                      Well, that was the other fella, Rose.

                            Now, David, I knew that. Though you did say "My god! That's me!! "
                            BTW, I hate repeating myself...
                            You're adorable!
                            And since you did, I'll post one of my doppleganger. Don't be deceived by her smile...

                              Your Doppleganger certainly seems to be up to something...

                              Should we fear the cameras?
