Walter Mitty was such an underrated film. The soundtrack was brilliant and the cinematography was beautiful.

Damnt!! The thief and the cobbler, for a long time I believe it was just in my imagination, so infravalued animation film.

The scene where he's longboarding in like, Greenland, or Iceland, it's such beautiful cinematography.

Everything about the movie invokes a sense of wanderlust. The need to get out of your comfort zone and experience new things.

When you mean original version of The Thief and the Cobbler, do you mean the silent version without all the voice actors and music numbers?

Nope

Donnie Dario is amazing even if that ending is still up to interpretation after the 15th time I’ve watched it

8 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 2

I actually thought it was pretty mediocre. Downside of somebody talking it up too much I guess.

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

Yea could be, it’s a very different movie I loved it but have friends who didn’t think it was the best. The sequel.... now that was garbage

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Does Donnie Darko have the best twist or is it just a shit movie that people think they're smart for liking?

I'm not going to say the books for Stardust and Howl were better, but they were different, and good reads. You should read them.

I remember having read Mr. Fox, but it's been so long I can't recall whether it was good. Although, since it's Dahl, it probably was.

I always up the time frame by one order of magnitude. 5 minutes? 5 hours.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

So when they say hours, theyre only off by a factor of 24 and when they say minutes they're off by a factor of 60? :confused:

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Correct. You're not confused at all.

Nono, I now have the knowledge, this does not mean I understand how this became fact.

Not so sure... 28, saw Labyrinth at the age of 8 - and as much as I love both it and Bowie, it still wouldn't crack the top 10.
