A film, also called a movie or motion picture, is a series of still images which, when shown on a screen, creates the illusion of moving images due to phi phenomenon
I think Mitty kind of misses the entire point of the short story and is lesser for it.
I've never read the short story, but as a fan of Philip K Dick I know what it's like to have a movie miss the point of a short story
The story is about Walter's fantasies for his life, the narrative drifts through all of them, which are inspired by something he sees or does while going through his mundane existence. He doesn't then proceed to change his life or go to India or whatever. It's about that longing to be something great and the internal life of people who know their existence is not like they dreamed it would be.
A Million Ways To Die In The West looks like the sort of thing I'll really enjoy if I can manage to round up my old roommates and we're all drunk for it

Well, everyone knows Custer died at Little Bighorn. What this book presupposes is... maybe he didn't.
like ok sure you can make a version where "well maybe it's not sad and he gets better!" But that misses the point of the perspective of the story and exchanges that for something that isn't as true. Not everyone just like, hops on a plane to India to have a cool adventure. The story's point of view is from a man who specifically cannot do that. He has a wife and a job and he's getting older and he can't just go be a WWII war hero, that is impossible. Nor can he be a surgeon or an assassin or anything else he dreams of.

The Superbowl commercial for it was bizarre
All playing up how it was TOO RAUNCHY for the Superbowl while essentially talking to himself
It was the closest I've come to seeing a man masturbate in front of millions of people

I saw Her, the other day, and very much enjoyed it.
It also made me very very sad. What did you guys think?
I thought it was super good.
And also the arc of it was totally unique. It was so many different kinds of movie all at the same time and it tackled so many things. It felt so real and natural and it made incredibly personal stories out of some of the grandest challenges to human nature we're likely to face in the next few decades.
Chris Pratt's character was amazing, Joaquin's relationship with Amy Adams was absolutely wonderful
I was worried he was going to realized he loved her all along, but it turns out they're actually just good friends who are affectionate and help each other through hard times without accidentally having sex, much like real life people.
It was a very very good movie, but more over, it was a super well written story.

Ralph Fiennes is a surprisingly good comedic actor!

Have you not seen In Bruges?
I've only seen one or two so far, but I'm a big fan of the Blues Brothers movie!
How about you?

pick one, college liberal hollywood media studios
Yep! I hadn't really considered that comedic for some reason. He is funny in it though, good point

Scarlett Johannson is in some weird Kubrickian acid trip film
Richard Ayoade is remaking Brazil with Jesse Eisenberg
Seth McFarlane really has a face for voice work

I don't think I'd consider either of those to be my favourite movie, though.
Hm. HM!
I actually find it almost impossible to pick one favourite movie, it depends a lot on my mood, and I usually tailor it depending on who asks.
Groundhog Day would be up there though, Blade Runner too.

I really liked Mitty

I saw the very last showing of it at my local theater, which made me really sad, because I would have liked to take someone else again
I can recommend doing the same, it is rather good!
It also made me very very sad. What did you guys think?

I don't know, I consider him an alright looking dude.
But Chico
she has the voice of an angel.
Sure, he just looked really out of place as a lead actor based on the trailer, maybe I'm wrong though!

But sadly, I look like this:
I think it should have been made as its own movie with no connection to the short story
He's not an ugly guy or anything

Oh yeah, that we might agree on.
Seth McFarlane is a much better voice artist than live action actor.
Steam
Yep.

I mean it's like
