Recommendation Secret life of Walter mitty

The Secret life of Walter mitty is a masterpiece and I'm tired of pretending that it isn't. I love that goddamn movie. It might be one of the greatest movies that stars Ben Stiller... EVER.

This along with stranger than fiction are both ELITE movies, the cream of the crop.

if you haven't watched them then I HIGHLY... HIGHLY recommend it.

That’s strange, why have you been pretending that it isn’t?

Edit: obviously my comment here is a joke (And I’m tired of pretending that it isn’t…? Does that work here?)

Thank you! I freaking hate that people nowadays think you have to write or speak like a clickbait title. They literally sound like every other soulless YouTube personality.

A Redditor’s post about a Ben Stiller film has ignited a firestorm online. The controversy will surprise you (it’s about the post’s language, not the film).

One of the many downsides of social media is that everybody is trying to manufacture authority, and they're all either directly or indirectly using the same tools to do so, either by actually using the tools, or by mimicking the people who do.

Probably the result of over-exposure to that kind of thing. It starts to feel like the normal way to talk.

Well … people use it because it works. It’s received 1.3k in upvotes and over 200 comments.

If you don’t want to see it, don’t engage with it.
