Why??? Doesn't that involve repeatedly decreasing your lifespan?

I have watched Moby Dick once a week for about 10 years. If there is finer acting, I have yet to see it.

My favorite is Dumbo.  A pleasant little funny looking creature can do amazing things.  Reminds me of someone I know very well.
The music, the singing crows and the psychadelic morphed elephants scene 13 years before LSD was invented,  was really cool, too.

Nope. Dumbo is 1941, LSD was first synthesised in 1938.

Amazingly, it took 5 more years before its psychedelic properties were discovered.

Though if you've seen any of the early Steamboat Willie shorts, you'll suspect ole Walt had ample access to a good substitute.

To be honest, I freaking loved the Maze Runner series.  The story is so straightforward, but it's just a cool adventure-style concept that is a breeze to read, and it's just simply a cool book.  Tempted to see the movie, and see how much of what I envisioned is depicted that way :P

My favorite movie(s)

-Snatch
-Beverly Hill Ninja (has anyone seen FINER acting?)
Interested in discussing:

-Prokofiev Toccata
-Scriabin Sonata 2
