Last night we went out and saw The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. As soon as it came out back in December I knew I wanted to see it. We missed it while it was in theatres, but I saw that it was showing at the cheap theater in Pasadena. So we thought why not give it a try. The chairs were rickety and the popcorn was stale but that wasn’t about to ruin this movie for me. From the trailer I knew I would love it and I was right. It was funny, creative, and inspiring. There’s this scene where he rides a longboard down a beautiful road in Iceland. It’s just gorgeous and it made me wish I wasn’t so afraid of going fast on my longboard. They’ve got to have flat roads in Iceland too, right? It made me want to travel, to be adventurous and explore the unknown, to take risks, and to go out and live life how we imagine it to be in our dreams. I can’t wait to watch it again when I don’t have to worry about cockroaches crawling on my feet.
