I truly had no desire to see The Secret Life of Walter Mitty at all. For one thing, I am no Ben Stiller fan. I find him to be a mediocre talent at best. He's done nothing in the world of entertainment that I can point to and say, "That movie is the only one I like with him in it." I can't do that at all with his body of work, and his body of work is extensive (and yes that includes Tropic Thunder). I see him and Adam Sandler as one and the same but at least with Adam I can point to Punch Drunk Love as the one movie in which I don't despise when looking at him on the screen.
However, after seeing the video I have attached I may actually go check it out. It's got nothing to do with Ben Stiller, and maybe everything to do with Ben Stiller. Walter Mitty has been a passion project of Ben's, he's been trying to get it done for years, it's his baby. He's not only starring in it, but he directed it as well so he pushed all his chips to the middle of the table and went all in. I respect such bold moves but the boldest one of all was made by the studio. Take a look.
Because of that video, I may actually see a Ben Stiller movie...IN THE THEATER!!! Way to go Casey Neistat and 20th Century Fox for helping those that needed help. Now if more of this kind of thing could happen, what a wonderful world this could be. I'll see you on line I guess :)
