A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I found it on youtube anyway.
I would not want to be the dude ripping the magazines.
Thanks, Sue!

Actual movie question: I have a memory of Jason Statham doing a voice for WthWTA. Was it a dream? I do have a tendency for vivid, realistic/mundane dreams that I occasionally have a hard time sorting from reality. Or is Statham doing a voice for another movie?
If no and no, then I totally had a dream that Statham was the voice for some monster/creature.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I remember hearing that the voice actors had been changed but I don't think Jason Statham was ever attached.

This tragedy is easily remedied. Hie thee to a library or book store. Your life will be richer for it.
Totally concur with this. A singular touchstone of my childhood.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I believe I actually cried the first time I read WtWTA to Owen.

I so wanted a wolf suit like Max's when I was a kid.

Well, this is the issue. Not having grown up in an English-speaking country, I haven't read most famous children's books. We had some famous ones translated -- The Grimm's and Perrault's fairy tales, Hans Christian Anderson, etc., but not much beyond that. First time I tried to read the LotR books was when I was in my early thirties, and I found it slow-going and the prose too cluttered. Some things just need to be read when you're the right age for them, I think.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, you won't have a cluttered prose issue with WTWTA. It's a pretty cheap investment in a classic.
