We're all entitled to our opinions and beliefs. Some are more arguable than others, which is why we try to steer clear of such topics -- they are difficult to discuss without running the risk of offense. Let's put to rest the subject of religion at this point and turn this thread back on topic...

"Paper Man is the newest of these films. Jeff Daniels and Emma Stone give wonderful performances and explores the complexities of a platonic relationship between and older man and a teenager. " My guess is that the above line was the sole purpose for the post. I may be wrong, and I apologize if...

This is perhaps the best "Ad for a movie disguised as a discussion topic" I've ever seen. To answer your question, The Incredibles. A two-hour wallow in mid-life crisis pretending to be a kids movie.

My first experience was editing some footage that someone else shot (about 5 minutes worth). Don't really have a copy of that. My first actual movie-making project was Finger. http://www.bophe.com/Finger%20-%20The%20Movie%20(320x240).wmv
