Deb: What's a liger? Napoleon Dynamite: It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic. lol

Funnily enough, saw one yesterday,
ELLING
A Norwegian film full of warmth and charm. About 2 men around 40 years old who are relesed from institutional care into the big wide world. The characters arent treated like retards and there's no crass humour based on their plight. Just gentle humane stuff. Well recommended. I loved it in fact. Apparently they made a sequel but I dont know much about that.

I know this one is a little out there but Edward Scissorhands was kinda shy. I mean he had certain characteristics of a shy person...maybe

Funnily enough, saw one yesterday, ELLING Well recommended. I loved it in fact. Apparently they made a sequel but I dont know much about that. yeah I was confused about that too, so i dug deeper and I found out: it was a Norwegian book (Brothers in Blood) that was turned into a theatre play and becouse of it's success they turned it into a movie called Elling www.imdb.com/title/tt0279064/and yes david they made a sequel which is actualy a prequel of the first film. it's called Mors Elling www.imdb.com/title/tt0368045/Kevin Spacey apperently bought rights to the film and they're gonna remake the film for american audience and it's coming out this year www.imdb.com/title/tt0322156/ . it'll be called Elling. hey avoids confusion, no? i think it's good cus not many ppl have seen the original movie. all credit to Kevin who saw the movie.. or the play or whatever.. cus really this is a film that a lot of people need to see. lol i'm rambling now, but hey i got excited when i found out about this

Glad Kevin Spacey bought the rights, he's likely to oversee a worthy remake. I was thinking when watching it of some candidates for the leading roles. Among others I thought Philip Seymour Hoffman and Robin Williams. A bit obvious maybe?

A bit obvious maybe? yeah those two are fine actors and it could work out.. on imdb.com boards there's rumor that Kevin Spacey and Edward Norton will be in the lead roles.. but those are just rumors. some are even suggesting Sean William Scott as Elling and The Rock as the other guy lol.. it'll be a diffrent movie with a diffrent tone, diffrent actors but with the same idea. I hope it works out.

I'm a Star Trek fan(I know, pretty nerdy) so my choice for a shy character would be Barcley from Next Generation. There was a whole episode that dealt with him being shy, very good. Sorry, I know that was a tv show and this is movies, but maybe we can include both in this thread. Awesome example. It was cool to see the first episode he was in because he was a character I could sort of relate to.

i don't know if he's shy so much as agoraphobic, but there are two main characters in this movie and one of them never wants to leave his house. he freaks out when he has contact with people other than his roommate. the two of them have some bad luck and...well...i don't want to spoil the movie for anyone, but let me ask - what would happen if everything in the world you hated disappeared? woops...guess it would help to give the name of the movie huh? it's called 'Nothing'. heheh...sorry bout that. ;D by the way, if you plan to watch this, i wouldn't read most of the movie reviews available online because they give away way too much of the plot. here's a link to one that's not full of spoilers. www.cinemaclock.com/aw/crva.aw/p.clock/r.ont/m.Toronto/j.e/i.6468/f.Nothing.html

Hmm. I think I missed what movie you're talking about. And if everything I hated disappeared, I think I would be living in a sort of hell because there would be nothing to overcome anymore, no more striving, and what is life without the elation of overcoming struggles?
