    Reminds of the plot of the film The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty[0], where the Life magazine was transitioning to digital-only releases.

    Speaking of daydreaming, 2013 wasn't a great year for movies, so I was out of options when I went to see "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" [1], and boy it turned out to be a great one.

    There is a story, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" (1939) [1] that was made into motion pictures in 1947 and 2013 depicting a man who has elaborate, heroic, daydreams. The 2013 film [2], directed by Ben Stiller (who also played Walter Mitty) was an interesting mix of comedy and reality that leaves you contemplating at the end of the movie.
