Who thought the dagger with a face was adorable?

The dagger with a face was so funny. I liked the part when the shadow wiped off the blood from the side of his mouth and then the dagger did the same thing lol

LOL, most people who watched that movie growing up consider the dagger nightmare fuel, though the scene you mention was a bit funny.

"Adorable" is the last word I would use to describe it... ^_^

For some reason my mind is now comparing the dagger to Wall-E.

I don't find it adorable at all, but laugh-out-loud funny, especially the look it gives to the master when he says its name. It's one of the best parts of the movie.

I found that scene extremely bewildering when i watched the movie as a 12 year old. I recalled it when i had a rather strange dream about Alec Baldwin trying to cuddle with me about a year ago or so. Eventually i figured: "You probably watched the same movies i did." and he said "Some of them" in a really menacing voice. Then i woke up.

I had some strange dreams in that time and i wonder if this had something to do with movies. Could they just not insert strange scenes? I feel completely strange. I feel like i should do something violent out of decency.

I bought a replica of that knife. Pretty friggin awesome. It's almost like it's made of stone it's so heavy and I think my version is bigger than the one in the movie. It has 2 faces one side is sleeping and the other side is angry

I got one of the replicas too. Extremely sharp point. I was in the Navy at the time living in the barracks and had it partly hidden away due to room inspections. The Navy had a dim view of anyone having something that looked like a weapon in the barracks. I sure didn't want it taken away so I kept the point of it hidden. It was a pretty kick-ass looking prop replica.

When I was a child I thought it was horrifying. The effects look kind of dated now, but I thought they were real when I was little.
