Into The Wild
I just got back from seeing Into The Wild, the new Sean Penn movie. I saw it in one of those theaters movies go to before they die... or at least before they hit DVD. So if you want to see it, you might have to do some searching. I still highly recommend you see it. Not only is Emile Hirsch very VERY easy on the eyes, but it's a really intense story with some of the most beautiful landscapes and untouched wilderness imaginable. A review or two may say it's slow, or boring, but that's just bullshit... its something that actually rests on plot and story rather than sex, violence, and special effects... all full of impossible fight scenes and shit blowing up. And though I love all those things respectably, and this movie had none (or very little) of them, it still managed to blow my mind. Honestly, it's just a really good story... not too sad (or unexpectedly sad), not unbelievable (because it's based on truth), just simple, real, and admirable. If you think you can sit through something that rests on that alone, go for it, you won't be disappointed.

Oh yes... and I finally have a new phone. My Razr has passed on, or rather, I have retired it to a box in my closet. It has failed me for the last time. I now have a reliable Samsung... so Motorola can suck it. That as well has improved my day immensely.

heh i heard the rangers (in Alaska i think this takes place in?) were actually really pissed at this movie, because lots of dumb retards starting coming up and going "into the wild" without knowing what the fuck they were doing and getting lost and/or dying and they kept having to deal with it.

oh well. still kinda wanna see it though.

And rightly so... they should be pissed. If these idiot should have gotten anything out of this movie it should have been from the ending. I don't want to spoil the end for you, but any idiot who tries to go into the wild in Alaska should have taken a fucking hint from this movie... it's very VERY difficult to survive. If you do, you're lucky, but death is not just a possibility, it's more like a probability, unless you are really knowledgeable and equally prepared.

The stupidity of people never ceases to amaze me. It's like when all the car racing movies come out and people think they'll try racing their cars at over 100+ miles an hour... and then they end up dead. The guy in this movie knew some basic stuff, and still managed to do things I'd rather not do to survive, as well as make mistakes that he suffered for... My take? These fucktards have it coming. Let nature eat 'em up!
