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.
