choked up TWICE




i hate these movies...so insanely good, but leave me depressed as shit

7/24/2008 3:42:19 AM

i read the book a while, ive been meaning to see this

7/24/2008 3:44:42 AM

oh well, I loved it. amazingly directed and written, would recommend to anyone. if you haven't seen it, prepare to have that "want to be happy for everyone but still depressed as fuck" feeling afterward


^ never read the book so I don't know how it compares, but the movie is amazing

[Edited on July 24, 2008 at 3:47 AM. Reason : sadf]

7/24/2008 3:46:34 AM

i'm with NC86

just as well i watched it on a plane or i would've wanted those 148 minutes back

7/24/2008 7:26:17 AM

While I was watching this movie I kept thinking of the scene in Pulp Fiction where Jules is telling Vincent that he wants to leave everything behind and travel from place to place having adventures. Vincent says something like, "Yeah, there's a word for that. It's called a bum, you want to be a bum."

7/24/2008 7:31:52 AM

the book is better

sean p33n could have done a better job with the directing. i still enjoyed it though. the music with eddie vedder was great.

dude, you gotta see that one

It looked cheesey as hell in the previews, but probably one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time (it is retarded, but hilarious nonetheless)

khcadwal, you hurt my feelings with this post. i thought the sound track was great

7/24/2008 9:13:07 AM

i did like the soundtrack

i just got the impression he was trying to make a statement, but failed miserably

the movie sucked donkey balls

rich kid tries to make a point, dies because he did something stupid, and then gets a movie for it

a lot of stupid people die every day, but they don't get movies

the soundtrack sucked

if he could have held on for 2 more weeks, he would have been found by moose hunters

or if he went a quarter mile further downstream there was a hunting lodge....and it didn't look like he had it so fucking rough he could've at least holla'd at his sister...and eddie vedder was the worst/funniest thing ever...it is just him making a bunch of fucking noises trying to sound like an indian or some shit... soundtrack is laugh out loud bad...should have just played ten over the movie and saved us all from listening to new Eddie Vedder

that's right, i had forgotten about that

inorite...that kind of pissed me off, too

all-in-all, he wasn't really as much "into the wild" as he originally thought, eh?

7/24/2008 12:46:33 PM

christ almighty, you people have no soul

7/24/2008 3:06:52 PM

i hated all the cliche shots. and all the christ like portrayals of him. so what, he got along with some hippies. does that make him christ? nooo. and like him in LA looking in a window and seeing his reflection and then seeing himself as a business man. oh wow that is really moving and creative. and did we really need one more shot to illustrate the point of the movie? i think we got it the first million times. like uhh when he left his family and burned all his money and social security card, etc. we get it. he was disenchanted with society. i just didn't need a million cliche shots and a shitty eddie vedder songs ever 5 seconds to reiterate.

my apologies to the eddie vedder fans
