I had a super-hippie teacher for Great Books II that made us read Into The Wild by Krakaur.

I was happy when the over-privileged granola muncher who tried to escape the fascist capitalist society and live with the animals and plants, ironically died either eating poisonous berries or freezing to death.

When I first heard Sean Penn was making a movie about it I rolled my eyes. Haven't seen seen it yet, but it may find its way onto my Netflix queue some day.

I enjoyed that movie and have caught shit for admitting so.

It was a good story, good acting, and stunning cinematography.  The gay sex was hot, too.

You can keep a wooden stake in your trunk
On the off-chance that the fairy tales ain't bunk
And Imma keep a bottle of that funk
To get motel parking lot, balcony crunk.

Actually, he didn't munch enough granola - he starved to death.  That's even stupider.  He knew he was starving, but waited until he was too weak to move and his body was shutting down before he thought "Holy shit, I need help."  His diary/journal reflects this train of thought. And he wasn't THAT far from the road - he was in a well traveled area, and had he decided before he got in too deep that he needed to get help, he could have hiked back out easily.

Too late, buddy, just too late.  Darwinism at its finest.

Wes, if I hadn't read the book, I probably would enjoy the movie too.  My Side of the Mountain is one of my favorite books/movies and I have a healthy respect for people who decide to chuck it all and go native.  I wish I had the courage.  And I bet the scenery was breathtaking - Denali is an incredibly beautiful place.  Most of Alaska is. 

Still, there is a right way and a wrong way.  Prepared and unprepared.  Live free, or die. 

And I haven't seen Brokeback Mountain, but it's not because I won't watch it - I am just waiting for Carl to go on an overnight trip because he flat refuses to let me watch it with him in the house.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

I choose to separate the art from the politics. 

Fuck 'em!  If they espouse their political views in the offensive and demeaning ways that these individuals have become known for, they’re not going to see one damn nickel from me.  I don’t care how “fabulous” their “art” may be.  Sean Penn’s an ignorant asshole.

I think he might have you figured out, and based on his comments in other threads, he'd know.  Those types of guys have gaydar.  It's like a sixth sense for them.  Besides, The Deer Hunter didn't even make your list.

My bad...  You're right.  I guess we're back to only two good movies where he had a role; Taps and Fast Times...  I've seen several of the others on your list, and they just didn't do it for me.  By the way, I don't believe that he had to act very much in "I am Sam", but I think that a lot of his other attempts were stretch-roles for him.
