popeye,

The first preview I saw had me skeptical but it was the shorter preview and it was more of a portrayal of a celebration of life and freedom which is only half of what went on. Then last night I saw In the Valley of Elah and there was a long preview and near the end it showed what looked like a withered Hirsch balled up, rocking back in forth or something and also showed some close up shots of panic on his face. Maybe Charlie can tell a little more.

Yea, Desert Solitaire is a must read.

Hmmm i might have to watch this. Im usually just really hesitant to watch movies based on books i enjoy.

I think it did a decent job of portraying McCandless as an idealist and a selfish [censored] bag.

This was the impression i got sometimes from the book. I wanted to like the guy but he did alot of things i just didnt respect.
