You lost me at "Sean Penn".

^ same here , I was totally disgusted with him after his "rescues" after Katrina - him in a john boat with a camera crew going around saying they were rescuing peopel when they woudl have sunk the boat if someone was crazy enough to get on, not to mention the reporters following him around using up other boats.

OK END RANT

If I see the book I'll pick it up and see if I like it but don't hold your breath for me to see any sean Penn movie.

He disgusted me long before that.

Way to break it down for us, Carrie!

I'm here to defend Leilani from all of you rude flamers! I am outraged at how you've gone after her for admiring this tragically misunderstood young man ...
You're all a bunch of bomb throwers as far as I'm concerned!

Hey Leilani, can I get some tickets to any of next year's circuit?

DISCLAIMER: The foregoing was a dramatization of how I would post if I were truly offended. Once again, this was only a dramatization. In fact, I just have a crush on Leilani. That is all.

BrianD · #31 11/19/2007, 03:01 PM

You crashed into Leilani? Better find a good lawyer.

batguano · #32 11/19/2007, 03:06 PM

Don't know any.

I will however read the book and discuss it with her or anyone

batguano · #34 11/19/2007, 03:27 PM

preferably her, in person!

batguano · #35 11/19/2007, 06:42 PM

I read the first half of that book about 4 years ago, but put it down because i felt McCandless was a selfish little, pseudointellectual *****(Verb: to poke, as with a pin. Used as a noun in this context). He reminded me of far too many "lost souls" that I met in introduction to writing. I never picked it back up.

Went and saw the movie last night. Great movie, well acted, well written, well casted. It's definately a sad story. I'll pull my pseudointellectual tag, but i still think he's a selfish little *****(see above).

Did they keep all the screaming in the movie, too? Yuck! I remember my husband reading about that guy in a magazine years ago. He sat and read it to me, and I had to ask him to stop. Didn't help that I was several months pregnant at the time! Although I didn't suffer from morning sickness, I still didn't have the somach for that sort of thing!

Hey back off BatTurd!!! I stuck up for her first!!!

Leilani, don't pay any attention to anybody that has a reference to excrement in his name.

I for one just watched the Colbert (sp) Report and guess who was his guest? Sean Penn. Yep and I watched the whole thing!! Spicoli RULES!

So, this dude goes off to Alaska for his wilderness experience with no maps and no supplies and ends up starving to death--in the middle of summer!?! LMAO....please tell me that you find this book in the humor section and the film is a comedy, right?

Are you thinking of the "Grizzly Man?" He lived with the bears in Alaska until one ate him and his girlfriend. This is a different story.

I am a Damsel. Hath not a Damsel eyes? If you pr*ick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? ~Shakespeare

I didn't know that Shakespeare had a fish tank! COOL!

I think its a little wierd that he's tickling little fish though...

Oops! Yep, I was thinking of that crazy guy in Alaska! Thanks Joey! Boy, I need to get out more!
