Sure, ask away...


Kidding, I think its a weak version of Walden Pond. I also think it was boring as hell. I even enjoyed The hatchet and brians winter better. I know those last two books had a different idea behing them, but thats more of what I was hoping for from Into the Wild. Also, I feel its overrated because every college kid in the 'indie' scene jumped all over it. From reviews and trailers I thought there would be much more to the movie. I know i'll prob get tore up for that last sentence.
