Read the book by Jon Krakauer (Into Thin Air). Read some prelim stuff on the movie, sounds better than the book. Just heard a cut from the soundtrack and it was awesome.

1. And it was "actually" filmed in Alaska |
|
not Washington like most other movies about Alaska. That makes it all right in my book.

2. Shit. I have to hurry up and read the book then........... |
|
I'm sure Penn will do a good job, but its never as good as the novel.
I love Krakauer's work, even though Under The Banner of Heaven was depressing as all get-out.

6. Into the Wild is the most depressing nonfiction book I have ever read. |
|
It's right in there with Where the Red Fern Grows if you count fiction too. :(
