You don’t need to lace up the gloves for me. By the way, ignore the childish insults on the comment pages. They are written by cowards who wouldn’t fight you even if you literally spit in their faces.

“Into The Wild” is one of the first movies to make me want to go to the theaters for the first time in a long time. I work in a book store. I’ve been wanting to read the book, but I’m one of those see-the-movie-first-then-read- the-book guy. It makes no sense to ruin your experience of the movie by pining for scenes in the book that movie makers can’t possibly recreate or imagine certain scenes the same way that you can.

The Jesse James movie I’m on the fence about. It looks good and Brad Pitt is an underrated actor. I don’t know if any version of Jesse James’ story makes it compelling enough for me to catch it on the big screen. Maybe I’ll rent it on DVD if the movie gets some Oscar buzz and nominations.
