now I really hate Enchanted

We saw Into the Wild last night, which had the misfortune of being released the same year as Juno. It's pretty good, which was expected from Sean Penn, but to my shock and surprise, the folksy soundtrack didn't make me want to claw my eyes out. Because when hard rockers sing soft songs, it sounds pretty damn good. I knew this, but I didn't expect to enjoy Eddie Vedder doing it. You would have thought that would have gotten the attention of the Oscar fucks, but I guess not.

disclaimer: although I watched the Oscars, I muted every single musical number. Because otherwise my eardrums would have imploded. Still glad Disney lost.

(The movie is about a young man who goes to live on the land in the Alaskan wilderness near Mt. McKinley, the two years preceding this journey, and the months leading to his death.)

I still maintain that is a creepy fucking book for your ex to mail to you out of the blue.

I... won't deny it. But I don't know what you mean.

I liked it. Gave a bit of depth to the movie, which was already enjoyable. It made me realize how little I understand men :)
