    Non-basketball thing: I finished the book "Into The Wild" today. I know it's been out forever, but I had never read it. I knew most of the story and even saw the movie, but that book is going to stick with me for a while. Highly recommended if you haven't read it yet.

    I initially followed Jane on the other app and continue to follow her here because her take on Into The Wild is extremely correct, that movie sucks ass and Chris McCandless can most charitably be described as a naive fool. The sad truth of the story is that nature does not suffer fools gladly.

She appears in the last third of the film, but there's an echo of her presence that's long lasting, you should meet her” - Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu to Walter Salles about Kristen Stewart, 2007🏜️❤️

    #EarWorm My favorite movie is Into The Wild. If you've never seen it, watch it if only for the soundtrack. I think this is the only non-Eddie Vedder song in the lot. See comments for that version. This is my favorite version of Prine's song, featuring Raitt.

    Day 13 - Pearl Jam Bonus Hard Sun - From the 2007 soundtrack for the film Into The Wild. Hard Sun was written & originally rec. by Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Peterson, who performed under the name Indio. The song gained widespread mainstream popularity in '07 when Eddie recorded the cover.

    "Into the Wild" is an amazing story. The movie though hits me hard. The Eddie Vedder soundtrack was so powerful we used it in our wedding. The final scenes with Mr. Franz just waterworks me every time. Every... single.. time I watch it. It's a master actor Hal Holbrook and I don't feel bad.

    Having had a minor con for a father, none of this surprises me. Also -- the movie would have been WAY more interesting if it was about them denying/running away from what they'd done. (see also "Into the Wild" would have been richer for knowing, that Chris McCandless was fleeing an abusive father).

    As shown in the film 'Into The Wild'. An ex showed me the film 'Into The Wild' and said it was his favourite film and McCandless was his hero. I think he was a div who starved to death for some romanticised notion of running away.
