What 'Into The Wild' Taught Me

by Sarah Schneider on

1) If Sean Penn’s directorial debut taught me anything, it’s that Sean Penn could not direct himself out of a paper bag.

2) Not even the toughest wilderness conditions can stop a 23 year old boy from writing with bubble letter exclamation points.

3) When in doubt, splice together a montage from leftover footage. When you’re not sure the montage is working, add a gratuitous full-frontal nudity shot.

4) DON’T EAT THE POTATO ROOT!!!!1

What did you guys think about Into the Wild? I’ll join you in the comments for a discussion if you’re game. Or not, that’s cool too, I mean, no big deal or whatever.

Admiral D!ck

I use to work at a Military Rec. Center in the boat rental. The rules were easy 1.first come first serve, 2.rank does not matter, 3.and have a military id, will travel; they could rent boats and go fishing or partying. 6 months prior to graduating boot camp a group of marines reserved the "party barge" (BIG a$$ pontoon) this also happened to be Memorial Weekend.... Read More » Soo, the fresh little newbie's have loaded up the party barge with beer and what not and this Navy Admiral walks up without reservations and orders them to "Disembark and relinquish" the boat. All the new marines snap to attention and start unloading. The admiral than orders them to leave there fishing equipment and beer to save him time and expense. Seeing this I walk up and inform the Admiral "no reservations, no boat, your sol." Admiral orders to see my boss (I am the boss) and say "go to the big white house in DC and file your complaint there" Admiral "What's your name and rank! I'll have you marshaled!" Me "my name is ___" having no rank because I'm a civilian I stick my butt out and while pointing to my posterior "my rank is kiss this." Mr. Admiral d!ck wad storms off mumbling something about MPs and I help the marines out of the dock and with them a happy party. I do so love p!ssing of military officers.
