into the wild. it was a movie i wanted to see. netflixed it, got it in the mail, then saw the running length. 2.5 hrs.
seriously, sean penn? 2.5 hours?
as much as i love emile hirsch, i worry now that i'll only watch as a critic, because good god, few movies need to be 2.5 hrs long. hopefully i'll get over myself and get lost in emile hirsch's awesomeness and not be too distracted by sean penn's indulgent direction.
to be fair to mr. sean penn, another reason i might not be too keen to see his film is that i've read the book, and found it wonderful yet heartbreaking. to get so far, to be so brave and smart, yet to be undone by the minor details is just a killer. plus, i'm excited to finish up the wire!! get out of my way, penn!
