Quentin Tarantino was on Joe Rogan. Worth a listen -- Joe mostly just let him talk about his movies.

So I've been organizing my movies. I'm struggling a little on Rambo. War or Action movie? I'm leaning towards Action. Same thing with Red Dawn. Yeah its WWIII but its make pretend.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I like both a lot, though ItW is clearly superior. Can't really buy Reese Witherspoon as a damaged whore, and the weird rapey bit near the end was out of place.

But I'm a sucker for movies about dropping it all and going into the wilderness to find oneself.

i don't think i ever finished wild, so i don't have much to say about it.

i enjoyed into the wild. i'd read the book just before the movie came out. then i bought it on iTunes a year ago--it was on sale for $6.99 or something--and convinced my wife to watch it. she was very upset i asked her to watch, especially after she learned it was based on a true story.

I'm with you though. i love stories about people leaving their lives behind to get some perspective.
