You might think that a movie like this would be full of cliched musings about the nature of solitude and the beauty of the wild. You would be wrong. It's quite simply just a guy building a house in the woods and it is beautiful. Find this movie today, men.

I've read the book they published of his journals. You should check it out Argo. Gives you even more insight into the life. It's great

I'll look at it, but I can't imagine a book could come close to giving me the type of pleasure the movie gave me. Just watching him work was the best part.

It was a simpler time.

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 saw Sixteen Candles for the first time about 10 years ago. And I was shocked.
