Miscellaneous Movie Musings

[Alex]

I haven't seen the movie, nor read the book.

But we were up in Alaska a couple weeks before the movie opened and Penn had just announced they would premier it up in Fairbanks, so it was a pretty steady topic of conversation in the various local papers.

It was interesting to see the contrast between how it appeared the movie would portray him and the local perception. Alaskans (at least those talking about it in newspapers) seem to pretty consistently view him as an idiot of the highest order.

Still interested in the movie but at this point it looks like it will wait for DVD.
