I went to see the Walk in the Woods movie Saturday night. It was entertaining and I enjoyed it but it was not much about actual backpacking. I am not a prude but the language was worse than I felt it had to be. I read some reviews after seeing the movie and the main consensus was that it moved way too slow. No action.

As a person who goes to a movie every couple of years and not having watched television in years I obviously am out of the loop. The previews before the movie show what I and the Walk in the Woods movie is missing. Movies need car crashes, beating up on people, sex and lots of guns. If the previews are any indication of American values we are in deep trouble.

I guess that I will take my backpack and crawl back into my cave in the woods.
