a movie about me hiking the trail would be a cult classic

[mweinstone]

obviously. no one has the love of trail combined with the unboundingly creative ways i hike and the weird things i do like make freak art in the woods and mess with freaks. nobody! a major motion picture comedy hike. it would be a blockbuster. let me show you guys just exactly what can be done with a thruhike. you could never guess. i have ideas. big plans. and powerfull allies. any producers in here?




shameless yogi will be my screen name
the part of baltimore jack tarlin will be played by bruce springstein
the part of two beers will be played by nicole kidman
the part of bag o' tricks will be played by toney saprano
the part of ron haven will be played by dr shock

i can see it,

A Clockwork Orange II

Matty volunteers for an experimental aversion therapy developed by the government in an effort to solve society's hiking problems... but not all goes to plan.

Why don't you actually do a thru before you blabber on about making a film about one?

[Tabasco]

does 8 people qualify as a cult?

[hikerboy57]

have you contacted george romero?

[mweinstone]

i know one hollywood producer. i grew up with him and see him on rittenhouse square sometimes when selling my art. i run my ideas by him and he shoots them down. maby ill call him. he made the movie walkabout.

You could make one about a guy who goes crazy hammering shingles all day. You could call it "Roofer Madness".

the secret to nailing roof is to never let anyone pay you to use a numatic nailer and learn how to sling nails from your fingers like a mac 10 with a 30 clip. then its just a matter of breathable undys and a place to sit that isnt 12billion kelvin.i use leaves from overhanging branches to make a steaming seat nest. most times i just come home with an ass burn in the shape of an upsidedown ace of spades.

You're already a cult classic..... :)

What about a hardcore drama like..."2180 Mile" (wiki says the AT is now 2181)...a hiker struggles to complete the trail with only his close friends supporting him. Hunger, money, and his druggy, alcoholic mom always seem to hold him down. He tries to sing his way to Maine.

or

Nightmare on Matthews Trail...no one ever thinks about the funny guy. woohahaha

Agreed.Sometimes the written word is better than film.(although I can anticipate the credits will not include capitals.
