Imagine if you fell in love with her and you were just another trophy in Cheryl's man collection, another sexual disposable like all other men. I don't think that would have felt so good for you. Don't you think so too?! You seem to be a very likeable, sensitive guy.

Reese gang bang scene with two guys behind filthy diner! Cheryl Strayed herself said that this scene was a bit problematic for her because she never(!) did anything like it! But I didn't mind her being shown in the film. So. Why is such a scene shown in a supposedly completely authentic, autobiographical film adaptation? Well, because it stimulates the viewer's interest. Very easily. Sweet Reese in a dirty gangbang behind the filthy diner - but hello! You must have seen that! Do you understand now, Roger, how this works - both in the book and in the film?!Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09491779737496663386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333541691333550838.post-6994264011199366972023-08-08T03:35:08.968-07:002023-08-08T03:35:08.968-07:00That someone injects a heroin shot two days before...That someone injects a heroin shot two days before the trail, that despite the greatest effort with both hands and arms, he can't get the backpack even a millimeter(!) off the ground, so that after three steps "collapses" in the hotel room... - and then 1,100 miles that works?!

And I understand, since you met Cheryl personally on the trail, so you have an emotional closeness to her, you like her (very) and you protect her here in your comment. But honestly - do you REALLY believe every detail of her story?! I honestly don't and I also have quite a bit of experience as a hiker, as a mountaineer. And I'm just of the opinion that she shouldn't lie to her readers in an (alleged) autobiography, or that parts of the story should be marked as fiction or fictitious. But okay. Maybe I'm doing Cheryl Stayed an injustice. Who knows. Only she knows the truth...Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09491779737496663386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333541691333550838.post-68123246934188094572023-04-19T14:26:15.764-07:002023-04-19T14:26:15.764-07:00I accidentally found this blog.

She claimed she walked all of it. Fact checked? Right. Every place she signed is reachable by car, and conversely, none of the places reachable only by hiking have her signature.<br /><br />The anger comes in the opening comment above: stolen valor.<br /><br />My objection is that it's clearly fiction. She tries really hard to portray herself in a good light, yet you don't have to read that much into the narrative to determine Cheryl Strayed Is A Very Bad Person. (Shooting a horse with a .22? Really? She should be in jail!) Now make that a very rich person, based on exaggerations, lies, and outright fiction. (The bow hunters? With huge packs even though they're a mile from their truck? Not in hunting season? Without water? But they leered at the terribly sexy hiker?). <br /><br />It's the same thing with James Frey's A Million Little Pieces. Suffering porn for the weak-minded.

I am in awe. <br /><br />but your anger at cheryl strayed is weird. she was an acknowledge hiking idiot who didnt know what she was doing and admitted to her failures and stupidity. her book was fact checked and her story has been confirmed by the hikers she met on the parts of the trail ahead did complete. including here https://wild.pcta.org/2015/01/28/greg-first-person-story-wild/<br /><br />and in the sign in books along the trail parts she did. <br /><br />so hate her writing. hate that she got so much attention for not completing a hike (in truth if she was lying why not lie all the way and say she did hike it all? in for a penny...) hate her heroin use and her dead mother and cheating on her husband. <br /><br />but when there is clear 3rd party evidence that she did in fact hike the parts of the trail - why waste your energy railing against that part?

I remember the opening scenes where she struggles to put on "Monster" (or whatever she called her pack) and thinking that it was impossible. At the time, I blamed the movie people not Cheryl. Then she got to the part with the bow hunters. In the middle of the movie, I turned to my wife and said, "That didn't happen." I stopped watching the movie and hit the internet. I found your site, and had a much more enjoyable evening.<br /><br />I sent you a few bucks a while back, before you had to abort your first cross-country trek. I'm so glad you finally made it! I'm' looking forward to your book where you hook up with every guy you meet, EXCEPT the scary ones who are most likely able to help you.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04235575159895281961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1333541691333550838.post-15937405118695670502018-10-11T15:23:36.215-07:002018-10-11T15:23:36.215-07:00Thank you for putting the finger right on what I d...Thank you for putting the finger right on what I disliked about Wild.
