It's a good film. But I wouldn't put that on any need to see list...

How do you feel about "Grand Theft Parsons"? I was in California following the news reports while that was happening...

Hmm, will have to check out this Grand Theft Parsons. I really think Man on Wire is fabulous, but to each his own. The dude's got a huge ego and kinda a d!ck, but his presence was very powerful. And plus it's set like a heist film. Entertaining and on the edge of your seat

Uneven documentary about a couple of dumb*** mountain climbers who try a never before attempted climb in the Andes. They run out of supplies, one falls, breaks his leg, & has to be lowered down the rest of the mountain by his partner. Of course, his partner accidentally lowers him off a cliff & cuts him loose, so he falls into a crevace & has to drag himself the rest of the way to the base camp. The renactments for most of the movie are fairly well done, but they just get really strange at the end.

Insult to injury...the guy finally drags himself down the mountain, only to find out his "buddy" burnt all of his clothes.

I loved that that was what seemed to bother him the most about the entire ordeal.

I watched this a few years ago and forget much of the context. What I remember is that those dudes were extremely extremely lucky and pretty much condemned by the entire mountaineering society. I don't fault their spirit or decision making though. I wonder if they're still friends.

According to the epilogue, what the mountaineering community condemned was the decision to cut the guy with the broken leg loose instead of McGuyvering some solution or getting dragged down the mountain along with him (of course, he didn't really seem to search very hard for him the next day either so that might have come into play as well). It said the guy with the broken leg defends the decision to cut him loose, so they were at least sort of friendly up to the filming of the documentary.

If i recall correctly, didn't the dude without the broken leg wait forever for a signal that his buddy was ok? I mean, in that situation, what would you do? It's not like he could see him. He coulda been dead for all he knew.

I'm looking forward to this one. It's got a great action cast. I just hope the story is decent. I'm not real impressed with the quality of writing that usually comes out of Hollywood these days...
