As I mentioned in the post I am curious to watch the film and I probably would really like it.. my commentary above was based on the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://lx.com/drinks/2007/04/20/tribeca-film-festival-special-steep/" rel="nofollow">interview I posted</a> with the producers. I probably didn't get my point across too well.. I am sure they did a great job telling the story, but if some of the poor ski bums in Alta had a multi million dollar budget they would tell the story just as good if not better (because they're closer to the life of the subjects in their own reality..). Again, I don't think I made my point very clearly so I hope too many people don't take offense to what I said. Glad someone is reading my rants, though! I knew it wouldn't take me long to get into trouble with this blog.. :) Hey Kendall, I did watch the trailer and it was touching.

Did you not feel anything? I find it hard to believe that you, of all people in the ski world, didn't feel a desire to watch more after the trailer. Sure, trailers have a way of distorting the entire film but that glimpse of Doug had my interest piqued. I posted it on my blog last week and have watched it multiple times. I think a good story teller can tell a story well even if they are not the salty Alta ski bum type. I'm calling this one innocent until proven guilty. Did you watch the trailer?
