Welcome to 2009, where on October 16th my last and possibly most fondest child hood memory of my Aunts reading Maurice Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are" to me, will be raped by Hollywood in... it's quest to ruin everything I thought was great as a child.
I read this story to my son for almost 3 years straight at least 2 times a week. I love this book. I have this book almost completely memorized. I am sure that I own at least 3 copies of this book, one that my Aunts (Aunt Lyn my godmother) gave me as a child, that my mother then gave to her when she had children that she gave back to me, when Eric was born.
It is redeeming to see that Spike Jonze is directing it and really seems to care about makeing a film that doesn't suck.
The people who made Transformers, Terminator 4 and G.I. Joe should all go see this movie. If the movie is 1/2 as good as the trailer they might learn something.
Hollywood please stop making movies that suck, just because you think I am a 30 something guy with kids who will say "AUGH COOL I use to watch/read/play with that when I was Eric's age. Eric will love it!"
Here is the trailer, enjoy it, I did.
