I Don't Like Feeling Emotion

But I felt a little while watching the first trailer for Spike Jonze's Where The Wild Things Are. It kind of feels like I ate bad oysters. Hopefully if I stick a TUMS up my ass the feeling will go away.

I think it's the Arcade Fire song and all that fur basking in the hipstery morning light. I'm so fucking easy. I mean, CGI monsters crying actually gets to me! Ugh. I just bent over and let this trailer have its way with me. But instead of doing me in the ass with loogies instead of lube, it hugged me tight. That's gross.

And now I finally know what Tammie Brown meant when she said, "I don't see you out there walking children in nature."

Was the book really that epic?
************************************************

I'd say that Maurice Sendak's work in general was pretty epic; Where the Wild Things Are was his most popular book. He did a lot of other stuff that I wish got more attention, but he's right up there with Mercer Mayer and who was that other wonderful illustrator? Tommy DiPaola (he did Stone Soup) anybody remember? sheesh I suck

Wow! I didn't dare watch this at work without sound so I (very impatiently) waited until I got home. Awwwwwww! I think it looks great.

Forest Whitaker, Catherine O'Hara! Screenplay co-written by Dave Eggers, cool!

Eggers is a co-founder of a wonderful program here in SF called 826 Valencia, a sort of imagination/writing workshop for kids. It's located in the back of an awesome place called The Pirate Store. I think it's so fitting that he is involved in this movie.

Yay! happeeeee

I'm sick of preparing myself for disappointment with every new movie trailer. This looks cute! It looks acceptable! It MUST be lying to me.

So many innovations have been made in Hollywood for special effects-CG, blowing shit up but these things still look like Luto from Labyrith.

-----------------

I think I read that Spike Jonze didn't want to use CGI in this movie and I for one think it's refreshing.

And it's impossible not to feel something listening to that song.

Spielberg would do the book justice.

sure, i commented on openpost. and no i dont have an account there

--------------

Wait...where is the open post? I can't find it and I'm missing all of the good snark of MK.

You should get an account there. My fav was watching 'girls watching guys on cam cum'. Christie Brinkley's ex, Peter Cook was a regular of mine a few years ago. But you can watch live cams all over the world.

I met the BBF there because we are both deviant. I love that site. It's free but guys don't get to mail people unless they pay. Girls can. Love the live cams though. Free porn and you can tell the people what to do. Heaven for a perv like me.

How is this even going to be a movie without fucking up the entire thing? The book has what? Like 40 pages, some of which don't even have text, and about a hundred words? Is there nothing Hollywood won't ruin?

I'm gonna put an ad on my blog and maybe craigslist or passion...Somewhere for a gay guy pal. Not a messy queen. I doubt, Prov, I would meet up with you as my boyfriend just finally got rid of the last competing suitor (tenant who went to DR) and another moved to Florida when they realized I really am with the BF and there was no chance for them. Whattaya gonna do?

Sure what? Do you have an account on Passion.com by any chance? It's another name for AFF, owned by them. Not those cheeseballs who spam here. I cracked up the other day in the Jade Goody post when some foreign spammer posted that they saw many hot vids on wealthyfucks.com or something and a commenter here said, "What? Videos of her dying?"

Don't set up a closet and waste money on elecricity. As soon as mid may rolls around, just plant it outdoors. Put the seeds in a glass of water with just a hint of bleach to sterilize them. The ones that sink to the bottom, toss. The rest just plant in pots or even better in the ground. It's called weed for a reason. Grow outdoors.

I get all choked up every time I read it to my kids. It's unBEARably sad. The kids seem rather unmoved, though.

BLARG! The made my stomach hurt too. Way too hipster wannabe crap. But I guess a lot of kids who read it are all the hipster wannabes now. I'll save judgment until after seeing the whole movie but the trailer blows hard, in my own opinion of course!:)

Hmm, this did nothing for me. Maybe it's because I don't recall the book ever doing anything for me when I was little. One book from my childhood that still makes me tear up though, is The Giving Tree. Yeah...that book is pretty fucking boring. Kind of like me.

That line is priceless. Have you checked out that funny blog www.stuffwhitepeoplelike.com?

It was up for a bloggie too just like Dlisted. Forgot what category.

I'm so dying for this movie. Then again, Jonze can do no wrong between his music videos and Being John Malkovich.

And I'm also surprised that I don't yet see one of those annoying "OMG, I love them! I totally thought I saw them on i'mawhoreforrichdouches.kom - you should check it out!" comments yet.

It looks like Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeah's will be writing the whole soundtrack for this movie.

Wow, I got goosebumps while watching it. Spike Jones is an amazing director. He's made good movies but his music videos are amazing (Fatboy Slim's Weapon Of Choice and Praise You, Bjork's It's Oh So Quiet, etc.).

I cried, too and I don't even know why. I know I read this book when I was a kid, but it didn't make much of an impression on me.

God help me if they make Mike Mulligan and the Steam Shovel, though. I'll have to get the Costco-sized pallet of Kleenex.

M.E.'s picture

I don't know how to feel. It looks good, like Spike stuck to the original story, but I'm skeptical.

Allthough, my son will be really, really excited to see this. He read the book in his reading program this summer and was immediatly in love with it.

cio_cio-san's picture

I started bawling. I'm glad that you guys cry over stuff like this too. I was starting to think I had depression or some shit.

I know I read that book when I was little but I can't remember the story.

I read this book over and over and over as a kid and was expecting ridiculousness.

I SOOOOO want to see this now.

They MADE THE BOOK COME ALIVE.
