Where The Wild Things Are

[playthe_part]

Is anyone as excited about this movie as I am? It was my favorite book as a kid, when I first heard they were making the movie I was so excited but kinda hoped they wouldn't ruin it for me... you know, never meet your childhood heroes type thing. Now that I have watched the trailer I have high hopes and my excitement is back up.

watch the trailer here:
Apple - Movie Trailers - Where the Wild Things Are (http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/wherethewildthingsare/)

Best movie of 09? I think so.

[Mister.E]

[soreballz]

Fuck yeah, this is gonna be rad!

[WISH ONE]

Oh hell yeah!

[Koopa Troopa]

Fuck yeah! Those monsters were scary as hell!

[JeremyR]

i heard the studio didn't like the direction spike jonze was taking it and made alot of changes. hopefully it doesnt stray too far from what he envisioned. he is an awesome director.

[Hywarp161]

I so have to go see this.

[WERDdabuilder]

Fuck yeah! Those monsters were scary as hell!

fuck yeah homie, i was like HOLY SHIT! A FUCKIN PARROT!!!. i was amazed by the drawings of the monsters.

What is it?

[fromxtor]

Maurice Sendak is the man, I will be going to see this.

[playthe_part]

The only down side I see to this movie is that a bunch of people are going to be Max for Halloween, especially the pseudo hipster kids around my area, which I wanted to do for the past two years but can't find a 'onesy' pajama in my size. Either way, the movie will be awesome, can't wait.

[ronmcdon]

trailer looks awesome!!


Where The Wild Things Are was one of my fav childhood novels.
Very stylish and somewhat morbid artwork and interesting story.
brought back some great memories :)
i'm sure it's something even adults enjoy.
i'm going to go pick this book tomorrow!


song & the editing was cool too.
it's 'Wake Up' from Arcade Fire, for those interested.

[KA-Kait]

arcade fire <3 Very good choice imo. this movie is going to be amazing. me thinks. I loved this book as a kid.

[zorak]

This movie looks like it is going to be garbage.

All of you are crazy.

I don't care if I get flamed.

ETA: I never read the book either.

[articdragon192]

You weren't loved as a child :(

[ericcastro]

Thank god the studio stepped in!!!

The guy does music videos and skateboard videos.
Fucking FAR, from narative film making!

The only thing he did was John Malkovich which was cool, but way off the deep end. And 10 years ago.



I just wish there was more original material coming out.
Kids arent even gonna learn to read anymore.
They will take there "instant gradification" asses to the video store or youtube and never learn how to use there own imagination or creativity.

society is fucked in the future, but hey, fuck humanity, the movie should be cool!!

[PacificDrift_Nick]

i love the book and the trailer looks like they did a good job

[mrjeffr0]

trailor looks awesome, but they need to make a movie of The Giving Tree

[articdragon192]

^ That would be a short ass movie.

[articdragon192]

Bump !

[hOngsterr]

haha,
im watching this fr sure, loved this book when i was in elementary

i wanna get the kid's PJ's as my halloween costume
haha

[DALAZ_68]

im so down for this movie...i remember the books...so awesome when i was a kid

[illvialuver]

yo mike we need to watch this together with Andrew and everybody.

[bl3ujay07]

<-- avatar!!! My favorite book!! Cant wait to go see it. Got the shirt 4 years back and still wearing it lol.

[DALAZ_68]

anyone watch it yet? i havent

[THE PROPHET]

Its a pretty dark and sad movie. Not intended for kids, I went in with a different mindset about the movie since people was thrashing it (Mike Mancuso and Jason Kim) lol. Anywho I had fun picking the characters apart and seeing what they represented. I keep telling people that its one of those movies that your professor will make you write a paper about.

[Sleepy240]

I saw it and I think people who expect it to live up to the book they read as a child will be severly disappointed. As a movie overall its maybe a "B" or 3 out of 5 stars. Like THE_PROPHET said it is dark. Personally I think they took a movie that could have been great and made it just meh.

I agree with you guys. They kill it by not making his room turn into the forrest like the book.

Monsters were kinda creepy :bite:

[silviaguy240]

if they can make a movie out of chicken little they can make it out of any kids book.

[bboyswoosh87]

I went with high expectations to see this movie sadly it disappointed me. Its a good movie but nothing great.

[ManoNegra]

I was too old when I came to the US to be a fan of the book
(although I'm familiar with it)
being a fan of Spike Jonze I knew what I was in for
and the movie delivered
it's dark and surprisingly deep in a psych-college-discussions-way
but definitely not for children
- I heard kids left test screenings crying and hence why the film was delayed a
year (Aracade Fire song used in the trailer was a hit a year ago) and studio stepped in

in any case, I liked the movie a great deal

[g6civcx]

Do not bring children to this movie!

Well, unless you're getting ready to give them a big talk about life/death, sex, etc.

I really wanted to leave halfway through.

[karl wasabi]

Saw the movie Monday night. My girlfriend thought it would be an amazing movie. I thought it was going to suck. I saw the movie with expectations of it being sad and dark, and it was. It was an alright movie I guess. I wouldn't go see it again. The movie gets progressively sadder and sadder. haha.

[greddy2die]

Im going to have to check the movie out, I read the book when i was little but I honestly dont even remember it anymore so I dont think i'll be too disappointed since its not just like the book

[Kid coupie]

Yea its strays from the book big time and has a dark twist to it but like PROPHET said it is one of those movies your Senior english or College proffessor would have you write a paper about....a lot of symbolism and hidden meanings.....i loved it but thats just my opinion....

[illvialuver]

not as good as I thought it was going to be, would have been upset if I took kids to this movie and had to explain to them all the fucked up shit in it.

[napaKAliboog]

HAHAHAHA WTF! I want to see this. but I never read the book. Looked to sad and the drawings weren't my thing. Chika chika boom boom and The Very Hungry Caterpillar!!! was my fav book. The art in TVHC is clean and sexy
