Where The Wild Things Are
JD:
Yeah, they retooled the characters a bit. Still one of my favorite children books.

Although I don't remember any characters resembling the actors that are billed to be in it. I need to find that book again.

Based on a childrens book. I thought it was one of those horribly obscure picture books that no-one would ever know about. I guess I was wrong.

Considering that Spike Jonze is set to direct it, and that the book itself is, ultimately, a feel-good book, I have serious concerns. Spike Jonze kicks ass, but are Adaptation and Being John Malkovich really feel-good movies? Hell no. They are weird, weird shit. I'm afraid that this movie is going to turn into an LSD trip for kids.
God I love being contrarian. Okay, Where the Wild Things Are isn't *exactly* a feel-good book, but it's damn near close to it. Anyone who is demanding something edgy and depressing from this film is sorely deluded about the source material. It's going to be weird but, because Mr. Jonze is directing it, I have high hopes that it won't be "whacky silly kids love the craziest things am i rite other tool movie producers lulz?" Based upon the trailer, it looks like a very accurate- and endearing- adaptation of the source material.
I swear, if they made a movie version of the Lorax there are idiots out there who would complain about it "not being true to the book" if the Lorax weren't addicted to heroin and beat up kids for their lunch money. Not everything is edgy and cool. Some books we remember fondly from our childhood we remember fondly because they were AWESOME, but not because they pandered to our loser 20-something moral codes, but because they were imaginative, entertaining, and structured so that a child could EASILY UNDERSTAND IT. Also, RAAAAGGGEEEEE.
I love everyone.
