Where The Wild Things Are
Jimmy the Squid:
This doesn't come out til December 3.
Motherfuck.
Inlander:
Yeah, and they're really inflating the hype balloon early on this one. Did you notice how a couple of weeks ago it was the cover story for all the Australian weekend papers' arts & review lift-outs? Usually that happens when a film's opening in a week or two, not a month or two.
Jimmy the Squid:
Well it was filmed in Victoria and is getting a bunch of good reviews already so I guess they want to get in on the hype before it's old hat. Still, I can't think of a valid reason for it to not be brought out here. I mean there is shit all for it to compete with at the moment.
jimbunny:
Guys, it's not depressing. I don't know if you were watching the last 15 minutes or so, but there is definitely a resolution, and it is not tragic. Non-verbal, subtle, really well done (to my mind), and at the very least OK if not full-blown Happy. As for kids, the edgy moments are on par with something like Coraline - maybe a little scarier. And I think kids would get something out of it. It struck me as being true to childhood in ways that very few movies are.
Plus, the island is Max's subconscious. Here's a pretty good essay to that effect. An interesting interpretation of the ending to boot.
JD:
Saw it this weekend. It's a pretty fantastic film.
