Spike Jonze' "Where The Wild Things Are"

I thought I would try something different today. I wanted to coordinate posts about Spike Jonze' movie, "Where The Wild Things Are", on two or more sites today. The movie opens in theaters tomorrow (October 16) and I'm going to see it!

I've watched more than one trailer for the movie but the "official" trailer is below. People have expressed real enthusiasm when they've seen this trailer (and others) in theaters where I've seen it. And I think the fact that Maurice Sendak, author of the book on which the movie is based, was involved in the production of the film only promises that it will stay true to the spirit of the original story.

Sendak's tale of a child who goes on an adventure with the wild monsters he was afraid of when he went to bed helped make the night a little more interesting for many children. It's a time-tested tale that inspires the imagination and gets you to thinking about what you would do if you were lucky enough to be in Max's place.



And you may recall that I recently ranted about about bad Warner Brothers' movie sites are. Well, they did a better job for the official site than they have done for other movies' sites, but they could have done so much more. I just don't understand how movie studios cannot come to grips with reality on the Web: people want MORE, not LESS.
