Maccabee
Dang...I wish my brother bought that while he was in durango.
Actually I dont think that exists but he some some people on the street selling movies that dont come out for a few years.

I saw the preview to this when I went to the movies yesterday and I heard people saying that it looked creepy laugh.gif But I still can't wait to see this.
Joanne
I think the main wild thing looks adorable!! And I imagined the boy to be much younger than this... at least two years younger.

Oh well, I'm still flipping excited!!! I actually never read the book until a couple of days ago at the school bookstore. I loved it.

Man, this almost makes me tear up (in a good way).
Insurmountable

I'm so excited! Yeah I don't know why the use of Arcade Fire in movie trailers makes me happy. But it's great. :D:D

Looks cute. But all I know is James Gandolfini & Paul Dano are featured voices. Who'd want to hear a mafia furry monster? shifty.gif

I saw this on Sunday. It was pretty okay for a movie aimed at kids, surprisingly refreshing in the face of most Disney-esque kids movies. Good art direction, too. But...

I'm a bit concerned how one can make an entire movie out of a 20 page or so book?

But it looks cute lol

it's not a kid movie; that is to say, it was not conceived, written, or directed as a children's film. spike has said, in interviews, that it is specifically for young adults who had read the book when they were kids.

It obviously has a "I read this book as a kid, and now that I'm an adult I want to make a movie out of it" feel. Even while watching, I could tell that the filmmaker probably enjoyed the book as a kid (like I did) and wanted to make a movie as a sort of homage to it, as an adult (as I am now, too). This explains the ~20-year gap between the publishing of the book and the making of the film. I mean to say that it's a kids' movie in the sense that children will go to see it, and adults will probably take their kids to see it, too -- which doesn't make a film a "kids' movie" in the Disney sense, but that's what I meant by my use of the term.

it was actually published in 1963.

anyways: i really liked the movie; i enjoyed the complexity of its allegory. i thought it was a very sincere examination of adolescent rage, frustration, anxiety, isolation, and ego full of truly bizarre & stirring moments. really, the effects and the soundtrack alone are worth the ticket; it's just nice that the story is pretty interesting too.
