3/25/2009 2:51:59 PM

3/25/2009 2:54:24 PM

dave eggers and motion pictures?

3/25/2009 2:56:25 PM

Loved that book

3/25/2009 2:57:08 PM

ah, hollywood tries to ruin a childhood classic once again

3/25/2009 2:57:55 PM

^ it's spike jonze and he's been working on it for six years

if it's not good i'll be flabbergasted

3/25/2009 3:00:40 PM

i'll take $10 on flabbergastration

3/25/2009 3:02:48 PM

i just noticed:

music by carter burwell (quality) and karen o (wacky)

3/25/2009 3:14:00 PM

i am thoroughly convinced that this is going to be one of the most perfect films ever

3/25/2009 3:22:03 PM

Great book. Don't remember it having enough 'plot' to make a full length movie though. So, we'll see how hollywood will change it.

3/25/2009 6:02:08 PM

Please for the love that is good in this universe don't suck.

3/25/2009 6:03:22 PM

I really want to see that! That is def my kind of movie.

3/25/2009 6:13:29 PM

i'm taking my kid to see this, it looks exciting.

3/25/2009 6:17:50 PM

yep...

3/25/2009 6:19:23 PM

you know that actually looks pretty good, i just hope it doesnt start replacing the book for kids to read it first

3/25/2009 6:26:41 PM

the movie is 90 minutes long and requires, at least initially, a theater

the book is a ten minute read

it won't replace anything

3/25/2009 6:30:17 PM

i'm psyched.

3/25/2009 6:32:06 PM

Hmm, are we sure it's still a kiddie movie?

3/25/2009 6:42:45 PM

If they were smart they would make it enjoyable for the kiddies yet add in subtleties for us old folks that grew up with the book and would garner a different appreciation.

3/25/2009 6:51:14 PM

I read Where the wild things are to my son every night before he goes to bed. He loves it.

3/25/2009 6:52:46 PM

thank god they're muppets and not cgi

3/25/2009 6:55:55 PM

Amazing how "adults" lose their shit over a children's picture book.

If you are over the age of 21 and read harry potter / twilight, you have failed at life.

3/25/2009 7:00:17 PM

3/25/2009 7:03:07 PM

book is great and I really didnt know how they would make this into a good movie, but that trailer looked awesome!

3/25/2009 7:03:35 PM

^^ the dif with this is that we all read this as a kid.

3/25/2009 7:04:59 PM

This October, me and my parents will rebond!!!!

I'm ready.

you're one of those people who didn't get all the fuss about wall-e, aren't you?

3/25/2009 7:19:51 PM

i got chills. i've been waiting for this to come out for a while. and to add to it, i love spike jonze's work, so this is perfect.

3/25/2009 7:22:41 PM

i got chills as well

and i still get chills watching it and i've watched it about 7 times

3/25/2009 7:24:39 PM

lol, yeah, i've watched it 5 times already.

i was excited when i saw the poster months ago and this just set off a whole new set of emotions.

What the fuck is wrong with you people. You are getting "chills" over something that is produced for a 5 year old. I don't get it.

If you are a hater... then obviously you were not touched moved emotionally by this book as a child. Maybe you were one of the kids that sat in the corner and shoved glue up your ass instead of using your imagination.

Things that moved me as a child, do not "move" me as an adult. I use to love grimlock - however, I don;t lose my shit every time I flip past a Transformers rerun. Its called being an adult.

3/25/2009 10:02:39 PM

This makes me so happy.

I wish it was a summer movie so we could make it our movie event of the July 4th family reunion.

It's probably gonna be a Will Smith movie again.

But I'm still sooooo stoked about this!!!!

3/25/2009 10:03:48 PM

^^ the hobbit "moved" me as a child and I still love that book every single time I read it. There are no rules as an adult that say you can't enjoy something as an adult that you did as a child.

3/25/2009 10:17:22 PM

sweet. I had not heard about the movie until this thread.

3/25/2009 11:16:15 PM

spike jonze!

however, if you read harry potter back when it came out, in which case you would've been about ten, then gg, you were the intended demographic.


but there is never an excuse for twilight.

3/25/2009 11:37:18 PM

looks awesome.

3/25/2009 11:56:41 PM

indeed it does

set em up
