tinsel town is about to ruin a couple of classics for all little boys and girls. this fall we are going to see the release of the films for 2 of my all time favorite childrens books, 'cloudy with a chance of meatballs' and 'where the wild things are'.
im not really all that excited about the prospect of having some of my favorite books that focus on the different aspects of make believe and imagination are going to be realized on the big screen. sentimentality surely plays a big part in my disgust at the un-originality of the current film making biz because i am much more upset at the thought of an animated version of my favorite childhood story directed by the actor/star of 'clone high' than i am at the thought of a cgi saturated 'wild things' from spike jonze. im just really not excited about a high school clone tackling the 'land of chew and swallow'. where/how can justice be served to this amazing piece of childrens literatur??
please please please do me (and more importantly yourself) a favor and buy or borrow these books in the coming weeks and read them to yourself, a child, nephew, niece, grandchild, cat, or dog so you can experience incredible imagination, creativity, and originality before someone else's interpretation is thrusted onto you this fall at the movies.
Spike Jonze is going to own Where the Wild Things are. Seriously, it looks so amazing.
