Dontcha just love ‘Wild Things’?

…and no, I am not talking about that movie with Denise Richards and Neve Campbell. I’m referring to the new trailer for the movie based on the classic children’s book Where the Wild Things Are directed by Spike Jonze…
You know what? I remember reading this book as a child, but now I don’t even remember what it is about. I even gave it to my nephew as a gift thinking that I was a cool uncle. I feel like a farce.
Well…I know the gist of the story. Child has problems. He escapes into his imagination. And there are these furry wild things. Jonze’s take on the whole ordeal looks magical, endearing and, in a oddly fascinating way, kind of scary. As I child, I think I was more enamored with the illustrations of the creatures than with the actual story…and I think that’s what this movie is all about. Escaping into a fantasy and bringing out the inner-child in us to forget about these pesky adult responsibilities. I’m looking forward to it. *Sigh*…to be young again.
i remember reading the book when i was a kid, but i dont remember what it was about either.
