I saw a pre-screening of Where The Wild Things Are last night. The more I think about it, the more I like it. It’s not going to be everyones cup of tea. It’s not a childrens/family movie, and I’m glad it’s not. It could have been some cheesy run of the mill kid’s adventure movie but it wasn’t. It turned out to be something that I think requires thought and complete suspension of disbelief. It’s definitely a weird movie. But I’ve started to develop my own understanding of some of that weirdness and the relationships between the characters, which has put some things in perspective and made me enjoy the movie a lot more. I don’t think it’s anything mind blowing or completely amazing. But it’s beautifully shot and the creatures look real. Spike Jonze is a genius. The minute the movie starts, way before Max goes to the island, his talent shows. There’s some really cool stuff going on directing-wise. I saw this in a packed theatre at school. As soon as it ended people were saying “What?” “Wow. I want my hour and a half back.” “That was mad funny.” They were also laughing at moments that I found to be truly moving and/or sad. I think a lot people don’t know how to feel with something like the wild things. They’re life-like creatures who actually speak realistic dialogue and feel emotions, and I think that makes people feel uncomfortable. They’re used to seeing creatures terrorizing or blowing shit up, not just hanging out. Again, suspension of disbelief. Give the movie a chance. Give it some thought. Hopefully you’ll like it.

tehw00t: kirkstevens: I’ve finally taken the plunge and started watching Dexter. Everyone I know and their brother watches this show. I’m only 4 episodes into season 1 (soon to be 5!!!!!!!!!!!) and I can see why. Super well written. Michael C. Hall is awesome. That Jennifer Carpenter’s a cutie patootie too (am I right or am I right?).  I’m told it only gets better. TV is REALLY good right now…Dexter, Breaking Bad, Friday Night Lights, Curb Your Enthusiasm, United States of Tara, Weeds (though this past season sucked), 30 Rock….I haven’t kept up with South Park in awhile but it’s never been bad. These are only the shows I watch. There’s more I want to get into. Dollhouse and Californication lie ahead! Im about half way through season 2 of Dexter myself… kept hearing about it so i started watching. As for Breaking Bad, did the new season start up yet? I havent seen a new episode posted in a long time (i watch TV via downloads… screw paying for cable)  So far only 2 seasons of Breaking Bad have aired. I don’t think 3 will start until January. Yeah I don’t really keep up with many shows as they air either. Downloadin’ is the way to go.
