Good trailer, but a good trailer doesn't mean a good movie. I'm still seeing it though.

The adaptation looks pretty on-par. Too bad I never heard of this.

Yeah. There was talk for a really long time that they were going to scrap what Spike did and turn it into the average dreamworks CGI film. You know, a hilarious comedy about funny monsters and a kid voiced by Shia Leboeuf.

Fortunately that didn't happen.

Robo · « **Reply #7 on:** March 26, 2009, 06:27:55 PM »

Are we sure that didn't happen in at least some respect? There's been an awful lot of money spent on this.

It's hard to say for sure just from the trailer, but it looks like it still has the same kind of feel as that early clip that was leaked a year or so ago.

So this movie will be 30 minutes long right?

Are you going to watch it at a drive-in while sitting in the backseat of your mother's car?

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #15 on:** March 27, 2009, 01:45:10 AM »

She'll probably turn the Minivan around, open up the backend and lay some blankents down

Sit in the front of the car, get out give your dad the seat and sit in the back. Yes it seems like trouble but atleast strangers on the internet don't find it amusing then.

Btw I think Re-Re hanging out in the mall with his brothers is much more amusing.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #23 on:** March 27, 2009, 02:50:13 AM »

My dad is 6'6 and can fit in the back seat of a car rather comfortably.

Dickie Dee · « **Reply #24 on:** March 27, 2009, 02:52:17 AM »

Honestly never even heard of the book, suprised it's considered a classic...

I like how it has a touch of 80s Jim Henson-ness plus modern effects that blend well and allow for things that couldn't have happened 20 years ago.

I don't think most people would make their father sit in the back but thats just what I've experienced. in the end I think you crying over dumbledore's death kinda still wins out here, sorry maurice.

and I am constantly surprised when people say they never heard of the book. what in the world did your parents read to you as kids?

No, but he can fit back there, thus annihilating Cheebs' argument. If I'm on my way to pick my dad up and happen to not be driving...I sit in the front seat until we arrive. Then I get in the back and he gets in the front.

yeah that is weird, but we were getting my dad who was like 5 seconds away. In the same damn strip mall. It wasn't like I was driving around town in the backseat.

Where I come from it's kinda offensive to sit in the back while no one is in the front seat, even for a little while. It makes the driver look like a chauffeur.

Ugh. I told pd this like THREE YEARS AGO when he saw us. My dad was with us. He was either still in borders or or some store next to it, circuit city I think. It wasn't like I was out with my mom and sitting in the backseat.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #35 on:** March 27, 2009, 01:47:26 PM »

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #45 on:** March 27, 2009, 06:06:28 PM »

While I think this'll be good, there's just some experiences and stories you can't possibly replicate through film unless you brach out and make it your own, successfully. That's why the Polar Express movie was such garbage, and most of these children's books to films end up that way as well.

I dunno, we grew up with Roald Dahl ( forgot his name). He had awesome books, Matilda etc. Were awesome,awesome books. I don't know who authored this, or what the hell this story is about, but it can't be that good, not as good as the Roald Dahls.

Greatness Gone · « **Reply #53 on:** March 29, 2009, 07:29:23 PM »

They aren't even comparable. Roald Dahl's stories have actual substance and structure w/chapters and the such. Where The Wild Things Are is, like, five sentences long with illustrations that are meant to draw the reader in visually.

Or maybe some people might just happen to draw from the emotional input they get from a book's illustrations instead of drawing from its words.

I always hated the book because the character's name was the same as mine. I automatically hated any book with a character named Max in it.
