I just wanted to post this to let everyone know that my childhood memories are crushed. Completely obliterated. I recently had the misfortune of viewing "Where the Wild Things Are."
I have been stoked about seeing the movie because I loved the book when I was little. It was so magical and wonderful. I just knew that with all our wonderful new technology and camera and computer tricks that the movie would kick ass. Oh, but I was WRONG!
About twenty minutes into the movie I realized that the movie producers and I did not read the same version of the book. Either that, or perhaps they had smoked a ton of pot and this is what they saw after reading the book and passing out. Miles and I were both confused and disappointed through the entire movie. It hints at addiction and someone needing help so much that I wasn't entirely sure it wasn't the latest episode of Celebrity Rehab. If you insist on watching it, be aware that it will damage your childhood memories of playing make-believe while thinking of this book.
I'm all for the children's stories that we all loved and grew up with being made over to appeal to the twenties and thirties crowd. Trust me, I love the new Alice in Wonderland. I think they should give all Disney movies a darker makeover and put them in 3-D. Yes, I'll pay to watch every single one.
It was like watching someone come up and attack my childhood memories, slap them around a bit, and anally rape them while I watched.
I just think they should do a better job with future movie projects than they did with "Where the Wild Things Are, " or as I now call it "What the Hell Did They Do To My Favorite Children's Book." I don't think anyone should view this movie. Ever.
