WTWTA Roundup – Let the Wild Rumpus Start! [Update]
Posted 11 years ago by Tommy Movies
Tomorrow marks the release of Spike Jonze’s adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s Where The Wild Things Are, and I couldn’t be more excited. Well, I could be more excited if there was a midnight show playing somewhere near me, but we have plans to see it tomorrow evening with a ton of family, and I think that will be better.
This isn’t a review, because I haven’t seen it yet, so consider this the prequel to the review that I’ll hopefully post this weekend. So, here’s some cool Where The Wild Things Are content for your perusal before you go see the movie.
The Newsweek Interview
Earlier this week, Newsweek published a great interview with Maurice Sendak, Spike Jonze, and Dave Eggers. They’re all on the same page about films about childhood versus children’s films, and it’s a great read.
This one has a bonus too, some unpublished excerpts from the interview, posted on the journalist’s Tumblr blog.
Where the Wild Things Are Art Gallery Show
Posted 11 years ago by Tommy Art, Stuff
Chalk this up as another thing that makes me wish I lived in California, where things that interest me actually happen occasionally. The always-awesome Gallery Nucleus is running a Where the Wild Things Are art show from September 19th to October 6th. The show is called Terrible Yellow Eyes, and is curated by Cory Godbey of the website with the same name.
Expect a lot more Wild Things coverage on the site from now until October, then we’ll let the wild rumpus that is Halloween take over!
