"Authority of scripture"? Sorry, but my Where The Wild Things Are beats out your book.

Now bow before my Wolf-y resemblance.

Whoa, with all these author names being thrown around, I might as well list my pet goat and where the wild things are. I'm so terrible at getting myself to read a good book, even though I invariably enjoy myself when I do.

Nevertheless, these are some of the books/short stories I've enjoyed enough to recall on the spot actually reading. You may now proceed to shun the sub-literate.


Marching As To War - Pierre Berton

The Shadow Out Of Time - HP Lovecraft

World War Z - Max Brooks

April Raintree - Beatrice Culleton

The Stand - Stephen King

Ground control to Major Tom: Word up.

I really hope they avoid all the trappings of CGI. Henson had it right all along, but people nowadays fail to understand we want the puppets -- at least I want the puppets. It worked in Labyrinth and The Never Ending Story and The Dark Crystal.


I've had this conversation with friends. I totally agree.

And Coraline WAS a lot of fun.

coraline looked like a lot of fun. as much as i'd like to be optimistic about this one, it has a lot of room to be shit. lets just cross our fingers

Hmm, maybe. But I'm afraid it will be another case of Hollywood taking something sweet and simple and blowing up into a 2 hour CGI Crapapalooza. Looking forward to the Happy Meal toys.

I will buy all the happy meal toys regardless. Decorating my desk at work is the priority.

Dude, are you serious? Did you see the Wild Things here? Or in this previously sifted vid? These are all live-action beasts. And Hollywood/Happy Meals? Check out Spkie Jonze's IMDB page and let me know if there's anything remotely "Hollywood" or Dirty Ron's-(McDonald's-) worthy. This project seems to be as off-kilter and ass-kicking as the book itself. This sifter is fucking stoked.

what's with all of the great children's books being turned into hokey money-grubbing movies? Polar Express, Where the Wild Things Are.. it's a problem.

This could work, but the monsters look stupid to me. Even though it's Jonze and Eggars at the helm, I'm not convinced this will be very good.
