Where The Wild Things Are
Finally saw this today and was disappointed. I had high expectations based on the trailer and with Spike Jonze directing but I was never connected to this story. Catherine Keener has surprisingly little screen time and why did they cast Mark Ruffalo as an extra? The spent way too little time on Max and his family and the ending was very abrupt.

Re: Where The Wild Things Are
Well, the movie is really about Max and the wild things, how much time did you want them to spend setting up Max's "escape" to Where The Wild Things Are?
I loved this movie, it is currently my 2nd favorite movie of this year, right behind Star Trek.

Re: Where The Wild Things Are
i know it won't happen, but i was kinda hoping that THIS would finally be the movie where everybody realized that Spike Jonze is a talentless HACK.
Oh well... One day, maybe.

Re: Where The Wild Things Are
If you want talentless hack, look no further than Alfonso Cuaron.

Re: Where The Wild Things Are
Wow. We can get into this if you're up for it--but, I daresay that, Children of Men easily eclipses Spike Jonze's ENTIRE EFFING FILMOGRAPHY.

Re: Where The Wild Things Are
Spike Jonze is not a talentless hack. Being John Malkovich is very good and Adaptation is one of the best of the decade.
And I agree Cuaron has directed one excellent movie and that's it but I think he has the potential for another one.

i'd argue about this--but i think this is an example of Boosh-Brand Logic that has no inherent structure and only makes sense to you...Buscemi wrote:Children Of Men

Re: Where The Wild Things Are
Don't really understand that allusion, Buscemi.
And for me, Spike Jonze peaked with Weezer's "Buddy Holly" video.
And I may be in the minority, but I found Being John Malkovich to be a pile or steaming, pretentious CRAP.

Re: Where The Wild Things Are
28 Days Later = British post-apocalyptic movie where mankind is trying to survive. Low-budget and very entertaining.
Children Of Men = British post-apocalyptic movie where mankind is trying to survive. High-budget and very dull.
In short: Danny Boyle is a great director.

Re: Where The Wild Things Are
I don't see how anyone can think Spike Jonze is talentless, Being John Malkovich is a clear testament against that statement.
I didn't like Adaptation, but with BJM and Where The Wild Things Are, he's easily one of the Top 10 directors working right now.

Boosh, do you also compare Back to the Future Part III to The Wild Bunch?
Stripes with Paths of Glory?

Re: Where The Wild Things Are
The Wild Bunch = gritty western about a team of outlaws in Mexico.
Back To The Future Part III = fun sci-fi western about two people from the future in California.
Different movies.
Stripes = two men go to Army training in Kentucky to keep the nation safe...and meet girls.
Paths Of Glory = Kirk Douglas goes to war in World War I-era Europe
