Where The Wild Things Are

This movie is great, so go see it!

This film "speak" to me in particular because what I consider the best bits of the movie are accomplished without speaking.  Verbally negotiating social contracts is not at all what life is supposed to be about.

*sniiiiiiiiff*         Rrrrrraaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and you know that Maurice Sendak is gay, right?  I thought it just recently became public news, but this New York Times article is a year old already.

I went to the theater tonight (and paid only $5 for a 7pm showing, how did that happen?) intending to join the Minneapolis Movie Bears.  I didn't recognize anyone there, though, so I went inside and sat down on my own.  Men kept piling into the aisle behind me.  Listening to them, I suspected that they were "my group" that I had missed spotting earlier.  Eventually perkk came in and sat beside me.  He was the only face I recognized from the bunch.

Excellent movie.  I expect a few Oscar nominations for this one.   *expectant and imposing glare at Hollywood*
