where the wild things are.

i can never get myself to post on weekends anymore. fail. anyway. i remember reading “where the wild things are” when i was kid but for the life of me, i can barely remember the plot. i just remember liking the book and that all my other friends liked it too. here’s the synopsis courtesy of its wiki page for those of you who’ve never heard of it or read it as a kid [although to be honest, if you haven't, you must've been living under a rock as a child]:

The book tells the story of Max, who one evening plays around his home, “making mischief” in a wolf costume by chasing the dog with a fork and growling at his mom. As punishment, his mother sends him to bed without supper. In his room, a mysterious, wild forest grows out of his imagination, and Max journeys to the land of the Wild Things. The Wild Things are fearsome-looking monsters, but Max conquers them “by staring into their yellow eyes without blinking once,” and he is made “the King of all Wild Things.” However, he soon finds himself lonely and homesick, and he returns home to his bedroom, where he finds his supper waiting for him, still hot.

it was a really short story. only 10 sentences [according to its wiki page]! but of course hollywood found some way to stretch it into a 90+ minute movie. while i am always wary of book-into-movie adaptations, this trailer looks pretty damn good!:

i’ll admit, when i saw max in his white wolf suit, that made me smile. definitely bringing back childhood memories! the movie isn’t coming out until october 19th, 2009 but i’m already anticipating its release!
