So...I went to see Avatar last weekend with Ali and Jeff and Tim...3-D glasses and all! Don't know if you've seen it, but it's essentially a 2 and a half hour excessive remake of Fern Gully. I will admit that the film was visually stunning, and apparently that's all it had to be...
Which brings me to my next point. Went to see Where the Wild Things Are last night. Not sure if you've seen that one either, but I could say the same thing. Loved the original score by Karen O (of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs), thought it was beautiful to look at, loved the book as a kid. But ughhhhhhhhhhhh....without giving it all away, the part of the book that was so magical to me as a child was completely changed for the movie!! I mean Spike Jonze should stick to what he does best, because this movie was, essentially, a 90 minute music video. Could have been 8 minutes long and included all the same shit.
And Tony Soprano as the kind monster threw me off...
