Where The Wild Things Aren't

[redbrunja]

I actually walked out of Where The Wild Things Are.

I've never done that before.

Not for any particular reason, just that it wasn't worth eight of my dollars.

Instead I read in the lobby and ate Red Vines until my mom finished watching it.

Mr. Fox was kind of awful; another movie that sucked all the joy and wonder out of the original whimsy of the book in favour of one more boring, cliched storyline about a ~bold~ and ~daring~ guy who's dragged down by the unbearable domesticity of his wife and kids. (He was actually...a super creep? Forced a child he was taking care of to take part in his life-endangering midlife crisis.) (Two females in the film who got to talk. Wife and prospective girlfriend.) Especially egregious in that the wife would have had all the instincts that he did.

That sounds even worse than I was expecting.

Like, ridiculously, ridiculously bad.

I'm sorry you watched it!

I swear to you, I nearly walked out in the middle and it was the first time I've ever done that. If the animation hadn't been so beautifully, I would have.
