Spike Jonze Maurice Sendak Arcade Fire = Win.

Waiting is torture! I can't tell you how many times I have watched the trailer. It's going to be so amazing!

(Where did my plus signs go?)

amazing.

i appreciate the costumes and 'real' monsters...not all digital and cartoony.

I'm pretty sure that I'll be first in line! I miss so much the Wild Things floor at the Metreome in San Francisco! I used to go there about once a month!

i can't stinkin wait. the photos and trailer look beautiful!

My co-workers and I all huddled around a monitor and watched this the other day. Every single one of us were starting to tear up by the end of it as well. Not sure if it was the Arcade Fire music or the fond memories we all have of the book (getting goosebumps thinking about it now!) or maybe a combo of the two. But we were all very impressed and hopeful that movie will be good.
On a similar note. I recently saw the movie poster for another one of my absolute all time favorite books as a young kid, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs by Judi and Ron Barrett, and I gotta say, I was a little heartbroken by what I say. Definitely NOT the same as the book.
