It’s time for another fantastic upcoming-movie-release theme week! Spike Jonze’s Where the Wild Things Are comes out on October 16th.
This is Elana Max’s Max tattoo from Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are:
Tags: Maurice Sendak, Theme Weeks, Where the Wild Things AreThis is Max shipping off to the land of the wild things. Plus a Japanese wave, just for fun.
Where the Wild Things Are was my very favorite book. And still is, really. Max and I share a name, and a very special bond.
I hope Spike Jonze doesn’t mess that up.

I am incredibly optimistic for the film. I really hope he doesn’t mess it up, too.
This is lovely, really well done.
I saw the movie at a benefit screening and I can say it doesn’t mess anything up. Of course it’s expanded and it’s a different thing from the book but everything that’s special and wonderful about the book is there on screen. Movie Max is brilliant and the Wild Things all have great individual personalities. I don’t think fans of the book will be disappointed at all.
thank you, matt! I’m even more excited, now : D
