Where The Wild Things Are

Currently, I am very upset. 

I just watched the trailer for "Where The Wild Things Are." And after becoming out of my mind excited, the release date showed up. October 16th. Why do trailers come out so early?

My roommates and I watched the trailer a few times through, contemplating what we remembered about the childhood book. Sadly, all we were able to come up with was that it was about a little boy that escapes into a world of monsters and has lots of different adventures. If this is even right...we're not exactly sure. I guess we'll have to wait for the movie to come out to actually know. Or I guess we could find the book somewhere haha. If we're feeling adventurous..

What happened to being little and sitting around and reading fantasy books? And isn't it sad that we remember so few of these books that filled us with so much joy when we were little? If someone were to ask me right now what my three favorite books were when I was younger, I don't think I would be able to give them a straight answer. 

On a different note, I definitely love the choice of "Wake Up," by Arcade Fire for the song played during the trailer. I looked up the lyrics, and they are definitely fitting to the theme of the movie- an escape from reality for a child that is afraid of growing up.
