While hipsters and Choire are falling all over themselves in anticipation of Spike Jonze's forthcoming Where The Wild Things Are, I have been a little less enthusiastic. I mean, sure, I like Arcade Fire just fine, and the preview had its moments, but there's something about the seemingly obvious ways in which they've opened up the story (oh no, Max is upset about his mom's new boyfriend!) that rub me wrong. That said, this feature with author Maurice Sendak puts me slightly more at ease. I'll give it a shot, I guess. But if Michel Gondry explains the titular character's desire for solitude as an expression of millennial discontent in his forthcoming adaptation of One Was Johnny (starring Viggo Mortensen as the robber) I reserve the right to be pissed off.
