Just what we like to hear!

You're right. :)
Well he certainly showed us. by IndustryKiller!	Feb 20th, 2008 01:03:23 AM
No really...he did. I apologize for the judgement.
And about the intimations that Jonze... by Matango!	Feb 20th, 2008 01:07:01 AM
...is either doing major reshoots - or having major reshoots done for him and taking his name off the project??

Didn't we already figure this out? by Super Nintendo Chalmers	Feb 20th, 2008 01:39:33 AM
I mean except for the 50 people who insisted on bitching no matter what?

Oh... by Super Nintendo Chalmers	Feb 20th, 2008 01:40:42 AM
and if you were one of the people who said that your childhood was raped, does this make it unraped? Can you unrape something?
Weird timing by Super Nintendo Chalmers	Feb 20th, 2008 01:41:24 AM

That clip was quite beautiful by LittleDudes	Feb 20th, 2008 01:51:21 AM
I really liked the sombre tone of it. Can't wait for the movie, seeing Bernard is going to give me a boner. I'm serious, I'm going to be sexually aroused.
If that was a test, the real stuff should look by skywalkerfamily	Feb 20th, 2008 02:13:33 AM
a WHOLE lot better. I mean really, that looked like shit.
So since the clip was actually charming... by leobloom	Feb 20th, 2008 02:14:24 AM
should I expect the movie to suck since it's nothing like the clip? Tune in next week for the continuing saga of Rapers of the Lost Childhood...

I might even take a trip when i see this by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Feb 20th, 2008 02:28:05 AM
I hope I don't just start screaming in the theatre.
where the fuzzy heads are by davy jones owns	Feb 20th, 2008 02:30:13 AM
cant really judge the clip at this point seeing only one "thing" and a lamb boy. im sure it'll look more true to the book after all the wild things are in the are introduced. but the kid needs to mean as hell. is mike dolan in here??
Looked awesome for a test by JoeSixPack	Feb 20th, 2008 02:31:34 AM
If I say so myself
Actual Set pics by rubbiboy	Feb 20th, 2008 03:09:25 AM
I can only repeat the link to actual stills from the movie... http://tinyurl.com/2au7m6 and it has a boy in a wolf suit...
is it out somewhere else? still haven't seen it by couP	Feb 20th, 2008 03:17:05 AM

translation; thats what the final effects will look like by Mysterious Yobo	Feb 20th, 2008 04:16:11 AM

Jonze is a major talent, this is going to be something special by KillaKane	Feb 20th, 2008 04:58:03 AM
I loved the use of that natural 'magic hour' light and a real environment in the test clip. Jonze unique vision will no doubt conjure up something offbeat and special. Looking forward to seeing more of this as it nears release.
Wow... by cornponious	Feb 20th, 2008 05:29:42 AM
That was the most unprofessional, poorly written official statement I've ever read. I expected more coming from someone named Spike.
Two little things by Brendon	Feb 20th, 2008 05:38:15 AM
1) In many ways, the clip DOES have the tone of the film (sombre-sweet, very fresh, very natural) 2) Everybody knows Griffin, in this clip, is much better for the role than the poor sod who got it in the end. Including Spike. Notice just how carefully he worded his e-mail...
Even if that clip didn't represent the movie.. by Bobo_Vision	Feb 20th, 2008 05:59:07 AM
...it was still pretty good.
That was a test? Can't wait to see the real deal. by Yeti	Feb 20th, 2008 06:16:39 AM
Sounds like it's gonna be a great flick.
Yeah robots are the best... by Jett	Feb 20th, 2008 06:44:02 AM
robots are the best even if that was just a test footage, i hope that robots are the best line is in the movie, it cracks me up everytime i hear it
surprised the clip is still up by Suki_Jonze	Feb 20th, 2008 06:57:53 AM

Too Bad. That Clip Was Eerie. by georges garvaren	Feb 20th, 2008 07:00:00 AM
I kept waiting for the raping . . . but, no. Dang. Don't let us down, Spike! Rape Max! He has it coming.
Thank the Lord and Sonny Jesus. by darthferris	Feb 20th, 2008 07:29:42 AM
Spike just boughtt himself some more slack.
Spike...no need to defend your work brother... by Jugdish	Feb 20th, 2008 07:43:25 AM
I have total faith in you- screw these assholes
Good of him to take the time by wazza	Feb 20th, 2008 07:45:28 AM
to end all that CRAZY speculation
Like others here I started to really like that clip... by FlickaPoo	Feb 20th, 2008 07:58:43 AM
...hope the final keeps some of that strange mood... If it was just a test, can we have it back?
Thought the clip was GREAT by cowboyone	Feb 20th, 2008 08:30:49 AM
I loved that the VOICE acting was so casual and REAL, and that it was an unknown actor. I'm kind of bummed that it'll be gandolfini in the final, but I can't wait to see what Jonze does with Sendak/Eggers words.
bummer, im easily ammused and by Lloyd Bonafide the Korean War Veteran	Feb 20th, 2008 10:38:03 AM
totally loved that clip. the dialogue gets me. grab...grab that stick...
no, you're right, ROBOTS are the best... by Lloyd Bonafide the Korean War Veteran	Feb 20th, 2008 10:39:48 AM
...Robots are the best....
Maybe... by Frankenbastard	Feb 20th, 2008 10:44:10 AM
people will listen next time?
Paul Dano is supposed to be Max I think by Kloipy	Feb 20th, 2008 11:45:20 AM
the kid from TWBB. I like the kid in the clip better.
Keep going, Spike -- you're on the right track. by GrantChastain	Feb 20th, 2008 11:54:05 AM
Fuck the naysayers. This movie is going to be the tits.
by redkamel	Feb 20th, 2008 11:59:27 AM
@mike d:it was a test shot with a bad wild thing suit to see if the CG face/suit was a good idea (before basing the entire movie on it). I thought it was a good idea
Spike's got platinum credit with me. by bswise	Feb 20th, 2008 12:14:40 PM
Let's see, so far he's directed two features, which are two of the freshest, funniest, moving, thrilling, and wonderful movies that I've seen in the last 10, maybe twenty, years. He's been working on this film, an incredible challenge, for years with Sendak's blessing. I have no doubt that it will be original, amazing, and not entirely what anyone was expecting. I only hope that the filmmakers take all the time they need to complete this masterpiece as it should be.
Raping your childhood??? by slayers bitch	Feb 20th, 2008 12:53:00 PM
I have a novel idea.........(wait for it)........... if you want Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are, preserved in your memory, exactly like it was as a child...... then don't see the movie- read the book! There you go, you're childhood's cherry is still intact!
My childhood... by rutgersjaffo	Feb 20th, 2008 12:58:44 PM
...was already fed a Snickers bar and fondled in a darkened theater by Michael Bay and Optimus Prime. Must go shower/cry again now...
This is the Duke Lacrosse team of clips by ArcadianDS	Feb 20th, 2008 01:11:49 PM
Where's your retractions, oh ye mightily angry morons from yesterday.
well, duh... by Zardoz	Feb 20th, 2008 01:28:54 PM
and thank god it was just a test!
cornponious by Super Nintendo Chalmers	Feb 20th, 2008 01:41:32 PM
"That was the most unprofessional, poorly written official statement I've ever read." Good thing Jonze is a director and not, I don't know, a fucking lawyer. Who cares how professional his response is.
Thank god, cause that clip looked like crap! by GrandMuffTarkin	Feb 20th, 2008 04:15:40 PM
The kid's suit was pathetic, and the pacing of the lines was terrible. I knew it had to be test footage.
An interesting thing about that clip . . . by lavaboat	Feb 20th, 2008 04:26:30 PM
It's kinda strange but when you take the effect of that facial cgi and drop it into the very humble frame of a mundane scene with zero gloss and polish, unimpressive camerawork and no sound . . . something very magical and authentic comes through.
If it was just a test, can we have it back?... by FlickaPoo	Feb 20th, 2008 04:32:23 PM
....Please...?
A few of us called it by Teddy Artery	Feb 20th, 2008 08:19:34 PM
I had a strong feeling it was just a test.
