LET THE WILD RUMPUS START: I'm sure Spike Jonze and Dave Eggers are fine and talented people, but whose bright idea was it to make a big budget movie of Where the Wild Things Are:

Jonze's initial idea was to shoot the wild things in nine-foot suits with animatronic faces in the jungles of Australia and New Zealand. CG-faces would be required. After a disastrous December 2007 preview of Jonze's first cut, the studio shut down the project. The movie is "dark, adult and deep," wrote Cinemaniac1979 on aint-it-cool-news, "heart-wrenching and scary. This isn't a movie for children -- it's a movie about childhood."
