If these jagweeds don’t want to get to know the nice new me then screw them and their rapidly yellowing teeth.

Remember, remember… The British-Italian population here is staggering. I’m going turncoat. That’s right, they are no longer cookies : they are officially biscuits.

The Cat in the Hat was a much more popular childrens book

[c/o hazelweatherfield] :

and it was made into a movie, why didn’t everyone shit bricks over that one?

Ahem. As someone who used to work in children’s books (back me up on this, Meg), the Wild Things is actually the much more popular book. As someone who openly abhors the hipster movement, however, I still think the Wild Things movie is going to kick some serious cinematic ass. (It’ll be a while before I get to see it…)

Not to mention that The Cat in the Hat didn’t have Arcade Fire in the trailer. That might’ve helped even the score.

I think it mostly has to do with making a classic children’s book into a vapid, unimaginative kids’ movie, or turning it into a film that is worth something on its own. Which, from the glimpses I’ve gotten, it looks like Spike Jonze has totally done.

That’s the MLS two cents.
