Where the Wild Things Are

Finally, I got to see Where the Wild Things Are (in IMAX no less). I enjoyed it quite a bit. Maybe not as much as I'd hoped though. I guess I was kind of expecting to be engrossed in some misadventure. Not just watching them hang out in the woods most of the time. But I thought the story was well done. Especially the parallels between Max/his mum and Carol/Max.

I also received two rolls of expired 120mm film I bought on eBay in the mail. I am curious to see if there is any difference in the photos. The film expired about a year and a half ago. I don't know if the age of the film has any impact. I guess I'll have to find out.

Halloween Costume Thoughts

That time of year is creeping up again. I decided early this year I want to be Max from Where the Wild Things Are. Every year I swear that I will begin working on my costume well ahead of time. So, I am actually starting to figure out what I'll need. I'll be flying to Japan before I know it, and I will find myself running out of time as usual I am sure. Plus, last year I stood in line at Jo Ann fabrics for about 40 minutes just to get some material cut. We'll see how it goes this time.

I am so excited that Spike Jonze directed the movie.
