This morning I was reading about Spike Jonze’s Where the Wild Things Are on Obsessions of a Pop Culture Nerd. I watched the trailer and was happy to see that Jonze was working with Catherine Keener again. I heart her.
For some reason I thought that Charlie Kaufman had written the script. I super heart him. And can you imagine? A familyish movie written by Charlie Kaufman? However, I wasn’t disappointed when I discovered that Dave Eggers was Jonze’s co-writer. I loved A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius
Eggers has also co-written another movie with Vendela Vida who wrote an interesting book that I read a few years ago, Girls on the Verge: Debutante Dips, Drive-bys, and Other Initiations
I go to the movies a lot. I hear you kind of have to give that up if you have a baby. Since I don’t have a baby this weekend, I’m probably going to see Sunshine Cleaning.
