It’s another NBN Thursday in the valley. This one even came equipped with sun (with a slight chance of rain). So far, it’s been a good day… and there’s still a lot of day to go.
Last night, SaraRules! and I watched Where the Wild Things Are for Movie Date Night.
I thought that it was pretty good. I was a bit surprised in that I was expecting something… a little closer to the book, at least in some respects, but the differences didn’t diminish my enjoyment of the movie. It was also helpful to watch one of the special feature short pieces which highlighted the collaboration of author Maurice Sendak and director Spike Jonze.
The movie is rated “PG,” but there are a few scenes that might be scary for younger children. Nevertheless, I recommend it.
Stray Toasters
- Can You Call a 9-Year-Old a Psychopath?
- I finished Play Ball (1, 2) earlier. It’s well-written, fun and… a even better than I had expected, even having read the preview on Comics Alliance. It’s a well-told (and rather frank) coming-of-age story, as well as a good reminder to follow your dreams, no matter what challenges you face.
