HIPSTER RUNOFF

I recently saw this new Arcade Fire music video/trailer for the movie 'Where the Wild Things Are' and thought it 'looked kinda lame'/'trying too hard.'

I kinda wonder who this movie is supposed to 'appeal to.' Is it supposed to appeal 2 people who read the book 'when they were growing up'? Or maybe 'people who read about new movies being released on tastemaking blogs'? Kinda weird. Feel like this is supposed to be a Children's Movie, but think it accidentally appeals to 'middle aged people who are trying to be kewl' too much.

Not sure 'what happens' in this trailer, I just know it looked meaningful cuz of the lighting/music in the background. I'm not sure 'why that book was a big deal.' I remember reading it while I was a kid, and it seemed kinda 'underdeveloped.' I think there were like 10 sentences in the whole book, so I'm not sure why it gets to be made into a movie that is longer than 14 minutes.

I feel like there were less children's books before 'publishing books got cheap' so now a book like WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE wouldn't even get published because it wasn't colorful enough and didn't have any likable characters that could realistically be turned in2 a movie. In our current creative landscape, I think 'writing childrens books' is a gimmick for people who failed at other creative ventures, so now there's just 2 many authors/books with pictures/zany characters who teach positive lessons. Would have trouble selecting the authentic ones for my kids, so I'd probably just buy him a netbook and have him browse 'kidz blogz.'

If I could be a kid again, don't think this movie would appeal to me. It seems like something that my cool dad would take me to, but then I would ask 'Why didn't we see XXX: Part 4? Need 2 see movies that will keep me informed so that I can participate in conversations about kewl, edgy movies with groups of my friends at school.' Would be confused about why my cool dad was so excited about this movie, and why he bought me a copy of the book. Then he would tell me 'I read this when I was your age' and I would feel kinda closer to him, but then start to h8 him for not realizing how much the world has changed.

Does n e 1 remember what this book was about? Was it about the dark side of humanity/pedophilia?

Kinda wish they had used the band Animal Collective in the trailer.

I recently saw that teen sensation, Drew Barrymore got her tongue pierced.

It kinda reminded me about the past, and when people took personal branding choices 'more seriously'/didn't overanalyze them. Kinda wish we could go back to those days, and just appreciate things for what they are, and not 'overreact'+crucify people whenever they implement a trend.

Just want 2 go to a tattoo shop and have a tatted up bro stick a sharp rod through me.

Should I just get buzzed and try 2 pierce my friend's ear?

Just want to express myself and date top tier alternative celebrities. While u might think Drew Barrymore is a mainstreamer, yall should think again cuz of her alternative dating resume. Or is she just the product of alternative men who 'want to bang a mainstream broad'?

She dated the Mac Guy -- Justin Long

Viral Video director, Spike Jonez

She started the 'dating a Stroke' trend [via Fabrizio Moretti ]

h8 yall Agyness Deyn + Albert Hammond Jr [via Green Aggs and Ham]

She also dated the most innovative comedian of the past 100 years, Tom Green

So will yall get a piercing or what?
Who was the hauttest dude that Drew Barrymore dated?
Will we ever find as many altLovers as she has?

This is a post about Heath being 'gone.'
This is a post about Heath being 'in a better place.'

I remember when 2008 started. We were looking for a new actor who would 'be really awesome when he was young' but then make movies like 'Meet the Fockers' when he got older. Kinda wish James Dean was still around so that he could be in sillie comedies about Bucket Lists/dealing with getting older in a whimsically meaningful way.

Heath died. He's gone. We'll never know if he is still alive. We'll never know if his death was just a mrktng gmmck. We'll never know 'what coulda been.'

Still can't believe Mary Kate/Ashley Olsen are __% responsible for Heath's death.

Conspiracy of 2k8
Did Michelle Tanner 'end' HeathBro [via peer pressure]?

Can't believe Michelle Williams (aka ex-Mrs. Heath Ledger) started to date Spike Jonez.

Can't believe Spike Jonez ever divorced Sofia Coppola. Wish they stayed together making Lost in Translation progressive guerilla videos starring Kirsten Dunst (Being John Broavich).

Remember Green Aggs and Ham?

Does n e 1 know if an 'alt celebrity couple' will emerge in 2k9?
Read a rumor on a message board that the Death Cabs were getting married. Can some1 verify that? I don't trust blogs as gossip news sources.
Also read on a blog that the Bloc Parties/TVoTR/VampWeeks/FleetFoxes are getting married.

Just gonna miss him. Might not mention him in 2k9 just to 'move on' and maybe latch on to a new celeb death as a meme-gimmick that represents 'missing some1' who allegedly meant a lot 2 society bc of his portrayal of a character + real life meme-ability.
