Lol, I enjoy most of those Nat. Though I must say that something new thrown into the mix can be wonderful.

Technologist Tony Stark Benjamin Poindexter I don't ******** care who the director is. Then you might as well just bury your head in the sand, because Jonze has built his feature length film career on filming the unfilmable and portraying a nuanced, layered relationship between fiction and reality. The Transformers have always been crass commercial garbage, the movie was no more or less so and a very, very poor example.Ah yes....a producer from the Jackass movies. I trust him with a children's book that isn't long enough to sustain a feature length film. Could I be wrong? Maybe. But I'm predicting shitty disaster.

You haven't browsed the fantasy/sci fi/ horror section lately, Tony? There are peppered with this modern age supernatural romance. Mostly they go like this: attractive woman(or part of a woman) on the cover who is the main character, main character has some sort of power or skill that makes her uber special, she is very spunky and won't take s**t from anyone, and sooner or later she is screwing some vampire/lycanthrope/demon type.
Like Anita Blake....her powers are to feed on sexual energy(ugh) and to turn any straight man(and bi) to a testicle-less slave to her v****a and will.

I donno if I agree to your prediction.
Though I will have to admit that Anita Blake did turn out that way. Goodness, the book was a lot better before she became sex crazed... What happen to her moral of only sleeping with people she loved. rolleyes

But I'm predicting shitty disaster. Jonze has a long history of directing skateboarding films, which is the culture from which Jackass essentially grew out of. I'm not a fan, but it certainly doesn't diminish what he accomplished with Adaptation or Being John Malcovich. None of his work or experience relating to Jackass is in any way relevant to his ability to do Where The Wild Things Are.
It would take me all day to list the number of directors and producers of children's movies who have done adult material as well. Tim Burton springs to mind. Robert Rodriguez. Timur Bekmambetov. Steven Spielberg. The list goes on.

Well....according to her current fans, that's character development. I'm not sure how forcing a character to change by giving them a supernatural porno curse is character development.... xp

So that is not endorsement to me....neither is Rodriguez because I thought his kid's movies (Spy Kids, Shark Boy/Lava Gir) were junk. I would leave Bekmambetov off that list as 9 hasn't come out yet so you don't know if it's going to be good.

Ms Rose Wilson Worth Honestly there aren't that much werewolves in the story until the second book. It's mostly on the vampires.... Yes i have the books.. So sue me stare
I've also heard that if you see the movie you won't like it or understand it without reading the books. it can be confusing. This'd be for that second book, though, wouldn't it? I'd only be interested for Del Toro style werewolves. I pretty much heard "sparkly vampires" and just didn't bother with the series.Benjamin Poindexter I blame Laurell K Hamilton for Twilight. stare Hey, she used to be good... emo And on that note you could much more easily blame shows like True Blood on LK Hamilton. Speaking as someone who has a guilty enjoyment of such books, there IS some dandiness amid the torrid crap, it's just kind of rare and not anything approaching real literature.
