Youtube has returned to the Middle Kingdom, so I'll celebrate with a non-China post.
Where the Wild Things Are, the movie, is coming! This is a convergence of many of my personal interests:
1) Who doesn't love fantasy stories with monsters? It was books like this that sparked my interest in different worlds. This may be a contributing factor to why I'm in a country where sticking burning hot cups on your back is considered normal medical practice.
2) Spike Jonze is directing. Being John Malkovich and Adaptation were two of the most creative and interesting movies of the 90s, it will be great to see Jonze behind the lens of another movie that mixes fantasy and reality.
3) Arcade fire is doing the music. This band may be more concerned with putting as many musicians as possible on a stage (or in an elevator) and proving that they can play six instruments each than putting it all together to make coherent music, but they still can produce some interesting sounds.
Release date for Mainland China has not yet been announced.
