Where it's at.

I went to see Where the Wild Things Are last night.  It was pretty fantastic.  I may have read it once when I was a kid, but it wasn't one of those childhood-defining books that it was for many of you.  In a way, this is a good thing, as I didn't have any attachments going into the film, no nostalgic investment.  This allowed me to really enjoy what Dave Eggers was doing with this script - making, as Jacquelyn said, not a movie for kids, but for people who had been kids.  This was a movie for us oldies.  Maybe not the really old, but those of us still close enough to our childhoods that we still lament their loss.
