tony says:
hahaha i still can't believe they casted gandolfini as a wild thing... but i'll get more into that after
Alex says:
Tony Soprano as Carol ruined the film for me
Alex says:
besides other things
Alex says:
Carol shoulda taken a bat to Bob and Terry
tony says:
this film had so much hype for me.. i've read the children's book.. granted i didnt care too much about it.. i found out one of my favourite authors, Dave Eggers was responsible for the screenplay!
tony says:
on top of that karen o was doing the soundtrack! I LOVE KAREN O
tony says:
and on top of that the killer trailer that featured a kickass version of wake up by arcade fire
tony says:
i was soooooo excited
Alex says:
I didn't care much for it, it had the same effect on me as Catcher's
tony says:
i was dissapointed as well
Alex says:
besides, it was a depressing film and subject matter
tony says:
it definitely was depressing
tony says:
all the parts with the bull made me want to shed man tears
Alex says:
"eh? Max, whered da gabagoo at?"
tony says:
the casting of gandolfini made absolutely no sense on so many levels
tony says:
i thought that you had to have a good voice to even do voice acting
tony says:
gandolfini's voice is almost as tolerable as a kid playing with styrofoam while scratching a chalkboard at the same time
tony says:
i kept thinking he was gonna 'whack' max
Alex says:
he was gonna go to work on KW and bob and terry, that woulda been my kinda film,
Alex says:
instead I get nightmarish emotions personfied into wild things
Alex says:
and the goat kept reminding me of lamia
tony says:
hahahahaha
tony says:
what did you think of max?
tony says:
the other wild things you speak of were pretty cool.. i mean i wish i had some insight on what they all represented.. but then again.. i am glad i don't
Alex says:
personally, I think Max did not need an LSD induced journey of self discovery and coming of age bullshit, he needed a good smack up side da head.
Alex says:
buy since the father figure is not there...then I guess thats why theres a movie
tony says:
see i agree! i mean from a teachers perspective.. i see these kids all the time.. granted his situation at home made it more sympathizing.. but at the same time.. this is the type of kid that would beat another kid with a ruler then cry afterward when you yell at him
tony says:
future criminal though, there i said it
Alex says:
eye for an eye! let the other kids beat him with a ruler
tony says:
the movie also didnt have enough catherine keener.. she never seems to be in a movie enough
Alex says:
needed more ruffalo
tony says:
had too much ruffalo
Alex says:
too much Max, and too much "eh?! Gabagoo wtf! bob and terry?!"
tony says:
for the record the soundtrack also sucked.. it should've been called the kids featuring karen o.. man i love karen o
Alex says:
I kept hearing arcade fire, and it did not deliver
Alex says:
for our readers: watch the trailer, its enough
tony says:
agreed
tony says:
out of sentimental aspects though i will give this film a 7/10
tony says:
visually it was great
Alex says:
6/10, the wild things costumes were well done
tony says:
GABAGOO
