Macgirl's Media pick of the week 3/28/09

This week I'm completely obsessed with the newly released trailer for the Spike Jonze film Where the Wild Things Are...and c'mon, you have to be pretty cold and heartless not to see the charm in this film already. Check it out, then meet me back here:

Total magic, right? I'm hoping the entire film lives up to the hype. Honestly, I don't see how I could be disappointed. The book, wonderful as it is (and worth picking up a copy to enjoy, even now as an adult), is only 48 pages in hardcover, and mostly illustrations at that. (oh what wonderful illustrations). Carefully written and a powerful children's book, I can't wait to see it on film.

In the meantime, here's a link to my favorite Spike Jonze film, in iTunes: Being John Malkovich. Hopefully it can help tide me over until October...
