Where The Wild Things Are Refuses To Stop Looking So Good

thumbnail icon: Where The Wild Things Are Refuses To Stop Looking So Good

New Where the Wild Things Are poster, you guys. Perhaps a little more conservative than the original, no screaming children or artfully cropped monster faces, just your typical fantastical creature hiding behind a scratched up tree in a mystical autumn forest. You know, movie poster stuff. No, this is so great. What a great poster.

It's almost getting to the point where I want this movie to make at least one mis-step. Like, say, a furry promotional condom. And on the inside of the package it says "UNLEASH YOUR BEAST." Just to get expectations back in line with reality. After a heart-crushing trailer and two great posters, things are already getting out of hand. Judging by the Internet reaction, America is thisclose to having Where the Wild Things Are replace Barack Obama as president of the United States, and the internet LOVES Barack Obama.

Whatever. Let's just be excited, right? Let's Paint, Exercise, and Be Excited about Where the Wild Things Are, in theaters October 16, 2009. We can do it all!

what do the scratches on the tree mean? the lower three stripes resemble the stripes of the monster behind the tree. the upper two resemble a mouth, yelling. the look on the monster's face tells me he looks shy. maybe he is just a shy monster hiding behind a yelling monster persona because he is shy. and the poster is trying to tell us that, hey, we're all hiding behind a yelling monster persona.
