Where The Wild Things Are Looks Like Where The Great Things Are!
Where the Wild Things Are trailer, you guys:
Well played, Where the Wild Things Are. First a great poster and now a great trailer. If you were a horse and I was a sad old man in torn poop pants at the OTB, I would bet on you!
This thing seriously looks scientifically designed to fuck up the hipsters' shit. Do the math. Spike Jonze + Arcade Fire + Nostalgia + Magic + Monsters + Divorced Moms + Snowballs + Scribble Font + Shouting Off a Cliff. Throw in a scene in which the Wild Things are pounding PBRs while complaining about their freelance graphic design jobs, and Williamsburg would be washed away by a tidal wave of you know what. Whatever, I'll take the train up there. Let's die together.
McDonald's should change their motto to "I'm Where The Wild Things Are-in' It" because of how much I'm lovin' this.

I could not agree more with you on this one. I don't know what to do withy myself now I'm so choked over how much I love this. I did feel a bit like a sucker though. Arcade Fire, you know. They know we can't help ourselves with all these things. But who cares! I don't see any way this movie can not end up being great. Ah, I'm so psyched right now!
Score = 12

Score = 1
You know, I spent three years attending and subsequently dropping out of University so I could become a freelance graphic designer, and this is the fucking thanks I get?

Score = -4
honestly, I just bawled a little bit.
Score = 13
same here. i'm going to blame it on being sick and emotional.
Score = 2
you forgot one part of the equation for hipster love: David Eggers! (he helped with the screenplay)
Score = 9
I was going to say this too. Also: I totally predicted the Arcade Fire song used would be "Wake Up." Totes magotes.
Score = 4
that wild_thing-throwing at 1:45 is so awesome.
Score = 7
It's totally Banana Splits.
Google it.
Score = 1
if they could replace all that running with Max on a fixed gear...NOW you've got hipster Xanadu.
Score = 7
I peed Hugh Jackman's pants watching this.
Score = 53
you forgot: messy hair, ironic sweater, ironic winter jacket, grade school science classroom, adhd, and james gandolfini's loud breathing.
Score = -6
You also forgot that Karen O is doing the soundtrack...but besides that, this movie made me pee in excitement.
Score = 5
okay, trailer finally showed itself.
too fucking good.
Score = 5
You forgot two items in your hipster math. MUSIC BY KAREN O and SCREENPLAY BY SPIKE JONES AND DAVE EGGERS. Could this movie get any more hipster?

Umm...hi.

Score = 2
Trailer = video win.
Gabe's McDonald's quip = internet win.

Score = 1
I actually wish Catherine Keener was my mom too.
Score = 5
Looks good but could've done without Arcade Fire. Gives it an unfortunate Garden State/500 Days of Summer feel.
Score = -18
WRONG. It's called EMOTIONS, ROBOT. Time to download your latest update, which will finally allow you to experience feelings, just like peoples.
Score = 24
Hey now, I have feelings too.

"That feeling that you're feeling is what the rest of us call...a feeling."
"But it's not angry, or even hungry!"

You left out the best part:
"Maybe it's love."
"I know what an erection feels like, Michael."

I don't know if its healthy for an adult without children to be this excited for a children's movie, but I am going apeshit.
Score = 8
Same.
Score = 2
I've already watched this twice and I teared up the second go-around. It's one of the best movie trailers I've seen (and totally the best one since Slumdog Millionaire's).
Score = 3
Ok, apparently I'm the only one who thought Slumdog had a TERRIBLE TRAILER.
I loved the movie, but the trailer was unconvincing.
Score = 0
"Slumdog" as a whole was unconvincing.
This, on the other hand, will be the film of the year.
Score = -4
In terms of mouth-agapeness, this trailer comes in second place to No Country for Old Men
Score = 2
Glad to hear other people got 'emotional' watching this too.
Score = 0
Me too. I felt a little weird being teary, until I read the comments.
A videogummer (is that the right noun?) never cries alone.
Score = 6
this looks amazing.

Hey now, I have feelings too.

Score = 10
who self-identify themselves a hipster?
Score = 2
I was so wrapped up in the Arcade Fire I thought it was going to say "From one of the most beloved albums of all time," but then I remembered.
Score = 4
I am already in love with this movie. I'm going to go dig up my book and look through it again.
Score = 2
I wasn't even that interested in this movie until now, but that is one of the best trailers I've ever seen.

Score = 1
Jim Henson!

The inclusion of Arcade Fire in the trailer only made this movie look that much more amazing. I can't help but go see this now; god I love when good childhood books get made into movies (re: good movies).
Score = 2
Liked the trailer, but feh on the Arcade Fire.
Score = -2

Score = 0
Is it sad that that quick shot of the (I think it was) Moishe crying and holding his face was one of the most heartbreaking things I've ever seen?
God, I just wanted to reach into my computer and hug him. I cannot wait for this movie.
Score = 3
How many where the wild things are inspired costumes will be worn this year on halloween will ulitmately determine the hipster-ness of this movie.
Score = 2
When we were wee, my mom made me and my brother Halloween costumes like Max's outfit. Best Costumes Ever. We wore them as pajamas until we outgrew them.
Score = 3
How many where the wild things are inspired costumes worn this year on halloween will ulitmately determine the hipster-ness of this movie.

This trailer had me at 'Hello'!
Score = 0
This trailer tricked me into listening to an Arcade Fire song.
Score = 2
I just added to the "Tears Shed While Watching This Trailer Bucket". That new kid looks fantastic as Max and Forest Whitaker has such a great quietly booming voice. This movie looks awesome.
Score = 1
forest whitaker isn't in the trailer, right? it's old James Gandolfini, eh
Score = 1
Oh nerds, I thought that was him but I think you're right.
Score = 0

Score = 1
Maurice Sendak must be proud
Score = 2
Fuck this. Fuck the Arcade Fire. Fuck you, Spike Jonze, you unoriginal piece of shit. Fuck all of you idiots for liking this. Must every rightfully-beloved piece of pop culture be recycled? Apparently! The book was fucking amazing because it left almost everything to your imagination. Oh well, now it's a feature film! Thanks for raping a good memory, Hollywood! Seriously, fuck everything.
Score = -14

Man, this is kind of a relief. I hadn't really been all that excited to see this movie, which made me feel like maybe there was something wrong with me, but that trailer did the trick.
