I'm of the Opinion...

...that there should be a lot more videos like this.

You know what would be fun? Making a movie in this type of puppetry style. We should get on it. You and I.

Let's Read a Story

This week, the New Yorker posted an excerpt from the other upcoming Dave Eggers book, The Wild Things, which, you guessed it, is loosely based off of Where the Wild Things Are, taking in both the screenplay for the upcoming film, that I'm very excited for, and Maurice Sendak's original book, which if I become a professor sometime in the future I'm totally going to throw on the curriculum.

It's titled "Max at Sea" and really . . . speculations are vague. I haven't had a chance to read through it yet but I'm going to in a moment, I promise.

Since I'm sure there's a whole lot of copyright issues going forth, I'm just going to post a link to the page. And who doesn't want to hang around the New Yorker website anyway? So much to do!

All right, read here.

Oh Yes, It Gets Even Better....

By which I mean the new trailer for Where the Wild Things Are. WATCH.

One Fantastic Photo

This came from an article in the Guardian regarding an exhibition about a photographer whose latest project involves people reading. This one is my favorite one, though there's another with an older man stooped outside a New York book rack that's also so...wonderful. This one, however, is simply captivating.
