The fact that a movie this subtle, different and strange can open at number one is startling. “Forget explosions and car chases — give me a kid who confronts nine-foot tall metaphors for his own complex emotions in a deserted island wasteland! That’s what people will pay to see!” I’m not sure if this will be my favorite movie of the year, but it certainly will be the most interesting — I’ve been thinking about it for days. Jonze, Eggers and Sendak have created something singular, complex, and ambiguous. Last time I checked, that’s what “art” is. Fuck the reviews and just go see it — this is one of those works where forming your own opinion is an essential part of the experience. Even if you don’t like it, you’ll still leave saying “I really just saw something.”

Things I Did Last Week

Don’t expect this week (that we’re currently working on finishing) or next week to be as eventful, but hey — even doing two of these in seven days is enough to make me feel pretty accomplished, so I’m just going to chalk October up as a good month right now.

I Love Rap -

migratingtaste:

New blog that’s just about rap.

For the last year, I’ve basically only been listening to music that Dave recommended to me. I have no regrets — the dude has phenomenal taste, and always shares the secret of why the track deserves your attention. Which is a long way of saying: I’m excited about his new rap blog.

boringoldraphael: Every few months, I reread this blog entry on Batman’s Greatest Boner, and I giggle like an idiot. I’m so happy that Raphael posted this. It is, in full frank and open honesty, one of the funniest things I have ever read in my life. It’s not just the repetition of the word “boner” — it’s the sublimely stilted and awkward way the characters use the word over and over again as though no set of syllables could be more thrilling. If you can read this without laughing, I feel sincerely sorry for you.

oldeenglish: So here’s something weird. Fox News’ morning show, “Fox & Friends”, saw the wedding slide-show Adam made for Ben & Joanna, and is having them all come on to the show at 7:30am tomorrow. Like I said, something weird. -Dave This bears repeating: At 7:30 AM tomorrow, I will be appearing on “Fox & Friends.” I can honestly say that I never saw this one coming.
