The new TV ad for Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are adaptation introduces us to a few of the Wild Things by name. I still don't know what to make of this movie. The visuals look impressive and it looks like it will probably be interesting in its own right. But it also looks like a real departure from the Wild Things many of us grew up with. I've seen ads that made this look like an indie picture and other ads that made it look more like a kid picture, but so far I'm really not getting that Maurice Sendak feeling at all.

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?
Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
