Spike Jonze Where Are You?


Not like it will ever get made but if it does Spike Jonze, the director of 'Where The Wild Things Are' would be perfect for it.

Gah - that would be either an abomination or the greatest thing ever.

I would die for this if it was good. Spike Jonze would probably do good, too... though I didn't see "Where The Wild Things Are".

It's the risk that this would be an abomination(odds: 90% at least) that make me glad Watterson has made the stance he has made.

An angry, alienated pre-adolescent boy, consumed with fantasies of monsters and destruction, vowing revenge against the world he despises.
His only companion, a lifeless stuffed animal that comes to murderous wildcat life only when they are alone together.
At night, they slink out together,prowling through the unsuspecting world.
...tick. tick. tick...

Yeahh, it'd work. Open with the Sesame Street theme suddenly torn open by Jay-Z's "Run This Town," that'll get it started.

Or it could be a fantastic fantasy of a lonely boy who learns not to fear life through the time spent with a lovin' friend you bitter ol' crank. Look, I see some kids on your lawn.

I keed cause I love.

Those kids on my lawn are hoping for a little sage advice and a positive male role model, same as always.
I just feel that Calvin (the cartoon, not you, though I see how you could over-identify with him) might have benefitted from a little therapeautic play intervention, with the snowmen for example ("you feel really strong, really strong now, don't you Calvin, blah blah blah")
