Where the Wild Things Are Trailer
Sometimes, events make me feel as if I’m dead inside, as if there is something so completely wrong with me that I am not fit to be around other humans. The reaction to the trailer for Where the Wild Things Are is one of those times.
I didn’t like the book as a kid. I don’t care that they made a movie. I’m not planning to see it. But everyone else in the online world seems to be misty, gaga, and verklempt about this movie.
When I was watching Titanic with friends, the only highlight was when the boat up-ended and the bodies began falling like sacks of grain. I giggled at the thought of bodies falling like sacks of grain. One friend punched me in the arm. She loved the movie and was probably already crying–I don’t remember. Reading everyone else’s reactions to the Where the Wild Things Are trailer makes me feel exactly how I felt when I realized I was the only one laughing at Titanic.
Am I dead inside? Is there something wrong with me? Or are there others like me out there? Shall we form a support group?

You’re not dead inside. I remember liking the book well enough when I was a kid, but it wasn’t life-changing or life-affirming for me. I thought the trailer looked good – if so darkly lit I had trouble making things out – and might see the movie. Or I might not. Really depends on if TheWife wants to see it.
As for Titanic…I was too tired and worn out from that ridiculously long piece of crap to muster the energy to cry at the end. The *only* things I liked about that movie were the undersea shots of the actual Titanic and the meticulous detail that went into Cameron’s scaled down version of the boat. I would have paid to watch two hours of footage of the mockup and the undersea footage.

Thank you. Sometimes when the entire world appears to be going ga-ga over something I just don’t get, I begin to question myself. I saw the trailer on TV or a DVD or something, and I agree, it looked fun and dark.
The friends who were all about Titanic were also all about Pearl Harbor, another huge-ass waste of my time.
