The Beans Don't Burn on the Grill

Previously (possibly on another blog) I wrote about my excitement for the movie Funny People, which I might have called my most anticipated movie of 2009. In case you haven't realized it yet, I exaggerate all the time. And if we're not dear friends you probably didn't know about my tendancy to exaggerate in the same way you are not aware of my ridiculous love for Dave Eggers. The man could make greatness out of coat hangers -- this is not an exaggeration, I'm pretty sure he could write a magical story about coat hangers. It would undoubtedly leave me breathless and inspired and then just as I was recovering from the brilliance of his written word he would create some kind of charity for people in third world countries who don't have coats...or hangers.... or food. Seriously the man is unbelievable... and he just directed a forty minute short with James Franco. Seriously, unbelievable this man is.
Anyhoo, enough of a rant, where I'm going is that Dave Eggers wrote (or helped write) the screenplay for Where The Wild Things Are, which might be my most anticipated movie of 2009. Spike Jonze directed it, Catherine Keener, Paul Dano, Catherine O'Hara are all in it, it's going to be glorious and after a few rumors that they had to re cut the whole thing, we finally have a trailer. Of course it's not a trailer that we can see right at this moment but at least the promise of a trailer that someday we will watch. Thus, I change my most anticipated movie of 2009 to Where The Wild Things Are.... at least until tomorrow. Or at least until the trailer comes out for This Side of the Truth.

Sidenote: I do believe in this blog I compensated for my tendancy to exaggerate by over linking to everything. I apolagize. I just really like giving you links. Like this one.
