Where The Wild Things Are

I am so out of the loop. I had no idea that Where The Wild Things Are is being made into a movie. Did you?

Spike Jonze is directing and co-wrote the screenplay; and the cast is has some fairly big names: Paul Dano (Little Miss Sunshine), Forest Whitaker, Michelle Williams, Catherine Keener, Catherine O'Hara. To be honest I'm not sure how I feel about a guy most know for Beastie Boy music videos and Jackass being in control of bringing one of the great children's books to life. Somethings are best left alone.

P.S. I just saw a picture of Kreacher and he's as horrible as I pictured him to be. Turns out the director had cut him out of the next film when J.K. Rowling suggested that they might want to put him back in if they didn't want to be "tied in knots" while writing the seventh film's screenplay. Proving what most fans have already predicted... Kreacher has something to do with at least one Horcrux. Like maybe he "rescued" it from being destroyed when the Black family artifacts were being purged? Maybe?

Lost in Culture

Some names just don't transfer from one culture to another. I give you exhibits A, the name of an individual who requested a software evaluation here at work.

Exhibit A: Dikshit Sindhwani

It's just unfortunate. I hope he didn't have to go to college in the states. That's hazing to another level.

Lost & Found



I nearly wet my pants laughing. If you're not a Lost fan then I'm sorry. You're missing out.
