Yellow Submarine

Do yourself a favour, if you haven’t already, and watch Yellow Submarine by The Beatles. It ticks all the boxes of attributes you want in a movie: psychedelic kaleidoscope-ish animation, a tripped-out plot, magic, puns and double entendres, British accents and, naturally, The Beatles songs. It’s amazing.

Where The Wild Things Are

Ooh! One of my favourite childhood books, Where The Wild Things Are, is being made into a movie! This is so exciting. It’s being made by Spike Jonze, former husband of Sophia Copella, former boyfriend of Karen O and current boyfriend of the ultra-neat Michelle Williams. Incidentally, he’s also a very talented man in his own right, being director of amazing music videos for Bjork, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Beastie Boys etc, etc (sorry Liss I know you think Beastie Boys make the Worst Music Ever.) Anyway. I have high hopes for his adaptation of my childhood love. And how cute is this still from the movie?
Um, this blog seems to have got off to a really cutesy start (Mr canvas face, Mr google caterpillar, now this? Hmm). This wasn’t on purpose.
We’re not usually quite this cute, but we have our moments.
