Spike might have a contract. <BR/><BR/>I don't know if they should be surprised. While this has happened before, some surprisingly edgy movies also get released. Really, who cares if they should be surprised or not. If Sendak only agreed to sell his rights because Jones was involved the studio execs are being assholes and bad businessmen, if history is any indication. <BR/><BR/>Bad children's movies feed into the smarmy sense of entitlement that many people have nowadays. Bad things happen! Forest fires kill your mom! Actions have consequences and there are no action hero family members who are going to save you. If you want to spout faux meritocratic nonsense you deserve the consequences when they grow up to be exploitative tyrants. Will to power, you are not a unique snowflake, etc, etc... <BR/><BR/>But that's a rant for another day.yoggothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00233852251148460524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161694830669099204.post-52737042663459685692008-02-28T15:50:00.000-08:002008-02-28T15:50:00.000-08:00Spike, Dave, Maurice, etc. should not be surprised...Spike, Dave, Maurice, etc. should not be surprised. Either they should have worked with a smaller studio or they should not have done the film at all. Or who knows, maybe WB will relent after fans like us make enough of a stink about it on the blogosphere!!Little Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415022026000282965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-161694830669099204.post-77100569653824946082008-02-28T15:38:00.000-08:002008-02-28T15:38:00.000-08:00If you were a studio exec and someone told you abo...If you were a studio exec and someone told you about a Where the Wild Things Are movie you'd say, "Oh my god, get some rejected-by-Seinfeld jokes for the parents and CG this baby up, we've got a hit!"<BR/><BR/>Now Wes Anderson comes up to you with a script and you say, "Wow these movie stars are willing to work for peanuts, even this skinny jerk can break 40 mil with this cast!"yoggothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00233852251148460524noreply@blogger.com
