This film has been in the making (and remaking) for quite some time and I’m excited that the film studio is finally happy with Spike Jonze’s work. Many cool people in addition to Jonze helped with the film, including Dave Eggers who helped with the screenplay and music is by Carter Burwell and Karen O. The cast is cool too including Catherine Keener, Paul Dano, Lauren Ambrose and other well-respected actors.

I do so hope Maurice Sendak enjoys the big screen version of his beloved and most wonderfully illustrated children’s book.

It is scheduled to be released on October 16, 2009, one day after my birthday. Mark your calendars (for the film… and my bday)!

How about a little YEAH YEAH YEAHS to rock your socks?!

I finally got a chance to watch the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs video for “Zero” and I love it. The director captures the feel of all the great 80s videos that I watched over and over again as a growing girl. Karen O. really does a great job at pulling off the attitude, body movements and facial expressions of music videos from ladies like Madonna and Pat Benatar. And the band is sounding as great as ever with Mz. O’s vocals channelling Dale Bozzio or Siouxie Sioux.

The video won’t embed, so you have to click on YEAH YEAH YEAHS above. Its so good, I hope you watch.
YYY’s new album “It’s Blitz” comes out on March 31, 2009.
