Emo Sells

I've come to the conclusion that every trailer for a new movie should contain a song from The Arcade Fire.

Here is a brand new trailer for Where the Wild Things Are.



I am actually excited about this movie. I do remember the book when growing up, it did have pictures. I think it is cool that they are taking a classic kids' movie and letting Spike Jonze get his crazy hands on it (see Adaptation or Being John Malkovich). I also think it is cool that hipster-writer Dave Eggers wrote the screenplay. What a great idea to take a 48 page children's book and let a hipster dude who wrote a 560 page book about an African refugee running for his life based on a true story.

I also thought that this trailer for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was bad-a@@, especially with the eerie Arcade Fire music.

You people and your emo music. Just because your Mom kicked you out of her basement, doesnt mean that you have to keep writing songs about it.
