Thanks, Charlotte and PQ for the warnings about the movie. I’ve nixed taking Aly – he’s not great with sadness and would probably demand to leave. I’ll stick to the book version at bedtime for now … though I tend to shout out the whole “And now, let the wild rumpus start” bit and ruin the point of bedtime …

That is one of the most gag-worthy names I have ever heard of. I have nothing against Florence — Florence is lovely — but Teddie Boo is simply unfortunate.

Sorry, that’s supposed to say “named KW”.

Oh look, another pedigree miniature poodle, sorry, child, adds to the Boo phenom.

I saw Where the Wild Things Are this weekend and I really enjoyed it — that is, as much as you can enjoy something that is really quite sad in a lot of ways. I agree with Photoquilty, the movie is not for children. However, I didn’t think Max was immature. He’s supposed to be a kid and (in my opinion) he acts like a kid who’s having a hard time growing up. The Wild Things are kind of like different representations of himself. The movie was definitely more Angela’s Ashes and The God of Small Things (novels about children for adults) than Green Eggs and Ham. There is also a Wild Thing names KW.

Well, thanks for the plug!

I’ve been thinking about Falcon all week. It’s just terrible! And when Drizzle popped up on Glee this week, I looked around to roll my eyes with my husband, but these things don’t matter to him. >:( And as for Mackynzie…well…that’s just a big, bad choice.

We took Ethan to see Where the Wild Things Are and I can say that this is definitely not a children’s movie. It is sad, angry, and lonely. Max is immature, the monsters are immature, and the whole movie is just sad. On the other hand, I know three people who named their sons Max last year. New Yorkers, all.

Jeffrey Tambor is still having children? Men.

All I remember about Rachel Campos is two things: she was close friends with Pedro Zamora when she was on the Real World; and her husband was another Real World castmember from a different year. Her children’s names are okay. Not my speed.
