Q: What does it take to make me burst into tears at work?
A: The trailer for Where the Wild Things Are.
I could be critical. I could start second-guessing what the rest of the movie is going to be like, and whether the Wild Things will have the same voices that they did in my head as a child (they won't) or that I give them when I read out loud to my daughter (probably not). Somewhere in my head right now, I'm thinking about it from the perspective of Maurice Sendak, and whether he would have expected the film version to be anything like his book (no) and whether he would be happy anyway (I really, really believe yes).
But at this very moment in time, I don't care. I just want to run out of here and not stop till I get to the ocean.
