His camera work was even worse than his art. I came out of the cinema feeling like I'd been on a boat on high seas. Thank goodness others also provided footage, so the picture occasionally comes to rest. A debate on what is original art, and what is hijacked. Well. I think that is what Banksy is hoping for. Meanwhile, I will start on my OWN new oil painting. ;-) Amber Quite frankly, nobody hopes he will pick up a camera again. His camera work was even worse than his art.

Very nice and I do get the point, I think. I must admit not to have much faith in the verdict of the American elite-art-audience, being an exponent of Europeanism myself, and even an Anarcho-one at that, and Madonna would be the LAST one I'd trust in having any good taste. Maybe MBW will come to his senses and pick up a camera again. I do however feel for him. I was making "art" too this summer, painting and sculpting, knowing in the back of my mind that my products were embarrassingly low in quality and if not that, then they were snatched and looted from the pictures I had lodged in my mind, picked up somewhere, made by people who REALLY know what they were doing. Art is tempting. Not only looking at it, but certainly also making it. But surely you know how THAT works.... Well well, a WELL written piece Amber. Very nice and I do get the point, I think.

Always happy to please. A story like that allows a person to just briefly flex the literary muscle, so to speak. It doesn't have to have intended meaning other than that acquired by pure chance. I didn't write it with a specific purpose in mind either, other than that it had to be fast, and contain only the bare storyline. ACN Well, thank you, Mike. Always happy to please.

I was scared because the sea was very rough. And what I liked about the kitty cat is that the monster was stroking it in his arms. And I liked the dog on the dunes because it was so fluffy and the wind was blowing so it made his fur stand out. Nemo 8 years old.

I liked Bob and Terry, the owels. The wild things can be scarry at times. I liked it very much. It was sad and funny and thrilling. I was sad when Max left the monsters. Bob and Terry were funny because they only squawked instead of talking and everyone could understand them except Max and Carol. The way the monsters could jump super high looked funny too. They had funny voices like people but looked different from people but yet they looked like the monsters in the book and looked like people in Maxes life. It was thrilling when the wild things were mad. They would do scary things with their eyes and teeth and chase each other and hurt each other. They would throw dirt and one got hurt on the head. They would growl and make you uncomfortable to be around them. Kids under the age of 6 should not watch it. The movie is very different from the book, It’s quite wierd in a way.

That is what I found funny.

I agree that the emotions that play such a heavy role in this film may be confusing to younger children. To me, it is not a funny film; it is not about the fun kids have, it is about adult-type emotions which the child lets run thru his head, but doesn't quite 'get', and he is rambling in between rolling in the woods. I think that a younger child will overlook the bits he does not understand, and latch on to the feeling that he does. I was very guarded as to if I was going to take my kids, but I am sure that they can deal with a "children's drama". Life is not only fun in the movies. I love your reaction - take care.
