The older I get the more I realize how easy it is to forget to have fun.

Sneak Peek: The Monsters of Where The Wild Things Are | /Film.

but, it’s NaBloPoMo. so, i’ve got to say something: that mexican food was not good. in contrast, the movie “MOON,” which I’m seeing tomorrow, looks really good.

The photography and typography of the poster is really great. And, I have to say, it’s the best Woody Allen movie I’ve seen so far (which is a lot of them). It feels like he’s getting better and better at making films. Oh yeah, don’t forget to watch the trailer (and swoon).
