Beastie Boys Galactica


Galactica: Sabotage Comparison

A remake of The Beastie Boys Sabotage, using action scenes from Battlestar Galactica, matching the Spike Jonze original shot for shot — or at least as close as you can match a remake of a space drama to a '70s cop movie homage. Which, as it turns out, is really closely.

The Underwire tracked down mashup creator Katie King, a self-described "media-obsessed chick who digs all things sci-fi."

Inside All Of Us Is Poop


Do you remember when you first learned that everyone poops? Spike Jonze wastes no time adapting another 10 page children's book into a film and LandlineTV manages to suck some of the pretension out of the upcoming Where The Wild Things Are movie.

They Roared Their Terrible Roars...


The first trailer for Spike Jonze's adaptation of Where the Wild Things Are is out — with Arcade Fire's Wake Up as the backing track — and it looks great, if a little creepy. Of course that could just be me. The book always scared me a little.

Where The Wild Things Are

So they really are making a movie of Maurice Sendak's classic kid lit book, Where The Wild Things Are? Seems so.

Will it terrify little children? I would have thought so, but we read this to Tristan all the time and he's 2 1/2 and has no qualms about it. I suppose if nobody has ever told you monsters are scary, you have nothing to fear.

The film is being directed by Spike Jonze and adapted by Dave Eggers, so the material is in good hands, but I never thought we'd see this on the big screen, let alone a live action version.

Here's a bit of leaked footage:
