Where The Wild Things Are The Soundtrack.

Image taken from Amazon

I talked about this in a previous post about movie "In Bruges"
Months later I found the theme song has been leaked on Youtube, and I've posted it at another community.
So here is the track


Karen O (Yeah Yeah Yeahs) & The Kids - All Is Love.


Karen O's song makes me cry only when she not doing YYYs.
It was also a Spike Jonze work.
2005 Adidas Commercial "Hello Tomorrow" (MJZ)


Squeak E. Clean feat. Karen O - Hello Tomorrow

and full song


Last time, I was mentioned that "Where The Wild Things Are" will featured musics by Carter Burwell. However, the soundtrack which will be released on September 29th featured only one track by Carter Burwell(entitled "Lost Fur"), rest 13 tracks were created by Karen O & The Kids, it's too bad without full feature of Carter Burwell.

Superbad...Supertouch
男孩我最壞/男孩不壞 ...超溫情

"Shitty- Brained" ─ a male full of sex and filthy thoughts which was defined by my mom, while we were watching Fanboys and specified for the character Hutch played by Dan Fogler.

"大便腦" ─ 觀賞"Fanboys"(星戰迷友)時,家母對那種滿腦子淫亂思想的男人下的標籤,指的就是Dan Fogler飾演的Hutch。
It absolutely a suitable tag for Seth played by Jonah Hill in the movie Superbad, maybe more shitty than Hutch.

這標籤給在"男孩我最壞"裡Jonah Hill飾演的Seth更適合不過了,可能比Hutch還要糟糕。

I had had Superbad for a while, but did not have a mood or time to enjoy it.
During that period a movie channel even played a censored version, and I missed.
Finally, several days before,it was a late night I decide to watch it.

有"男孩我最壞"已經好一段時間,但是一直都沒心情和時間看。這段期間,電影頻道也播過修剪的版本。
終於,幾天前的深夜,下定決心給它看下去。


Superbad, a 2007 movie, I had been watched the title sequence so many times, and I like it, a retro intro like early 70 or 80 movies. Simple and colourful. Combined contrast colours and funky soul music "Too Hot to Stop" by The Bar-Keys became a vivid but not haste start of the movie.
And even the Columbia Picture logo was a late 1970s version. (by imdb)
But I have no knowledge of animation, movies nor arts, I don't know what exactly that should be called. Anyway, the title was created by YARD VFX (the link contained a .mov format clip of the title.)
"男孩我最壞",2007年的電影。光是片頭我就已經看了好幾遍,復古形式的開場(哥倫比亞片頭商標也用1970年代晚期的版本),不知道學名叫什麼的對比色配製,搭配The Bar-Keys的放克靈魂音樂"Too Hot to Stop",更顯悠哉。整個片頭由YARD VFX製作(聯結網頁有mov.格式影片)

On the other hand, "Superbad" may refer to 70s James Brown's Superbad which I posted below... Somehow this 2007 film did not feature...
另外,片名原文"超級壞"也許跟靈魂教父詹姆士布朗的"超級壞"有關,但是這部片裡完全沒有出現這首歌...
我貼在下面。


However, there was another teenager film featured this track and used it as title track. It was The New Guy(2002), also a Paramount presentation.
不過同樣是哥倫比亞出品的2002年電影"高校瘋神榜"用這首歌做為片頭歌曲。


Shitty- brain, Seth, has a scratch book contains all his brilliant artworks of penis in the story which were actually drew by David Goldberg, Evan Goldberg's brother that was one of best part of this movie for me, surprisingly the scene came with "Roda" by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66,nice track.

Seth,所謂的大便腦,在故事中有一本相當精采充滿老二圖畫的畫冊,實際上是編劇Evan Goldberg的哥哥David Goldberg繪製,介紹這畫冊的片段相當的驚喜,背景音樂是拉丁音樂國寶(?誤)Sergio Mendes和Brasil '66樂團的"Roda"。


The drawing had been even published a hardcover book, I saw it @ Amazon.
Costs $11.70+ @ Amazon.
這畫冊後來也出版了,在亞馬遜看到,精裝本,最便宜台幣大概四百多元。
(貴的要6、7百)

Everything went like average high school party adventure flick, alcohol,Hormone, weed, drug, sex. And more rebellion.
整部片其實跟一般的高校派對冒險片一樣,酒精、菸草、毒品、荷爾蒙、性,不過更加反骨。

But first, stories like this use to be minors want to have party and get laid, starting an adventure to this goal, adults always get in the way.
Somehow Superbad had made a connection between adults and minors, this may not a typical high school party movie would be contained.
I was feeling a little bit of tense while watching scene that dealing with adults, but everything turned out fine, I mean the story.
The story contained some details which I think was good like, meeting adults that telling some valuable experiences but without pressure.
It's like every adults were once teenagers, while they meet teenagers that seem lost, they have a compassion for them.

Second, friendship.
Relationship of brotherhood seems recently become a hot topic in Hollywood industry. (I've almost convinced myself in the all these brotherhood movies you can see Seth Rogen.) They use brotherhood relationship to contrast relationship between women, for example, "You, Me and Dupree"(2006),"Knock Up"(2007),(Paul Rudd did a lot movies alike) but suddenly brotherhood became a main subject,"Step Brothers"(2008)(but this one is childish), "I Love You,Man"(2009)(I haven't seen this one, but this one absolutely is).
"Drillbit Taylor"(2008) (Rest peacefully Mr. John Hughes) is a little bit like Superbad except this is a movie for children so amature subjects are not included. (Seth Rogen wrote both Superbad and Drillbit Taylor scripts, so I suppose that "Pineapple Express"(2008) which I haven't seen would also be one of the brotherhood section.)

第一、這種故事通常就是一堆小鬼想開趴想越軌,接著就開始了一場冒險,然後大人就會出來攪局。
"男孩我最壞"裡的小鬼和大人間卻存在著一種關聯,相當不凡。
看到大人出現的場景時還蠻為那些小鬼緊張的,還好沒事。
故事裡有些不錯的地方,像是成人在不給壓力的情形下傳授一些經驗給小鬼們,感覺很好。
就像這些成人也是過來人,看到這些小鬼的時候反而產生共鳴。

第二、最近好萊塢似乎逐漸在把好兄弟間的情誼這種元素放大。(我幾乎要覺得這些片子裡面都會有Seth Rogen)
過去男人間的情誼都是建立在要和男女間關係的對比上,譬如說,"新婚奧客"、"好孕臨門"
(Paul Rudd演了好多這樣的片)。
但突然間,這種拿來做對比的關係變成了主題。"爛兄爛弟"(不過這個很幼稚的)、"麻吉伴郎"(還沒看過但是這應該錯不了)
"廉價保鑣"(?)這有點類似"男孩我最壞",只是"男孩我最壞"兒童不宜。
(Seth Rogen參與了上述兩部片的編劇,所以我看"菠蘿快遞"(2008)應該也是這種兄弟情誼片。)

Anyway, those are how a hilarious comedy turned out be a touching drama at the final scene. Boys get their goals indirectly, lessons learned, but somehow something been lost.
總之,上面兩點就是讓一個瘋狂喜劇在最後,轉變成感人好戲的重要成份。
男孩們間接的達到了他們的目標,但又好像失去了什麼。

By the way, I am going to introduce some faces you gotta know for comedian generation next.
順便介紹一些面孔,這些人會是未來喜劇片的主流人物...
