| Grim Colberty Tales with Maurice Sendak Pt. 2 | ||||
| ||||
This is one of the best interviews I have EVER seen. I had no idea Sendak was such a grouchy old man, and gay at that.
Sendak- I didn't set out to make children happy or to make life better for them or easier for them.
Colbert- Do you like them?
S-I like them as few and far between as I do adults, maybe a bit more because I really don't like adults.
S-I'm a gay man.
C- I'm sorry, I must be mishearing you. You just said you're a gay man? Why are you allowed to write children's books? You're not allowed to head boy scout troops.
S on ebooks: $!$% them is what I say! I hate those e-books. They cannot be the future, they may well be, I will be dead and I won't give a $%!^.

Good clip overall, but I'm posting this for what happens at 3:40. I love him even more. Seriously- he's on my "list." Ryan Gosling and him have pretty much had the stop two spots for awhile now.
-Speaking of Ryan Gosling, Adam and I watched Drive last night. I can't get the trailer to embed, but here is the link. It was such a good movie. Suspenseful movie with an open ending. I don't always like open endings, but it works with this movie.
-I am reading John Green's new book The Fault in Our Stars. I mentioned his vlogs on YouTube to a friend and she had never seen them. Here's a funny one about honey badgers. Here's a somewhat more serious one about Kiva. His brother and him have also started doing crashcourse videos where they teach us stuff.
-I'll end with this one. Now, I'm crunchy in some ways (co-sleeping, extended breastfeeding, delayed vaccination schedule) but very mainstream in other ways.

Hi! So I like Ryan Gosling, Stephen Colbert & Jon Stewart, and just read The Fault in Our Stars. I think your blog is a good place for me to be! :)
That interview with Maurice Sendak had me in such a giggle-fit.
Maurice Sendak is legendary for his grumpiness in the librarian/publishing world. He didn't do much publicly for years (word from my big-wig children's lit professor is that he felt like he hadn't gotten recognition he deserved, apparently), but after his partner died a couple of years ago, I think he might have started feeling his mortality a bit more because he's been more involved in the media and willing to do interviews.
