The wild things were cool, but the story was pointless. They got too artsy with it; there was no purpose, no meaning, no lesson learned, nothing to take away. The story just didn’t resolve, or connect, or mature into anything. It was a 2 hour display of human negativity.

The emotions of the creatures and max were to complicated, mixed, and obscure for a child to get let alone an adult.

The movie was very depressing and treated emotions like they were a depressing part of life that you just had to put up with. And the movie focused almost completely on the negative emotions. Very little was positive and if there was something positive iit was short lived because something negative would always come wipe it away.

It was very disappointing watching this film. I expected something better, something simpler for a book that was a big part of my childhood.

Don’t take your kids they will be bored to death watching this film.

Have you seen the Ads for the new terminator ride at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia? Did you notice how they don’t actually show you the roller coaster? Well thats because they don’t want you to know their dirty little secret. The new Terminator is the old Psychlone roller coaster. They just changed the name!

Imagine how disappointed my whole family was when we went to six flags to check it out. What a scam. Don’t waste your time if your looking for a new ride.

“It doesn’t matter how good your content is, nor how pretty your web site looks, or even how cool the new Flash functionality works. If users can’t find it, it doesn’t exist. If they can’t find it, they cannot convert [from leads to sales]” (re:cognition).

Check out this aticle: The Benefits of Usability and SEO. It provides an in depth look at these 2 concepts.

Once there was an old, mean, and ugly blacksmith who thought he knew how to do everything. One day he decided he would start marketing his business online by building a website. The blacksmiths apprentice told him to hire Pear Web® – Ye Old Web Design and Schnapps Shoppe to build his web site. The blacksmith turned his nose up at the idea and decided to build it himself. After all he was an accomplished blacksmith! He could do anything.

The blacksmith built his website and business remained the same. The blacksmith gained no new clients, and actually began to lose customers to his competitor Horatio Iron Tongs who did hire Pear Web to build his site.

The blacksmith tried to recover some ground by hiring his sister-in-laws teenage nephew Bartholomew the Scrawny to redo his site for $200 bucks. While Bartholomew did improve the site visually a bit it still was not even close to the quality he would need to attract new business.

Unfortunately the blacksmith started losing money at a tremendous rate because he lowered his image by associating his name and his business with a poorly developed website. People associated the shoddy website with shoddy service.

The blacksmith closed the doors to his business and died a lonely old man with no friends, no possessions, and no money. Even his dog left him and it was all because he was to stubborn to hire the professionals at Pear Web to build his website.

The End.
