Sigh!! I can’t wait to see this. I’ve always been in love with his poetry. My kids are definitely going to grow up reading his books.
Reflection
Each time I see the Upside-Down Man
Standing in the water,
I look at him and start to laugh,
Although I shouldn’t oughtter.
For maybe in another world
Another time
Another town,
Maybe HE is right side up
And I am upside down.
By Shel Silverstein
From “A Light in the Attic”
Since I’m a nice person, I’ve already taken the liberty of figuring out Spike Jonze’s next film. It will be an adaptation of this Shel Silverstein classic (and, for what it’s worth, my favorite book ever growing up) and will star Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the Boy at all the various stages of his life (with Benjamin Button like CGI wizardy, obvs). The Tree will be played/voiced by Gabriel Byrne, accent intact. The soundtrack will be by Sonic Youth.
You are welcome, Spike Jonze.
