Time to cap the day with a few beers, the robot, and a slightly promising tidbit: Warner Bros. has finally set a (final???) release date for Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are. You know, the family film based on the children's book that has united geeks, author Maurice Sendak, hipsters and lil' kids in a bitter internet warz against The Man and overprotective parents. Coming Soon reports that we can all meet up and celebrate our giant WIN....over a year from now, on October 16, 2009. Yah mon, this is the same release date that was announced back in February before the film was wiped off the slate. GlugGlug\o/Glug.
