(for those who prefer to watch)

John Krasinski's film version of David Foster Wallace's book, Brief Interviews With Hideous Men, is coming to theaters this September. (Out of curiosity, have any of you seen Krasinski in the Dave Eggers' penned film, Away We Go, yet? It's actually much better than the critics are letting on.)

And cuz I'm obsessed: Only 93 more days 'til Where The Wild Things Are is released!
