Movie Buzz Check out Spike Jonze's short film “Scenes from the Suburbs”, based on Arcade Fire's album The Suburbs. Spoiler alert: Win and Will Butler from the band play cops. (Nice work by Nerve finding this on YouTube). (via youtube.com)
Someone who knows Yo-Yo Ma saw Lil Buck on YouTube and organized this awesome collaboration. This is all presented by Spike Jonze, for some reason. (Via officialhype)
This is the trailer for the Spike Jonze/Arcade Fire short film “Scenes From The Suburbs.” Who the hell are these guys, anyway?
Arcade Fire join forces with Spike Jonze and a bunch of kids from Texas in this video for “The Suburbs.” This is just like what the suburbs are like. Nice job, Spike Jonze. (Via Naylamin.)
Music Buzz Today was Biggie Smalls' birthday. He is young forever. This Spike Jonze video makes me tear up.
You may remember that David Cross, Will Arnett, and Spike Jonze made a show for British TV, spitting in the face of the American fans who made them famous. Well, now you can you watch the pilot on Vimeo. Cold comfort.
Spike Jonze's short film 'I'm Here', about robots in love in Los Angeles, premiered at Sundance and will can be seen in it's entirety on the director's site in March. It's like if iRobot mated with You've Got Mail! Brilliant!
The theatrical trailer for Spike Jonze's newest short film entitled “I'm here,” which premiered last night at Sundance. It has robots in it!
So you might know that Will Arnett, David Cross, and Spike Jonze are on a TV show together! Except only in the UK. Here's a preview clip, to make you angrier about that fact.
Just because they're both named Spike doesn't mean they both make the same kind of movies.
Since it's Spike Jonze week, here is a test film from another children's joint that was cruelly shot down by studios for being too edgy. Related: still waiting for someone to finish that article and let me know whether he's still with Michelle Williams. Thanks!

Everyone's reading the Spike Jonze profile from the coming weekend's Times Magazine, so you probably should, too. My favorite part of this article so far is the caption that helpfully clarifies, “Jonze is the one without a wolf suit.”
A group blog about Where The Wild Things Are (movie version) and all the artists who've been a part of the filmmaking process.
The famously misanthropic author behind the book seems visibly enthusiastic about Spike Jonze and Dave Eggers's predictably twee, luscious film adaptation set to open this fall. Not that we weren't going to see it, but when Maurice Sendak gives something the ok, it goes to the top of the list.
Movie Buzz In preparation for Where the Wild Things Are, Spike Jonze has started a blog which is being described as “part arts/culture blog, part Wild Things primer, and part newspaper for stuff that makes us psyched.” Uhh, kind of sounds like Buzzfeed?
Spike Jonze tests a mask from Where The Wild Things Are on an unwilling child. This upholds my working thesis that everything about this movie makes me want to both cry and conceive.
Goldenfiddle points out the disturbing yet unavoidable parallels between Watchmen and Where The Wild Things Are. I hear Spike Jonze inserted an awkward sex scene set to “Hallelujah”, too.

Videogum has some extended instructions for your DIY Spike Jonze pleasure. There's only the one video right now, but it still helps to assuage the self-hate that comes with crying over a wolf suit and an Arcade Fire song.
Movie Buzz The first trailer for the Eggers/Jonze adaptation is here. Pro tip: watch in a place where you can flap your arms and squeal like a small child.
A couple new still images from Spike Jonze's long-awaited movie of Where the Wild Things Are are online. Tragically, we still have almost a year of additional waiting before it finally comes out. But it will be amazing!
