	Spike Jonze (Mondo Thingo: Cheat Notes, episode 24)
		In 1968, Spike Jonze was born Adam Spiegel, of the wealthy Spiegel dynasty.
		The '70s cop show theme was perfect for Spike's DIY techniques, and would've been cheap if he hadn't dropped a camera out of a van and tried to waterproof another by putting it in a ziplock bag.
		Jonze has just finished helping another prolific pseudonym, Nathaniel Hornblower, shoot a video for the Beastie Boys 'Triple Trouble', is in preproduction on 'Where the Wild Things Are' and is again collaborating with Kaufman, this time on a horror film - as if two fat, balding Nicolas Cages weren't scary enough.

		Jonze's old friends the Beastie Boys even drop by to critique a few videos they had nothing to do with -- which, as you might imagine, makes for pretty hilarious listening.

	RES Magazine: Film, Music, Art, Design, Culture
		Spike Jonze (aka Adam Spiegel) was spawned by the same early love for thrashing that inspired him to skip college and head to California (via Maryland) to work for BMX/skate mags Freestylin' and Homeboy.
		Jonze was soon directing skate videos for Chocolate and Girl Skateboards; getting behind the camera soon led to his first music video, Hush, for Wax, which he co-directed with Wing Ko in 1992.
		Not only is the Jonze video oeuvre a testament to his ability to slice, dice and re-jig pop cultural fodder, but his list of musical collaborators reads like a music critic's decade of favorites.

	The DVD Journal \| Reviews : The Work of Director Spike Jonze
		When MTV began attaching a director's credit to their music videos sometime in the early 1990s, once-oblivious viewers were suddenly able to place names with the many distinct styles that had, for better or worse, been shaping the collective pop cultural consciousness for over a decade.
		Meanwhile, Spike is at his broadest with the madcap video for The Beastie Boys' "Sabotage," which plays like the opening credits to the worst '70s cop show that never aired, where police work is reduced to chasing down perps sans sidearm and jumping on them.
		Again, Spike isn't as interested in making the routine look realistic as he is with nailing the feel of a high school sporting event, which he does fairly effortlessly through his unerring knack for costume and set design.

	Spike Jonze Biography - Barnes & Noble.com
		Purportedly an heir to the Spiegel catalog empire, Jonze was born Adam Spiegel in 1969 in St. Louis, MO. Nicknamed "Spike" at a young age -- he was fond of buzz haircuts -- he would adopt the "Jonze" later in life as an homage to the comic bandleader of the 1940s.
		It was Jonze's skateboarding photography which brought the attention of the rock group Sonic Youth, who enlisted him to contribute skate footage to their "100%" video in 1992.
		Instead, producers Jonze and Knoxville saw their no-budget, big-screen installment of Jackass power past 60 million dollars, grossing more than a dozen times its cost and sparking many a debate over the death of cinema, the limits of "reality" entertainment, and the merits of inserting sundry implements into one's bodily orifices.

	The Spike Jonze ad that almost makes IKEA cool. - By Rob Walker - Slate Magazine
		Jonze has made his mark with justly celebrated music videos (like Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice," starring Christopher Walken), as the director of Being John Malkovich, and even as an actor in Three Kings.
		Because I'll essentially be ruining the ad for you in writing about it, I encourage you to take a look before going further: To see the spot, go to www.unboring.com (if you're at work, mute your computer; the site comes up with music) and click on the picture of the TV set.

Spike is married to the very beautiful Sofia Coppola, so the Hollywood lifestyle is truly apart of his daily existence.

		Jonze has a pretty solid rep as a film maker and id be far more interested in seeing a dark, thoughtful Where the Wild Things are than a kiddie sell out flick.
		When i heard Spike was directing, i had so much faith that one of the best stories i was ever read as a child would be translated perfectly to the big screen.
