Why aren't you at Stardust ? No, I'm not going to leave you alone until you go see it

I promised my sister I'd see it with her, but she won't be here until the 18th! I am poor and cannot justify seeing it twice. WOE.

[cleolinda]

You are excused. Hee.

[word_herder]

Whew. I was worried there. I promise, though--it's killing me.

I've read the book, and you're telling me the movie is worth seeing?

So rare, that.

[cleolinda]

Very much so--I saw it at a preview last Friday. They changed and added several things to create more physical action, but they kept a surprising amount of the spirit and tone of the book, I thought. My understanding is that Gaiman was very involved with the production, so I like to think that he approved all the changes, or possibly even came up with a few himself.

Yeah, i've been reading about Stardust for quite awhile on the Gaiman feed I'm on.

I watched it with friends, family etc last night

It's not as wonderfully funny as The Princess Bride but it is a very good adaptation and one that I will buy on DVD as soon as the super special edition with all the extras comes out.

It really is good and I would go again to see it. Everybody that we went with enjoyed it too. Even if they had not read the book.

cleo, the Greg Grunberg link goes to the Merv Griffin story.

Excellent! I am appeased.

R.L. Stine? OH THE MEMORIES! Granted, he was no Christopher Pike, but entertaining nonetheless. ;D
