Coraline and other fun things (including some BIG NEWS about my sister)

Feb 12, 2009 11:47

vwlphb and I went to see Coraline IN 3-D yesterday, and it was totally awesome. I think that's actually the first movie I've seen in 3-D on the big screen, although vwlphb has seen several. ( Here's a Coraline trailer I linked before in case you haven't seen any already.)

( LJ-cut for Coraline discussion even though I am pretty sure I didn't spoil anything much )

poetry, reviews, literature, discworld, family, coraline, ellen datlow, vwlphb, wonderful neil, movies, terry pratchett, convention, friends, nadwcon

I saw Coraline also, and I really liked it. It's different from the book, but not in a bothersome way.

Yay for the Discworld convention! I wish I knew where I was going to be come September so I could make definite hotel and airline reservations. Richard and I have purchased our memberships though, and we plan to be there.

EDIT: Oh and I forgot to add- Congratulations to your sister!

Well we look forward to having you at the con! You've still got some time to book your flights and hotel rooms. :)

And thanks! We are very excited for her!

Congratulations to your sister! :)

Coraline sounds so great. I haven't read the book yet either, but I'm planing to get to it before the movie comes out over here in May.

By the way, I meant to ask you if you know whether you guys in the US will have any chance to see Terry Pratchett's documentary on living with alzheimer's? Because if not I could upload it for you if you'd like to see it.

I am planning to read the book, too. I haven't had time yet.

Oh, YES! I would totally, completely adore you if you could upload the documentary for me. I have NO idea when or if it will be on TV here.

So, here you go: Terry Pratchett's Living with Alzheimer's Ep. 1 and 2

Because those files are totally huge I had to split them into 7 parts each, to join them again you'll need to use hjsplit, which I uploaded for you here.
Just save all the parts to the same folder and select the first part in hjsplit.

It's a great documentary, really interesting and informative.

Thanks, you are AWESOME. I'm going to try to upload them to a DVD because my computer has almost no space left! It seems to be working so far. :)
