movie!

Just saw Stardust.

How has everyone not convinced me to see this ages ago? It's really good.

It's lovely isn't it :)

I love most of Neil Gaiman's stuff and this turned into a really good movie. Did you see Coraline?

[deird1]

No, Coraline (the book) freaked me out. I'd end up having nightmares if I tried watching the movie...


Stardust is wonderful, though.

Oh I *adore* that film. We even went and bought it on DVD. ::pets it::

[deird1]

I'm thinking of doing the same. :)

[silverusagi]

Isn't it, though? :)

[deird1]

It really is.

I saw it just recently as well and then wondered why I waited so long to see something so charming and lovely. :)

Ah yes, awesome movie, for all that it was the first time I arghed at "TRUE LOVE DOES NOT HAVE THIS POWER."

...I have it on DVD and haven't watched it. Why. *plots to remedy*

[snowpuppies]

I saw it last summer and instantly fell in love with it!

I have horribly tragic news about that movie (which I think is adorable): Sarah Michelle Gellar was supposed to play Yvaine, but it was stupid FPJ's turn to make a movie. I remain depressed about this to this day, since, though I loved the movie, I thought Claire Danes was horribly miscast. I can't imagine how much more I would have loved the movie if SMG had been in it. *sigh*

But yeah, other than that, it's lovely, isn't it?

I'm sure I would have tried at one point. Want to read the book? I like the ending in the book better.

Also: See Hot Fuzz!!

I enjoyed the movie too, bar the cheesy happy ending, because that shit doesn't fly with me. That aside, I thought Claire Danes and Charlie Cox had great chemistry, and Robert DeNiro was hysterical.

Surely I raved about this movie to you?
Gosh, I thought I'd told everyone to watch it by now...
it rocks!
I love love love it. Not as clever as Neil Gaiman's book, and some bits a little too pat (for someone who's read and loved the cleverness of said book), but still, a beautiful movie I think.
"and this...is where I got hit, by a magical flying MORON!"
Hee.
All that said, I can't stand the role they created for Ricky Gervais, adore Robert deNiro's Captain (even though he was but a paragraph in the book), loooove Dexter Fletcher's eye-rolling sidekick, and think Michelle Pfeiffer makes a brilliant witch, and poor old Septimus is wonderfully cast.
And, the movie has a Take That song in the credits! *goes back to 13-year-old fangirl past*
:-)
I love watching it once a year or so, never fails to get a smile and a sigh.
If you haven't read the book, you should!

[deird1]

I can confidently say you have never raved about this movie to me. :)

It's excellent, isn't it? I'd never read the book before, so I had no idea what to expect...

[immer-am-lesen.livejournal.com]

In that case, I hang my head in shame. I was sure I'd lent it to you a few years back! Hmm. Ah well.
At least you have seen it now, and know that it Is Good.
:-)

[deird1]

Well, in fairness, you were far too busy lending me Stargate...

[immer-am-lesen.livejournal.com]

True, true.
Oh, speaking of...I still await the SGA Season 2 marathon, your place or mine! :-)

[deird1]

Absolutely!

*currently has no time* :(

[immer-am-lesen.livejournal.com]

*is sad*.
Want more SGA...Hurry up and get some free time, dammit, before I go getting a job and then neither of us is free! ;-)

[deird1]

Well, if you will go around cleaning things...

[immer-am-lesen.livejournal.com]

Uh?

[deird1]

...like houses...

[immer-am-lesen.livejournal.com]

....ohhh, just had to think about that some more, then got it. Right. yes. Well, I'm a good friend. :-p
Your turn next time.

[taiba.livejournal.com]

The ending is different in the book, so you would only have known half of what to expect, anyway :-p

[deird1]

How does it end in the book?

[immer-am-lesen.livejournal.com]

...better than in the movie! :-)

Well, far less 'pat' and neat. No great big meet-up at the end, for starters...and the whole 'Monday' thing! So sad they had to lose that in the movie.
