So…I’m partially alive, I promise. Real life events have been crazy here at 1,416 and Counting headquarters! And I’m still trying to fully process Manos: Hands of Fate…because…well…I think it might have lowered my IQ about eighty-five points. (I only had 100 points to start with too, so, drats!)
However, I AM attending a fantabulously glittery sparkly screening of Twilight tomorrow, so I guess you’ll know soon if the LULZ are worth it or not.
But, I did have to share this with you. Coraline is a new stop-motion film coming out and by all accounts, it looks fantastic. Take note, viral marketers of movies, because this is wise: Check out what Cleolinda and Despoiler got for Coraline. Now that is a ton of awesome and a half. (Me? Envious. Of course. That way beats the nine thousand promotional e-mails I get from PR firms promoting movies that um….I will probably never see. Sorry, random PR firms that e-mail me often. It’s just…I’m not fond of romantic comedies, you see, if you…you know…read my blog.)
Romantic comedies rule, you out of touch grave-robber. ;)
Manos: The Hands of Fate quite an experience, but you’ll come out of it! Have you seen the MST3K version? Good times. Also wow I have spent many months thinking Coraline was going to be computer-animated. I am infinitely more excited that it’s stop-motion! The best kind of animation!
Oooh, thanks for the links. I kind of forgot about Coraline but I love, love the book. The audio book as read by Neil Gaiman is even better.
Heather, I have never read Coraline, but I bought it for my nephew, I think he’ll enjoy it. (Don’t stab me in the eye, but I’ve never read anything by Neil Gaiman. Shhhh…I know, this might revoke my geek card.)
Caitlin, I’m actually very hit and miss with Gaiman myself and tend to like his juvenile/kids fiction more than his other work. I do love him personally however and his blog is one of my favorite places on this here internet. Plus he has a SUPER sexy voice so listening to him read a slightly creepy tale is awesome.
(I know, this post is a million years old. I was trying to find the links to the boxes to show my brother.)
