I was out tonight with laura27md to see Stardust. 

Go see this movie.  Ignore the trailer for "The Dark Is Rising", please, but go see this movie. 

It's a little less complex than the book, but it's dramatic and fantastic and funny and altogether great.  It's also scattered with what I suspect are very subtle inside jokes--I spotted what could be hat-tips to Ladyhawke, Little Women, and The Dark Crystal, and I'll bet I missed some. 

And stay to watch all the way through the credits.  *grin* 

Go, go!

I'm thinking of waiting because it just didn't look good from the trailer.

I tried to start the audiobook, but it was boring. . .lol! I'll try again at work sometime this week. Not a HUGE Chelle Pfifer fan either so. . .we'll see. Although I did watch a fair amount of Greece 2, but that was mainly because of Maxwell Caufield.

Heh, they put it on audiobook? How odd--it's a graphic novel. I'm a fan of Ms. Pfeiffer myself, though mostly due to Ladyhawke. This one keeps getting compared to The Princess Bride, which is fair, but this takes itself just a bit more seriously.

Actually, it was orginally published as a graphic novel and then was republished in a coventional hard back without the illustrations (this is the version Brent and I have). They are supposed to be putting it out in a new illustrated hard back (same illustator as the graphic novel with new illustrations) sometime in the near future.

As for the film, I loved it! Robert De Niro stole the film (which was really hard to do since everyone was excellent). See my journal entry for a more in depth review.
