Stardust thoughts

There were a few parts that totally shouldn't be funny but were totally funny anyway.  Like when the guy that talked like a chicken died.  Well, it was supposed to be funny, but you know.  You shouldn't laugh at people dying.  But it was hilarious anyway.  On the topic of deaths-should-not-be-funny-but-I-laughed-anyway, I totally loved it when Septimus (?) pushed his brother out the window.  Did not see that coming.  The way the king just laughed at it was awesome as well.  The ghosts of all the brothers were generally pretty amusing as well.

I mentioned that I thought the ending--which suddenly took a turn for the serious--clashed a bit with the rest of the movie, but it made sense.  I loved that witchy lady whatever her name is.

The actress for Yvaine has a very active face and a head that bobs around a lot.  Not a bad thing, really, but I couldn't help but notice during her long "I think I love you" monologue.  Tristan himself was adorable.  The pirate captain dude was wuv.  I think Septimus' line when he saw him dancing around was "What the hell?" which basically sums it up pretty nicely.

I'll start the book after I finish Hogfather (by Terry Pratchett, and I don't like books focusing on Susan or Death, so I'm not really liking it so much right  now) and I'm hoping the witch lady's two sisters had more of a personality in it.

I hope they make a movie out of Neverwhere.  It doesn't lend itself as well to the current fantasy trendiness, but I think it'd lend itself much, much better to a movie.  They'd miscast Islington though.  They always do.

PS: Dammit, Abby, I've got the Sailor Moon theme song stuck in my head too.  The English one, which I've actually only heard a few times before.  It's stupidly catchy.  "She's the one named Sailor Moon!"
