Wishes come true, not free

This is for you the_disco_fairy.

I saw the movie tonight with cybermathwitch and the_disco_fairy. I rather adored it. It was not art, but there was so much suck-nostalgia -- (I grew up with GI Joe, ya know?) that I ended up loving it.

Even the cheese.

(I have one or two thinky thoughts about it that would lead me too far down Spoiler Lane, and I can't be arsed to bother with a cut.)

So.

I finally got to see Stardust last night.  If you haven't seen it yet you .. uh.. should.  It's lovely.  I'm beginning to believe that I need to explore Gaiman.  I've read Good Omens (the intellectual love-child he fathered with Terry Pratchett), and now I've seen Stardust.  Those of you in the know, and I'm looking at you black_magdalene, does the movie bear any resemblance to the book?

I also have a copy of Anansi Boys that I picked up on the cheap, but I haven't read it yet.

In other news, I've also recently seen Hogfather.   I absolutely adore Terry Pratchett.
