Coraline

I was going to wait a few days to post anything else because, well, don't get used to this prolific-osity. Yes it's a word...now. But I found this video and I knew I would never find it again or forget about it or decide not to post it so I am giving you three days in a row worth of me!

I basically plan my life around what movies are coming out and when. My calendar is empty aside from release dates. Really. I'm not kidding! All of my summer movies are out and we are now into the dead fall (aside from a few I am really excited about, Burn After Reading, Choke, Blindness, to name a few) so I am looking ahead to next year. Coraline is coming out in February. Coraline is a little book by one of my favorite writers, Neil Gaiman, that not many people have read but that many people should. Henry Selick is directing the stop motion 3D animation adaptation. It's been a really quiet production but today I found a series of videos, which is how I learned about the 3D part. This movie is going to be amazing. If anyone can do stop motion animation, we know by now it's Henry. And Neil sent him the manuscript of the book long before it was ever published so even HE knows it has to be Henry. The story is creepy and quirky and wonderful. It's going to be fantastic and if I had calendar for next year this would already be on there!
