Life is good: Serenity and Mirrormask both open today (although it looks like the few reviews posted so far for Mirrormask are not so hot). Not being the movie geeks we once were, we won't try to cram them both in on the same night. But we're definitely heading to Kendall Square tomorrow to catch Mirrormask. (And afterward, Toscis!)
Also, don't miss The Onion's A.V. Club interviews with Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean. Neil, on being cool:
AVC: Has having children affected your interest in children's books, or changed your writing?Posted by rv at September 30, 2005 03:22 PM to movieNG: Possibly, but I think having been a child, and having been a certain sort of child, is probably the thing that made me the most interested. But it's certainly been incredibly useful for my credibility at home, doing children's books. Especially from my youngest, Maddy—it's been fun doing things like Coraline, and having a daughter to try them out on. It's simply lovely having somebody who thinks this stuff is fun. From Maddy's point of view, really, the cool thing is the fact that I know Lemony Snicket, that she got to have dinner with Daniel Handler, the fact that R.L. Stine says hello. I am now cool.
