I was happy you liked Claire. I've missed her, and thought she was (to make an awful pun, sorry) a bright spot in the film. I actually liked Michelle Pfeiffer too. She seemed to be having fun. It was just a feel good sorta fluffy movie--but I'll have to get ahold of the novel now because I'm sure it's far more interesting. And I'm woefully under-read when it comes to Neil--except for the Sandman and Good Omens.
Whoops! I'm so braindead! We do know one another! I think I thought you were Darell Schweitzer for some reason--Weird Tales guy! Then I thought about it and I'm like....no. That name is familiar for another reason. I think I'm developing a brain tumor! Weren't you at TNEO w/ me in 06? I'm a dork. Forgive me. I didn't know you did reviews for SH--but then I guess I'm not good at noticing any details that don't run me over like a Mac Truck!! Well cool! We're both SH scribes! And it's your job to be hard on a film. Gives people something to think about and argue about and we all love to argue! You should see the catty things I say when I review something. I turn into a Snark monster. It's compulsive! So glad to reconnect with you. I enjoyed the review. What are your thoughts on the upcoming Dark is Rising movie? I hear it's a travesty!
I was thinking we met at the Odfellows party at WFC in Madison two years ago; I could be wrong. I haven't been to TNEO since (I think) 2001? So it wasn't then.
I've heard some mixed things about the Dark is Rising film too. I have to confess I've not read the books, though, so I'm not sure I would know!
