Because you don't (obsessively) read Mr. Gaiman's blog?
That would be it. I spend too much time here already; after several brief forays, I'm utterly convinced that my employment would not survive my unrestricted wandering about in LJland and the blogosphere, so if it's movie-related (or practically anything-else-related) and nobody mentions or links to it here or in Salon or the NYT, I don't know about it.
Stoopid workplace, always expecting me to do stuff for them just because they give me money.
Hmmm. Looks like TMBG are doing songs for Henry Selick's stop motion animated Coraline. And French and Saunders are scheduled for some of the old lady voices.
To which I say: Cool!
I hope the massive success of
The Corpse Bride
sparks a renaissance in gothy stop motion animation.

Please oh please oh please.
While watching
Edward Scissorhands
the other day, I thought, "Now the castle here is just about the most perfect goth setting ever." Then I thought about Halloweentown and Jack's house. Then I thought about the dilapidated zoo in the snow in
Batman Returns.
And, of course, the sets for the Lemony Snicket movie were all exactly perfect.
There really ought to be a Goth Town somewhere.

Yes, there should. If Buffista Island happens, it can go there.
Will you let me live there even though I don't like the music?
Don't forget about the Addams mansion - from the movie, not the show, of course.

Of course. Though you've already expressed liking for some Nick Cave and I'm pretty sure you'd love all the snarky gothy piano ballads mix I made, as they are (a) pretty (b) smart (c) somewhat wicked. All of which I associate with the Betsian aesthetic.
