Haven't read the book. I find this is the ideal way to see based-on-a-book movies.
I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Porco Rosso gets a few viewings here, too, but we have to skip the fight at the end, which is a bit too intense for our little guy.

I think that's Emmett's favorite part. Of course, he's been saying "Violence is cool!" since he was five.

I love Totoro, but it pushes some particular buttons of mine very hard, so I always spend part of the movie crying. Which is why I prefer to watch Kiki's Delivery Service more.
But they're both movies I'm planning on introducing Princess Tickybox to. Those, Monsters, Inc., and Lilo and Stitch.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Lilo and Stitch.
One of Emeline's FAVORITES.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
It's okay, my dog found the chainsaw.

Newsweek didn't like Stardust at all, except for De Niro's performance. Also they said it was based on Gaiman's illustrated novel. The paperback I read was most definitely not illustrated - to what were they refering?

From Wikipedia: [link]
Stardust was originally conceived by Gaiman and Vess as a "story book with pictures", created by both, and to be published by DC Comics. Initially it was released in 1997 in what is known in the medium of comics as a "prestige" format four-issue mini-series.
Gaiman and Vess originally intended the story to be released complete, as a single book which would better reproduce the painted illustrations of Vess and be a "story book" for all ages, and a release in this format was made in 1998. There was both a hardback and a trade paperback edition.
Gaiman retains the copyright to the text and in 1999 decided, encouraged by publisher Avon, to publish Stardust as a conventional novel in hardback without illustrations.

If you've never seen the illustrated version of Stardust, I highly recommend it. It's beautiful.
