Something I forgot to mention about Coraline. I thought it was funny that the Other Mother seemed to be modeled after Victoria Beckham.
Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

I saw Coraline again yesterday and it totally holds up. And spent a little time also figuring out where they used CGI to sweeten the stop action and add SFX.

Picture this: Elton John, Jane Austen and a space predator!
Trend alert! First there was Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Now comes news that Elton John's Rocket Pictures has set Will Clark to direct Pride and Predator, which mixes Jane Austen-period costume drama with an alien crash landing.
According to Variety, the alien will butcher the mannered protaganists, who suddenly have more than marriage and inheritance to worry about.
Shooting will begin in London later this year. John executive-produces, and his Rocket partners Steve Hamilton Shaw and David Furnish are producing.
Clark, who directed the award-winning short The Amazing Trousers, wrote the script with Andrew Kemble and John Pape.
John will supervise the music, as he does in each Rocket-produced film.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Both of the movies referenced in the title will be broadcast on TCM in the next two weeks. I take this as a blessing.
