If you'd like to read a well written inversion of the Snow White tale, have a look at Neil Gaiman's Snow, Glass, Apples.

Fair warning, it's NSFW.

If what he says is true, then this is the sort of game I've waited my entire gamer-life to play. Whoa.

Also, the guy sort of sounds like Neil Gaiman with a french accent at times.

And disagreement is cool with me, I often disagree with people who like musicals but I can do so without being a jerk about it, I'm just not into them. An active imagination is often considered a sign of intelligence and higher thinking. I'm pretty sure creative minds like Neil Gaiman, Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, just to name a few, are not lacking in the intelligence or comprehension departments. Gene Roddenberry could be responsible for god knows how many people going into the sciences, inspired to make the future, he imagined a reality.
Lincoln was great movie and I'd be all for seeing a movie based on the 47 Ronin that was more historically accurate, but that doesn't mean I can't also enjoy movies like Pacific Rim. As for 300, the movie was actually based on Frank Miller's graphic novel, which I doubt was ever intended to be a factual account of the event anyhow. Movies like this one are, for better or worse a product of market forces and the society we live in.

Neil Gaiman wrote about this in one of his Sandman comics... a student from a necropolis went on a "field trip" to participate in this rare ritual done where burying and burning are out of the question. In the comic the bones of the interred were ground up in a mortar and mixed with blood and corn meal as the last step,then the attendants would sit around and have a small meal and trade stories with the gore still on their hands as a sign of respect to the departed.

"Or we can throw you to the vultures who will tear up your corpse-Gobble Gobble Gobble,which will be a bit of a shock if she's not quite dead!"

Absolutely loved Anansi Boys still been meaning to get around to reading American Gods.

Read American Gods or Anansi Boys (or both, in that order.) You won't be sorry.>> ^Porksandwich:
Pretty awesome speech there. Can't say I've read anything of his, but I am pretty bad about remembering authors after a few years.

I really enjoyed this movie, for me it was certainly one of the better independent films of 2009. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to fans of fantasy movies, although it's probably not for everyone.

There are times when it's apparent it's an indy film, but for the most part the movie achieves high production values. At no point did the acting make me cringe as so many badly made indy and B movies do. Those I simply can't watch.

Stormsinger is quite right when he talks about world building, and about the world co-existing 'just under the skin' of the real world we all live in. In this respect it reminded me of Neil Gaiman and his book Neverwhere and similar.

If you like the sort of fantasy movie which subtly suggests reality is not quite what it seems, that there is magic just under the surface if we could only see it, then this may be one you want to see.

There's certainly an element of the surreal to the movie, so I can see how it's reminded others of similarly surreal flicks, but this is not dystopian sci-fi, it's really more for fantasy fans that sci-fi buffs.

I gave this book to a girlfriend back in 1996 after thumbing through it and recognizing that Neil Gaiman + Magic + Black Humor had to = Win. She loved it, and she had very good taste as far as fiction was concerned. I always meant to read it because I like Neil Gaiman and british humor. Will try to do so before the movie comes out almost guaranteed to have Johnny Depp in it.

Even though 'The Canadian' is part of this, Neil Gaiman is still *british! And you should know this zifnab, that being your channel and all.

Still, *promote
