Stardust

My lovely Boyfriend took me to see Stardust last night.

Loved it. I love fairy tales, especially those with a little punch. The Princess Bride is one of my favorite books and movies.

Back to Stardust.

Yes, there probably were plot holes and other things wrong but fortunately for me I have retained my childhood ability to be enchanted and get far too involved in the story to care. As long as the story telling is good. And the holes aren't too glaring. I'm not going to say anything about the actual story as people may not have seen the movie or read the book or graphic novel thingy, and it'd be dashed unsporting to give away details.

I'd seen the trailers for the movie and loved the song that went with it. Then I found out it was by Take That. Hmmm. This does pose a problem. I am of an age to have been a Take That fan first time round and I wasn't. I did not understand the hysteria and devotion of those around me. When their comeback was announced I didn't really care. Until, that is, they actually released some alright tracks. The adult me is okay with this, the part that is forever a teenager is not. Totally not, okay ?
