I had seen the reviews, so when we were looking for something to time out, I suggested it. As he said afterwards, he would never have gone to it, but he was really glad he did. Yeah, it does have one sucker-punch of a twist. I think it is based on a book, but I've not read it. I thought the artwork looked like Brian Froud had been involved, but I didn't see a credit for him.

I've been afraid to go see the movie, for fear of changes. Sounds like maybe I should risk it. The book was actually one of my favorites growing up.

I read the book when I was a kid, too, but it had gotten hazy in the intervening years. The movie did a great job of not only bringing back the strangeness of the novel, but the actors are actually pretty good as well. I cringe every tiime I'm about to watch a child actor, not because I don't like them, but because they are often asked to perform beyond their ability or their experience. It's always a delight to be surprised by a kid with some acting chops. Do risk it! I read the book when I was a kid, too, but it had gotten hazy in the intervening years.

I must rent the movie; I meant to see it when it came out, but didn't. And it's only _warm_ here in Santa Fe. Christ, but I'd go mad and run amok if I had to live in most places this summer. Hmmm.
