I know this is a personal question, but are you clinically insane?
Posted by Nicole at 10:03 AM
One might think that Neil Gaiman is clinically insane about 3 pages into one of his books or short stories. Not because it is so weird, confusing, or "out there"... but because it is sooooo good. He writes the way humans see.
It is a ironic that I should like his writings so much. As a rule (as in an absolute code like a marine would follow) I do NOT read anything that may cause my heightend imagination to work at full power; especially when it contains freaky material. And freaky is what Neil does best.
If you want to learn more about Mr. Gaiman and his works, visit www.neilgaiman.com. Choose any of his books and you'll be entertained. I swear, or so help me from Mr. Croup and Mr. Vandemaar.
Which brings me to why I'm posting. Awhile ago, MK and I had a little discussion as to who would constitute a dangerous couple to produce a movie (a la Lucas/Speilberg). My suggestion was Jim Henson Studios and anyone with a creative imagination. One of my examples being them and Neil Gaiman....
Lo and behold...it seems Neil has infact partnered with Jim Henson Studios and Director Dave McKean to bring the public a new movie "MirrorMask". Most people have commented on it being the next stage in the Labrynth/DarkCrystle creative cycle. I'll agree. It's the kind of thing that we have been waiting for since David Bowie joined the "puppets are cool to work with bandwagon". All freaking aboard!
