triadruidThe other thing of note that happened yesterday (besides the UUA Forum) was that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
featherynscale and I went to see Stardust. I recommend it, especially if you like the madcap pace & hijinks of The Princess Bride; it's very much in that vein. The actors generally do a good-to-screamingly-funny job; the director is fairly new which explains some pacing issues (and they did a good job of adapting the pacing of the middle of the book to the big screen). The music, however, is derivative and distracting. I'm hoping it was an intentional pastiche/homage/parody, because otherwise somebody got robbed...
I'd go see it again, and I'd probably even buy it.
