Well, that was quite easy actually: I wasn't in a theater, so I couldn't leave it either

I just saw Get Smart, and I thought it was hilarious in a somewhat subdued way. I loved how most of the jokes weren't hammered into the ground like most parodies like to do... like when
And I do adore Anne Hathaway . |

I watched it with my family. I was the only one who thought it funny and the rest walked out halfway through...
I liked his dry manner.

Prince and the Pauper a BBC-series. It was pretty good, worth a few tears here and there and has a happy ending.
Sad to think that in reality the boy only got to reign for 5 years before he died.

Have just seen Stardust - a very good fantasy adventure movie, imo, just the kind of film I like.

The book is better IMHO. Actually, when I watched this film the first time I was like "Didn't I see this before? No, it's quite new. Then why do I know this already!?" and then I figured out I read it. I think it's by Garth Nix. I'm fairly positive the books are on the N-shelf in the library anyway. I can see it in my mind.

Neil Gaiman is the author you're thinking of. At least you have the right initials, just mixed up.
I've read the book but still have to see the movie.

Isn't his pseudonym Garth Nix though? If I weren't too lazy, I'd look it up

I don't think so. I googled it, and it said Garth Nix is not a pseudonym, but apparently the author's real name.

I've been wanting to see that. Everyone who has mentioned it to me has told me it is a very good movie. Plus, it's a kid movie right? I go in for kid movies these days. I don't take "serious" movies very seriously anymore.

Nope, both are two different fantasy writers with both very different writing styles. Neil Gaiman wrote Stardust, and other books you may know like American Gods and Coraline. Of Garth Nix I only know Sabriel and the other books of the Old Kingdom Trilogy. (They're quite good, I thought.)

Yup, they are nice. The sort of story was IMHO not that different though. If I remember correctly there were more stories with this Wall between two worlds.
Hector, I have Stardust, do you have it too?
