T and I went to watch Stardust on Saturday. It’s not a very widely publicized show, but it’s based on a book by Neil Gaiman, and has actors like Michelle Pfeiffer, Robert de Niro, and Claire Danes, so I thought it might be worth seeing. We had free vouchers from my company, and since there was nothing else I wanted to watch, I picked that show. I tried to book shows using the TGV website on Thursday, but they only had showtimes until Friday. On Friday, I checked again, and still, they only had shows until that night! See, this is why I normally buy tickets outright, and normally from GSC. Anyway, on Saturday morning, I managed to book two tickets for the afternoon show.
We went to the gold class counter to pick up the tickets, and I told the lady our reservation number. She entered it, and it came up with ‘No Reservation Found’. Oh oh…I thought, “Stupid System!”. She tried entering it again, and then she looked at me. “This is reservation for TGV.” I thought to myself, “Yeah, and…??” Then it dawned on me, we were at the GSC counter. Hehe…*blush*.
Anyway, we got ourselves over to TGV, and we decided to go in early. Sat down in the cinema, and it was so empty! Maybe about twenty people in total. After all the adverts, the show started…and it was ‘The Last Legion’! Turns out we had the wrong cinema as well. I guess it just wasn’t our day.
We finally got into the right cinema, and we had missed maybe 10 minutes of the start. But overall, I think it was an awesome show! I don’t want to spoil it for you, but if you insist on spoiling it yourself, Wiki’s got the plot of Stardust pretty much covered. Also, for the ladies, the main actor, Charlie Cox is pretty cute! In the beginning, he didn’t really catch my attention, in fact, I thought he was rather geeky with a good-boy look. But midway through the movie, he gets a ‘makeover’ and then I started to think he was pretty cute!
I walked out of the cinema feeling pretty satisfied with the movie, and wondering if I should start reading Neil Gaiman books. I did try to read one last time, but somehow, I never got into it. If anyone has any opinions on which one I should try, drop me a comment!

I LOVE the movie so much that I watched it twice! I like the music, the special effects, and the actors are superb. Nothing could be better!
As for which book by Neil Gaiman to start off with, why not just read Stardust first? That’s what I plan to do real soon.
