Mirrormask

Mirrormask was quite excellent and visually stunning, so I’ve definitely got no regrets
about passing up seeing Serenity on opening night to see Dave & Neil’s movie instead.
I’ll try to get an actual review posted over at Of Two Minds by the end of the weekend.

Plus, I figured Serenity already had more than enough Browncoats coming out to show
their support, while Mirrormask needed (and still needs) a strong opening weekend to
even get past its currently limited release. A big smack upside the head for the
executive at Sony who decided that opening Mirrormask opposite Joss’ baby was
a good idea. The audiences aren’t identical, but I’m sure there’s quite a bit of overlap.
If you’ve already done your Browncoat duty this weekend, and you’re a fan of Neil
Gaiman’s writing and/or Dave McKean’s art, and you’re lucky enough to live in or near
one of the cities where Mirrormask is currently playing, take the time to go see it.
You’ll be glad you did.

And yes, I do plan on seeing the full version of Serenity at some point too.
