one of my favorite writers is neil gaiman... he has written in a dizzying number of genres and formats: fantasy, horror, nonfiction, novels, short stories, screenplays, poetry, picture books, comic books, graphic novels, and song lyrics. astoundingly, he has met critical and popular success in everything he tries. The Dictionary of Literary Biography cites him as one of the world's top ten living post-modernists, and he has earned scores of awards.  gaiman’s characters are memorable and griping and although he is known for dark, complex storylines, he also peppers his work with literary and cultural references and British humor. so how happy am i that stardust is going to be released in august as a movie! (and i use exclamation points very rarely, as they're so overdone) starring  Claire Danes, Charlie Cox, Sienna Miller, Ricky Gervais, Jason Flemyng, Peter O’Toole, with Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert De Niro . visit the site, parts are still under contstruction, but it's brilliant nonetheless.
