Long-distance dating


Last night, Ryan and I went on a date. He saw Stardust at 3:30 PT and I saw it at 6:30 ET, and we spoke on the phone after the credits rolled. It was a lovely date, though absent the yawn-stretch-put-his-arm-around-me move that may or may not have accompanied a similar date that found us in the same theater. We both enjoy Neil Gaiman's storytelling, and "Stardust" lives up to Mr. Gaiman's talents. The movie has gotten mixed reviews, with criticism of Claire Danes' casting (one reviewer said she was too cranky) and of Robert DeNiro's cross-dressing pirate, but honestly, I loved it. It was fun and suspenseful and sweet. Well worth the $8.
