Chocolate Snowflake took me to the movies the other night to see a flick I have been raving about called ‘Coraline’. It is based on a story written by NAIL GAIMAN [ll]. It focuses on a plucky little girl who finds herself in a serious fix and she has to use her wits and her courage to get herself out of trouble.
The movie is filmed in stop-motion claymation animation similar to the Rudolf Christmas stories and countless other features using the technique. The film is fun, adventurous and scary all at the same time and sometimes in the same scenes. If you are taking a child with you I would suggest the 8yrs old up to 12 y.o. demographic. They are old enough to handle some of the frightful scenes and young adult themes that are being conveyed.
The real reason that I brought C.S. was so that she could help me figure out how to win these exclusive Nike Dunks that are being offered at the Coraline website. Nike has limited the giveaway to only 1000 pairs so for all I know they may have already dispensed them out to lucky people. They had me the second I saw the box they were being issued in.
Hand-stitching. Decorative lace-stays. What appears to be some serious materials on the uppers. These joints are the sickest Dunks to drop in a long while. Word on the street is that they are already being offered for more than $500 a pair from some of the re-sellers on the web.
The moral of ‘Coraline’ is to be careful what you ask for because it might not be worth having it once you got it. I do want these Dunks though.
Just not enough to replace my eyes with buttons.
I know some one who has a pair of 13’s for sale…. (No 12’s)
Neil Gaiman is my fave comic book writer of all time. His Batman comic is currently on newstands.
I am probably taking lil man (the elder) to see this over the weekend. Thanks for the review!
Definitely for the mantle.
Also, I like the new slogan for DP.com.
I was telling my girl Coraline looks better then everything else out.
yo dallas,
did you stay till the credits cuz after the credits they show a clue or tip whatever to see how to win the dunks from the site…..also I can refer you to someone thats selling a 9, 10, 11, 13
^wonders if Paul knows the same connect that I know….
Word Is Bawn! I just got back from the show(they call the movies “the show” in the Chi – that sh*t always cracks me the f*ck up!)checking out Coraline. Had I not done that, these kicks would just not made sense to me, ‘specially since I’m not the biggest Dunk-head. Knowing what I know now, these are definitely firestarters!
This animation piece is a little too macabre for kids, but it’s definitely a go for grown folk. This was the 1st 3D joint I’ve ever seen on the big screen, and it did not dissapoint.
…of course I resorted to theivery and copped 3 pairs of the Ltd. Edition Coraline 3D Wayfarers! simply because the mean broad @ the guest services desk gave me an emphatically-now-cipher for 1 extra pair. 2 for the books, the other pair I may just splash on ATL bars next week…blurred vision and all, B!
^ DirtyJerz,
Bring your Coraline glasses because I got mine with me too. Them shits make everything look better.
