Random Roundup

Neil Gaiman's report from L.A. and San Diego. Mirrormask will be out in January - they did a test screening on Thursday:

"That was like Jean Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast... on acid... for kids..." said one slightly stunned exec at the end of it. My heart was warmed by the DVD extra-material ladies in the row in front of me, who didn't know what to expect, laughing at all the funny stuff.


Fluxblog recorded Fiery Furnaces's Eleanor's recent NYC radio show and puts a cut up here.

Playdates for the director's cut of Donnie Darko here... Newmarket Films here.

do you think he meant the Beauty on acid or the Beast? Or maybe Cocteu himself? The thing is, I saw that film on acid and i can't imagine it was anything like Mirrormask, unless Neil Gaiman's gonna add in some egg whites, a tub of rail grease and a small Goth guy called Colin pretending to be a vulture...

i guess he might...

I've been trying to come up with a witty comeback to that one but I just can't, you know... You get the Vinyl Mine award for best comment of July. Congrats. Awards can be picked up in the alley behind Sal Gabor's house.
