I went to see Stardust last night. I’d originally planned on seeing Josh Groban at the Rose Garden Arena, but the cheapest tickets I could find were 60 bucks in the worst part of the acoustic section of the Coliseum. Scalper tickets were netting 200$ and although I think Josh Groban is totally worth 200$, I went instead to see Stardust.
It’s adorable. Evidently, what I didn’t know was that it’s also a date movie so I was the only single person there. I walked out happy and a little in love with the idea of bottled lightning and the fanciful adventure of true love.
Crawling in to bed last night, I admitted to myself, for perhaps the first time in at least two and a half years – I miss being in love.
I know, Sondra, I said it, I miss being in love. I was good at it.
Drifting off to sleep I hoped for a dream that would immerse me in some fantastical land of myth and magic and oh, maybe Jackles, so I could dream of love…
But somehow, I landed in a dream with Dan Aykroyd and F16 fighter jet and a remake dream of Top Gun wherein Dan Aykroyd sang Bette Midler’s version of ‘The Rose’.
Go figure. I knew I was rusty at this fantasize about love thing, but I had no idea I was that rusty.

I dug it a lot. Especially Captain Shakespeare, and the brothers hanging around and making commnents. I’ve been meaning to dig the book out again to see if he’s written the same way, or if that was just in the movie. It’s been so long, I can’t remember.
Amusingly, I saw it in Portland.
Hi Logan,
Welcome to the BlissQuest!
I adored- absolutely ADORED, Capt. Shakespeare! I will have to go read the book now as well.
That’s funny that you saw it while you were here. Did you all go with Mongonoodle’s group?
Yep. We got back to the house, and it was decided that that would be the plan. I voted for more DDR time, but Karen was feeling kinda tired, and I was over ruled
Sounds like the nightmare version of TopGun. The ’studio budget’ version.
I am so jealous. I haven’t seen Stardust yet. Neil Gaiman is my very favorite author ever, he’s amazing. Good as I’ve heard the movie is, my vague memory of the book tells me it was probably just as good, if not better.
I highly recommend it, or American Gods, or Fragile Things or…yeah anything with his name on it
“No!!! Don’t make me kiss Dan Akryod!!! Ahhhh!!!”
Argentum,
The really scarey thing was that in dream-logic Dan Akryod was looking hot!
That dream….well..it FREAKIN ROCKS!!!… the only way it could have been better is if Dan were in his Ghostbusting uniform…man that would be awesome….Ghosthunting in a freakin tomcat….you get all the good dreams…last night i had a dream that i ripped off my face and was someone else underneath…then decaipitated some guy….Granted, thats not a bad dream, but a Proton pack and a fighter jet would have made it better
Neutron Particle Accelerator Pack
