I think I will officially declare STARDUST as my most favorite movie this year! ....or maybe even my favorite movie EVER! Dare I trump Stardust over Batman Begins? Let me contemplate for a few more days... XD

How sad is the Indonesian cinema really?! I've so been waiting for it since I saw previews for it on E!Channel but it never arrived to Indonesian cinemas and I ended up watching it on the inflight movies of SINGAPORE AIRLINES during my flight to and from Singapore this weekend! WTF?! Seriously!!! I watched the first half flying from Jakarta to Singapore, and the second half on my return flight! And NO, THE TEENY TINY KRISWORLD SCREEN ON THE BACK OF A PASSENGER SEAT DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE BEAUTY OF THIS FILM SO I WILL MARCH MYSELF TO THE CINEMAS SOMETIME THIS WEEK (apparently Stardust FINALLY arrived in Indonesian cinema last week) AND WATCH IT AT LEAST 6 MORE TIMES OR SOMETHING!!!!

And I just went to Aki's site and saw that SHE LOVED IT TOO! *squee* I agree with what she said, I don't give a crap's a$$ about what the reviewers say about it, I just know that I LOVE IT TO DEATH!!! It's such a wonderful fairytale, and I'm such a sucker for fairytales... especially since this one has it all: an enchanted kingdom, evil evil witches, an enchanted objects (the STAR, the Babylon candle), A GAY PIRATE CAPTAIN (OMG!), a common boy who turns out to be of long lost royal bloodline... hell, they even have unicorns!!! AND IT'S ALL ABOUT TRUE LOVE! Isn't that what fairytales are always about? But it's not like some sappy fairytale, I especially love how witty it is, it's almost like, it's a blend between a classic fairytale and the modern day sarcastic dysfunctionality! Such as Captain Shakespeare... WTF! I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!!!!!!! XD XD XD I almost LOLed to death on the plane when he revealed his ahem... "CLOSETED" CLOSET XD And Ricky Gervais... OMG... why the heck are every single one of his roles that I've ever seen are all annoyingly funny? XD He cracks me up!

I love love love how every detail of this movie is soooo... fantasy magical. Like, having a dying king send his remaining sons (who haven't killed each other yet) on a quest to retrieve a stone that will determine who shall be king, having a star take form of a young woman, and that the heart of a star could give eternal life to those who possess it, and when one of the princes was slain, it was shown that he literally has a blue-colored blood! In a way it's a very cliche fairytale, but told in a way that I've never seen before. Seriously... this story is so enchanting, I can't stop talking about it! I will recite it to my children (when I do have children, that is! ...or basically, ANY CHILDREN!!!) Speaking of which, I'm still not sure how I will explain a cross-dressing gay pirate captain to little children but OH WHATEVER! XD And the guy who played Tristan Thorne is such a cutie! Somehow, he reminds me so much of a very young-looking TOM WELLING! THUD! I think they have the same puppy eyes... ahhh he's just all too cute and so wholesome, I love Tristan! ESPECIALLY after Capt Shakespeare transformed him into such a well-dressed royal-looking young lad (but still nevertheless dorky) XD Ahhh I guess I do still love Tom Welling (despite he's gotten a little bit FAT now LOLOLOL XD)

And although I just don't like Claire Danes in general, but I have to say that she did a pretty good job as Yvaine... she does, in a way, have that glowing innocence of an enchanted being kind of look... so yeah no complaints there

I really think that I'm gonna watch this at least 5 more times! Ahhh it's the little girl in me who loves fairytales so much who wants to see it THAT MANY TIMES! XD
