Oh yeah... not to mention he's a gay lightning collecting sky captain, and yes I'm serious. All in all 8/10 .

Actually i've got movie, but i've only managed to get through half of it. Not my cup of tea either. Well, neither was the book actually.
Although there was 1 sentence in Stardust (the book) that i found very poetic and very Gaimanish. Let me see if i can find it.....
Right, here it is.
" A fieldmouse found a fallen hazelnut and began to bite into the hard shell of the nut with its sharp, ever-growing front teeth, not because it was hungry, but because it was a prince under an enchantment who could not regain his outer form until he chewed the Nut of Wisdom. But its excitement made it careless, and only the shadow that blotted out the moonlight warned it of the descent of a huge grey owl, who caught the mouse in its sharp talons and rose again into the night.
The mouse dropped the nut, which fell into the brook and was carried away, to be swallowed by a salmon. The owl swal*lowed the mouse in just a couple of gulps, leaving just its tail trailing from her mouth, like a length of bootlace. Something snuffled and grunted as it pushed through the thicket—a badger, thought the owl (herself under a curse, and only able to resume her rightful shape if she consumed a mouse who had eaten the Nut of Wisdom), or perhaps a small bear."
