Game Over

Holy! Turned out that LAIKA, the animation studio producing the movie version of Neil Gaiman's Coraline, is owned by Nike chairman and co-founder Philip H. Knight. Now, people have a chance to win a pair of Coraline-inspired Nike Dunks by going on some sort of scavenger hunt while they are watching the movie or browsing the official website.

To quote the man himself. "There will, however, be a limited edition of 1000 pairs of Coraline Nike Dunks, winnable from watching the film and through the website, though, and they will look like this, with black buttons and stitching and such..."



Just my luck! I am so bad with these kind of games. Hook me up, anybody??

New Neil Gaiman

"I said
she's gone
but I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm coming in the graveyard
to sing you to sleep now"
- Tori Amos, "Graveyard"

Just got the new Neil Gaiman book, The Graveyard Book. Picked it up from National Bookstore Robinson's Galleria for Php315. They only had one copy left. My take is that it has been out locally for quite some time now. Powerbooks Shangri-la Mall did not have any more copies, so is the NB there. Man, I am really out of the loop. I did not even know Neil came out with a new book.

I also just found out that Coraline is already a movie. I saw a "Movie Collector's Edition" of the book. Now, that is a film I am looking forward to seeing. If you loved MirrorMask, I am certain Coraline is going to be better. The director is the same guy who directed The Nightmare Before Christmas, Henry Selick.
