You just reminded me how excited I am for Gaiman's How to talk to girls at parties movie to come out this summer.

A short story he wrote about an alien girl who learns about punk through a boy. I saw the trailer but it hasn't been released yet so I can't share it and it's killing me because I want to rope everyone in coming to see it.

"But there was no reasoning with it, and I came to world. Parent-teacher engulfed me, and I was here, embodied in a decaying lump of meat hanging on a frame of calcium. As I incarnated I felt things deep inside me, fluttering and pumping and squishing. It was my first experience with pushing air through the mouth, vibrating the vocal cords on the way, and I used it to tell parent-teacher that I wished that I would die, which it acknowledged was the inevitable exit strategy from world."

There were black worry beads wrapped around her wrist, and she fiddled with them as she spoke. "But knowledge is there, in the meat," she said, "and I am resolved to learn from it."

I really liked that part. I liked it even more when I reread it to highlight it.

I wonder what line Vic crossed upstairs.

So they made a movie out of it?

Yep tossed in some of Gaiman's personal stories about being a kid in punk scenes back in the day and boom, awesome movie plot.

That is. With Gaiman's fan base I'm susprised it hasn't been hyped more. Isn't another of his books getting a tv show this year?
