Redeux

I just saw Mirrormask for the second time. It continues to be cool as hell, though occasionally colored too sepia-tone for my eyes to be happy with.

There are a few scenes that have some wonderful drawings (pronounced "drawerings") by Dave McKean plastered over a wall - beautifully covering floor to ceiling. The drawings are quickly torn from the wall and crumbled up, some even burnt, by one of the main characters. It occurred to me that this is a great pity, if it's not a bit of camera trickery, that is, because the drawings are, as I said, wonderful and beautiful, and in fact so plentiful that if someone were to, say, sell them on e-bay or some such I could concievably buy one. And it'd be cool to own an original bit of Dave McKean scribbled ink work.

The theater in which I just saw Mirrormask is also the theater in which I saw Kamikaze Girls (do check out that site - it's exhaustive!). Sadly, while the theater's still showing the first, the later was but a limited, one-week run, which means I'll have to wait to see it again until it comes out on video. This makes me sad.
