It's a pity to hear that about "Lady in the Water". I stood up in a
bookstore and read the child picture book that he wrote with the
original tale as he told it to his kids. It's charming. Perhaps he
should have filmed that, a'la "Corpse Bride".

Yeah, I mentioned that I finally got a chance to see it on DVD a few
weeks ago. I loved it. In my case, it came out during Katrina and no
theatres were open down here. Even though I lost some favorite
characters, I appreciated that no characters were "safe". I can't
