Loved the book. Really looking forward to the movie.

Didn't know there was a sequel. I'll check it out.

Saw the trailer yesterday and was intrigued.

It's been awhile since I read it too, but it seems the movie is going a different direction than the books did. IIRC the books were about an adult looking for information about his dad's past (similar to Big Fish or that's how I remember feeling about it at the time). This looks like it might shown from his dad's point of view.

I don't know how I feel about that, but since I can't really remember the book that well it probably won't matter.

That looks pretty good.

I wonder what roles Johnny Depp and Helen Bonham Carter will play?

I caught this on HBO last night. A damned good movie with the typical Burton weirdness, but a great story. Of course, all I could think about was Eva Green's tits.

That said, the trailer could definitely mislead some parents into taking younger kids to see what was a very harrowing film (which would be damned scary to young children).

Highly recommend.

Just finished watching this and it was great. It should have been more popular. Samuel L Jackson was so creepy with the white eyes and dagger teeth.

I enjoyed the book series. However, it looks like they are including some children at the school the show up later in the book. Not sure how many other liberties they take in the movie.
