what is the thing that makes me most jealous nowadays? check out coraline; the incredible stop-motion feature that gets stop motion to another... height? you know i'm quite crazy about stop-motion...i am even jealous about the super cool website. the film doesn't seem quite suitable for children, but it has a strange extra meaning for me:
when i was a small kid, i could spend ridiculous amounts of time just looking at things. i used to stare at the world atlas for hours, literally, just to imagine about being in a specific country. i was just memorizing the political maps which gave no information about the countries except for maybe the capital city and a bunch of smaller cities. oh and their block colors that meant nothing for the mappers but to distinguish one country from another.
well, another strange thing that i spent hours examining was my mother's button collection. she didn't collect them as a hobby, of course. they just accumulated over years in a plastic bag as spare buttons for sofas, shirts, skirts, trousers, jackets... so they were quite a sight to look at. i would sit down on the carpet and check their sizes, colors, textures, their sewing details... i would dream about this small pearlish pink one, then about that big green velvety one with a hole underneath... is that freakish?
anyway, the coraline movie is quite obsessed about buttons, too. which makes me feel happy in a weird way because i see i was not the only one;)
hope the movie arrives here soon!!
