Is this related to the new "from the director of the nightmare before xmas" movie?

(I mean it's TIM BURTON! TIM BURTON! Do the public (IE us) have such short memories that we will remember the film but not the director!! actually don't answer that cos the answer is depressing)

Actually, Henry Selick directed Nightmare Before Christmas... which is why they're not naming Tim Burton. His name is on NBC since he wrote the story, but a lot of the visuals/animation/flavor of the movie actually came from Selick. Sadly, he's not often remembered/attributed as such.

Zing!

I had a go at the game, and found thirty seconds of loading Flash between sixty second bursts of game play to be so annoying that I gave up before the third level. Does it get less irritating?

Oh.

That explains it then.

I'm off to find something else to innaccuratly rant about now :(

[andrewducker]

Not actually played it - merely looked at the footage in the video. I assumed the game wasn't actually available yet...

It is: it's very flashy. There was a post about it on BoingBoing's gaming blog a couple of days ago.

Find something to accurately rant about, it's more fun. :D

You've just reminded me that I'm going to see Henry Selick (and Neil Gaiman) talk about Coraline before too long. Yaaaaay!

[andrewducker]

I'm terribly envious!

I played it for 20 minutes yesterday, and it's a poor game. Looks great. But the gameplay isn't exceedingly ordinary.

Maybe they'll come north at some point to do something..

I'll stick to having enjoyed the video then :->
