Tristan: You sort of, glitter now. Is that normal?
Yvaine: Lets see if you can work it out for youself. What do stars do?
Tristan: Hmm... Attract trouble?

Catch A Falling Star
If you ever get a chance to watch the movie Stardust, I highly recommend it.

The movie is based off of the book from Neil Gaiman and directed by Matthew Vaughn, who also directed Layer Cake and produced Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels.

Not only is the movie really good, but despite the low amount of advertising, there were alot of talent in it.

Some of the more well known names in the US are Claire Danes, Robert DeNiro, Michelle Pfiffer, Peter O'Toole, and Ian McKellen.

But there were a ton of notable British actors:
* Sienna Miller (Layer Cake, Keen Eddie)
* Rupert Everett (Shrek 2 & 3)
* Julian Rhind-Tutt (Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, Keen Eddie)
* Adam Fogerty (Snatch)
* Jason Flemyng (Layer Cake, Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels)
* Sarah Alexander (Coupling)
* Ricky Gervais (The Office, Extras)
* Struan Rodger (Doctor Who)
* David Kelly (Charlie and The Chocolate Factory)
* Dexter Fletcher (Band of Brothers, Layer Cake, Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels)

Hmm.. Noticing a theme here. Then again, the fact I recognized so many of these people only proves that I have no life whatsoever.

Here is the most excellent song played during the credits.

Rule The World by Take That
