Aw, Gaiman, why you gotta play like that?
Neil Gaiman is scripting the James Cameron-assisted movie version of Journey to the West.

I feel really kinda queasy about this. There are no few Asian writers for whom this story came with their milk teeth, like Cinderella does to an English-speaker, and Gaiman has been...bad...about stuff relating to other cultures before. I really doubt that having been for a visit to China is enough to justify his treatment of the script.

(And let's not talk about James Cameron. Ick.)

Mercredigirl over at Dreamwidth has more to say.

:3 Maaayyyybeeeeee.

By which of course I mean, good god, do you have any idea how much a second-hand DVD box set costs over here, because it's a LOT, but I do not care and I bought it anyway. It also has the best box of any DVD set ever. It is, of course, unsubtitled, but I could probably be convinced to give a running translation. And also you are going to love the last episode so hard because it's the best thing ever.
