Seriously, ya'll. If you're a fan of Neil Gaiman or Tim Burton, or anything resembling a dark fairy tale, watch the movie. Don't walk. RUN. Run to the theater and ignore your piss-poor 401K, and indulge in the nonsensical. Is that a word? I dunno. If you need a break from reality, go to the movies. That's what I do.
Also, if you're a knitter, knit some Coraline gloves. Pattern here.
C'est les shit. Or, in other words, VERY COOL.
