MirrorMask

I remember writing about the trailer for this film, and then managing to miss it completely at the cinema. I bought it on DVD, and tonight was finally the right night to watch it.
This stood out:

Just crashes one second in for me. What is it? Where can I get? Tom want media!

Your set up can’t handle YouTube? You have my sympathies.
The film is Mirrormask, a Dave Mckean/Neil Gaiman collaboration with Henson. Some thoughtful person has uploaded the whole damn thing to Google Video, but I have no idea as to what point in the film this clip occurs. This is the link:

It will take a long time to load. You could buy the DVD instead.

Why is it that my upload of a five year old Comic Relief sketch that no one remembers gets removed from Google Video and YouTube within minutes, but entire films and TV shows get left alone?

Nobody watches Google Video. That’s likely the difference.
And besides, as I pointed out previously, the BBC seem very proactive WRT protecting their rghts, even over minor matters.

I wish that had been a clip involving Andy Hamilton off Old Harry’s Game. He is the only reason I want to see the film.
And Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean blah blah blah.

I watched this last night off of pay per view. Couldn’t help comparing it to Labyrinth and thinking Mirrormask was a bit too broken up and disjointed. It was a bit too realistically ‘dreamlike’ in the sense that tenuous transitions were all jarring and hard to follow.
