After driving a handful of servers mad at Denny's, a hefty group of friends (Turtles, Elaine, JC, young Brendan, ManderMan, Chuckles, Tyres, Lobster Girl, Dom, and I don't remember who else) and I went our separate ways, and I went back home to Charles to fetch him so we could go to the midnight showing of Coraline in 3D !
It is very different from the book, but of course, is faithful where it is important. They added a character, which I thought was weird at first, but grew to really like. Mr. Bobo and the disappearing rat (under the hat) trick were omitted. Well, not omitted, really, just changed. His name was changed to Bobinsky, which I didn't mind. I LOVED LOVED LOVED that the Other Father's song was performed by They Might Be Giants!!! Also, I love the Other Father.

Aside from the part where the theatre light's went on right when Coraline discovered the secret passage in the door, and stayed on for a good five minutes (!!!!!), it was a fantastic movie experience! The midnight showing ensured that there would be minimum kids surrounding us, and in fact, there weren't that many people there at all. One weird thing, though... they didn't scroll the cast in the closing credits. Odd. If you go to see it in 3D, stay til the very end. The effect of the part after the credits is beautiful.
