Got mine chopped last week and ahhhhh. I do love the weight off my shoulders.
But because it was a Rather Drastic Change (I went from shoulder-length to just-below-the-chin) I called a salon I trust and asked for one of their senior girls. And she did an excellent job. I also had her dry and style it so she could see it dry, which resulted in a few important touch-ups.
I really adored Coraline, but part of that is having tracked the progress of some of the staff over the years, and the repressed cheerleader in me was rooting for them. I think the animation is what sells it for me. It truly is a wonderful movie to behold.
The story, though -- honestly, at times I felt like I was watching a film version of Psychonauts or any other adventure game where you need to collect three McGuffins before the boss will fight you. It was still a good story, just not supergreatawesomewow. I think it was probably a better story for younger people than jaded adults :)
