Just a quick note to say how happy I am to see what I call modern fantasy becoming less niche this summer. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which Tim Burton helmed, did quite well, and the King Kong trailer is stirring up quite a storm online and off. This was an area that for years only small almost unknown players like Terry Gilliam occupied, but Burton joined in during the 90’s, and Peter Jackson gave us the Lord of the Rings trilogy over the last half decade.

Wonderful.

Oh, what’s that image? That’s the real town of Sleepy Hollow in upstate NY as seen on Google Maps.
