Stardust was brilliant: it finally reminded me that there are some fantasy films out there which don't employ the usual dwarf/elf/human/mage/zzzz..... ensemble. I'd forgotten about his name being Tristan! Don't tell me that the fallen star is called Isolde. (Excuse me while I beat Reinhard Heydrich over the head. He doesn't like me imagining him as Tristan. It can't just be his lack of fencing skills...) The ghosts of the princes amused me to no end.

I never considered Hellstrom being Landa's son. I think I became distracted by the Hellstrom incest!fic featuring Mads Mikkelsen as Hellstrom's father. The father-son scenario would certainly put a different spin on Landa's investigations in the post-shootout scene (and in my mind leads to some convoluted revenge plot several years later, undoubtedly involving Stiglitz and handcuffs).
