We finally watched The Golden Compass. I don't understand why people seem to hate it so much. I loved the books, and thought the movie was perfectly entertaining: non-stop action with no draggy bits, groovy dirigibles, suitably cute daemons animated just fine, better-than competent and charismatic child acting, creepy Nicole Kidman, faithful to the dark scary stuff in the books, faithful to the kid-like P.O.V. of Lyra/Pan. The only complaint I had was that Ian McKellen was mis-cast as the Gandalf voice for Iorek Byrnison. That bear shoulda been less of a sage and more of a roust-a-bout. Otherwise, it was fun and I wish they were going to make the rest of the trilogy. Also, the website has a quiz you can fill out to get a daemon assigned (click on "daemons"). Mine is an osprey. If I was 8 again I would be in heaven.
