    Like most books-turned-movies, I don't anticipate too much. However, Golden Compass was a pretty awesome book, so I hope they stick to the story.


    EDIT: Alrighty, that was pretty good for a prefinished trailer. I was impressed by the choice of Nicole Kidman as Ms. Coultier, she seems like a good villain. Also, the Daemon effects were pretty nice.

    I anticipate good things.

    Daniel Craig doesn't have the right eyes for Lord Asriel, but I think he has the right voice.

    I started re-reading my old, tattered copy of this book a few days ago. I forgot how slow the first part is, before they go North. I remember the story getting a lot better once they head North, especially in the next two books.

    I tried to remember the Amber Spyglass, and kept mixing in parts of Wolf Star and Ender's Game. O-o

    All I can remember is those animals that have wheels on their legs, and the hot scientist chick who visits their universe. And Purgatory, of course.
