    I read the first couple of Pullman’s “His Dark Materials” when I was in college, and enjoyed them very much.

    New Line is producing it and if they show the same kind of attention to detail for this one as they did for “Lord of the Rings,” then this should be an excellent adaptation. The trailer is promising but they usually are.

    Guess I’ll find out in December.

        Oddly enough that’s one of the few books I’ve read that I couldn’t get into. I’m afraid I didn’t even finish it. But, I do plan to see the movie. πŸ™‚

          Hopefully after you see the movie you’ll want to finish the book.

          I would help but I am just to tired to get out of bed today~

              I hope I feel like reading it again after watching the movie. I’m not really sure why I didn’t like it. I suppose it could’ve been that it just didn’t suit my mood at the time. My best friend loves the whole series. She and I usually like the same books. πŸ˜•

              I really liked the first book in the trilogy but ended up slogging through the third. I only finished it just to finish the trilogy. I was very disappointed – I thought The Golden Compress was very good, the second one was so-so and the third was a total let down. πŸ˜₯

              I never actually finished the series. I think I just got too bogged down in last year college stuff and never got back to it. I can’t decide whether I want to reread the books now or wait until I watch the movies. I do know that the trailer gave me goose bumps. So many great actors. 8)

              You took the words RIGHT OUT OF MY MOUTH. The day I found out there was going to be a movie I very nearly died.

              Soooo…..I guess you like the books? πŸ˜‰

              Honestly I’m impressed at the caliber of actors they’ve obtained for this film. Daniel Craig and Nicole Kidman and such. And it looks like Kidman will be playing a villan. Which I find extremely interesting.

              Can’t wait to see it.

                  I saw the trailer before Harry Potter a few days ago. It looked really neat. I’m definitely going to watch it.

                  Dang… I didn’t see the trailer before Harry Potter or Transformers–stupid theater. I was hoping to see it on the big screen. Oh well, at least there’s youtube!
