Weitz said he would not be "dumbing down" the books for the sake of mass accessibility

Good, last I heard they were taking any references to God out of it because it might be considered blasphemes<sp>

Fantastic books, hope the film is as good.

Also - Nicole Kidman . . . and Eva Green, apparently.

Goo !

Though they did change the name to "the golden compass"

someone who saw the cover but didn't read the book

That was what the book was called in the U.S.

Makes sense as potentially most of the sales will be in the U.S.

I saw ~~Golden Compass~~ Norther Lights on Friday.
Having read the books it was ofc a little disappointing (as all movies are compared to the books). That said, it was very well done and I still recommend it and I hope they make the other 2.

It's a bit of a paradox really; the book has been cut down so much that the story is difficult to follow if you haven't read the book first, but if you have read the book you will be disappointed at the amount cut out!
Still, it's no worse that the potter films in this respect.

XXXXX - It's no LOTR, but it probably cost a lot less.

P.S. I'm not surprised the yanks didn't like it much, as the trilogy dares to breach the subject of the church and its power.

I'm guessing Ian and Vicky will have lots to do in the new house . . .

I'd go but tonight's the only night this week my Dad can come round to assist me with the grouting in the bathroom- I F*cking hate grouting !
(and once that is done I can fit the new toilet

)

I'll see what Dan & Ewka wanna do but might put this off to the new year then.

As Samantha says, the ~~little scrotes~~ kids are off this week.
