His Dark Materials

[maderr]

Conned Sarah into buying the trilogy, and have started reading them again.

Still totally, utterly, completely in love with this series. Oh man, if they ruin the movie you are going to hear my screams of rage all the way in Japan. There will be war.

I got more of those "you've been dipping into the crack jar again, haven't you?" looks from my coworkers because I started raving about what, to me, is one of the coolest characters, one of the coolest aspects of the whole series:

The armored bears. SO COOL. I love them. Will be bouncing in my seat in the theatre just to see them. I was more excited than even Lyra the first time I read this book, and I'm just as excited now reading it for the second time.

I command everyone to read this trilogy. The Golden Compass (Called The Northern Lights everywhere but the US I think), The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass.

That is my fangirling for the morning. Will probably slack off at work making the changes to Statue when Ki-chan sends them my way, and right now I am going to see if I can figure out a title for my Pied Piper rewrite. Though Prisoner is poking at me again as well.

Ah, I'm sorry, but I might not be able to properly beta until tomorrow evening... x_X;;; Kind of brain dead now.

Um, I'll try? ^^;;;;;

Nah, tomorrow's fine. At your leisure, babe. ^_~

A "Pied Piper" slash fic? Why do jokes about playing his "magic flute" come to mind?

[maderr.livejournal.com]

I cannot imagine why you would think of such a joke.

Oh! When does the movie come out? *knaws on fingernails in anxiety* It's like how I felt with LotR. If they ruined it, I would kill.

And they didn't! ^___^

The movie is plagued with problems - namely that the production company (right term?) wants to make it more PC. Meaning, they want to strip the religion from it - which means getting rid of, oh, ninety percent of the book.

And apparently the director quit. They've yet to announce a new one.

I really wish this would be as awesome as LotR. *keeps fingers crossed*

They're making movies for those books????? Seriously? O_O

Please help me out here - when are they coming out? When can I go see them?

I forgot they were making a movie out of them! I can't wait to see the daemons(i think that's how they spell it in the books)! They were my favorites.

I have more fear in my heart for this movie than for even LotR. So. Much. Fear. Because I love His Dark Materials. Adore it. Oh, oh, oh, I hope it turns out to be at least bearable!

Speaking of bears, I LOVE THE ARMORED BEARS!!! *squees a little bit*

Oh, man. Now I have to reread the trilogy, since I haven't read it in years. Oh, wow.

XD... The trilogy is on my read-again list, but I still need to get around to it. Will do so some time... in the future. Give me ten years.

"The Northern Lights" <-- What title is that? I've never heard of that title. O.o Why would they call a book by a different title? *ish confuzzled*
