This is a completely pointless post other than for squeeing. XD Because a couple folks on my flist have posted a Golden Compass meme for getting your own daemon, and I'm all, what? And yaaaaaaay there's gonna be a movie OMG. I love the "His Dark Materials" series, and the trailer looks gorgeous. The CG's a little interesting but I totally squealed when I saw Iorek Byrnison cross the screen, hehehe. I hope hope hope the film doesn't butcher the books, but it looks good. Wow Nicole Kidman looks perfect for Mrs. Coulter, and Serafina Pekkala eeeeeee she's so pretty and she *flies*. Saw some concept art and immediately identified it as the river by Oxford where the Gypsies moor their houseboats and that's a good sign, hee. And there's an alethiometer on the movie website to play with! Eeeeeeeeee....

That's all. ^_^ I read the first two books when I first got into fantasy novels in middle school, and the third book was nowhere near being done at that point, and in fact I didn't read The Amber Spyglass until last year, but it was amazing and heart breaking and philosophically crazy and the end just...broke me. In a good way. ^^ Yeah, in terms of good British young adult/children's literature, this series blows HP away, completely out of the water, hehe. Blasphemy, I know. XD Read it! The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass. *pimppimp*
