So I’m watching the Golden Compass and man, oh, man, it’s pretty but they made this really for only for people who had read the book.  The cast is GREAT!  And not just for my beloved Daniel Graig, but Ian McShane, Sam Elliot and especially Eva Green as the witch queen.  She should ALWAYS play roles like that.  Oh yeah.  Also Ian McKellen, Christopher Lee and Derek Jacobi!  HURRAH!

Now if if only life was as neatly and happily resolved as movies are, then everything would be perfect.
