    i need to re-read the books because i haven't read them for a while, and i think i was too young to really take anything in

    i do remember crying like a small schoolgirl in the subtle knife
    when lee scoresby is killed and he clutches at his little daemon as he dies

    i am talking like proper crying

    I thought the saddest part in the series was
    When Lyra found all the bottled daemons in the arctic base in the first book.

    Honestly, the books were good and I enjoyed them but I'm not sure they'll translate to good films. I guess we'll see.

    I know that The Golden Compass will translate into a fucking awesome movie so long as they don't shy away from the fact that the church is straight up evil.

    I'm reading the first book right now. I totally hadn't gotten to the part where it is revealed that the church is evil. Luckily, rl filled in the gaps for me there, so no harm done.

    Huh I think I read the first book in this series

    All I remember is a part where two bears fight

    One bear straight up rips off the jaw of the other

    Shit, is the rest of the book that intense?

    I probably wouldn't have noticed. I suck at seeing subtext.

    I never got the Christian Narnia themes even though I read them while I was in 8th grade at a friggin' catholic school and religion all up ins.

    That...that is the stupidest thing I think I have ever heard someone say.

    Do the words "prequel" and "sequel" mean anything to you?

    do the words you can lick my sweaty balls mean anything to you

    the subtle knife was a better book. so, in summary, you can lick my sweaty nutsack

    I have never once read the golden compass. The subtle knife was the only one I read. The book focuses much more on william, or whatever, and his trials than it does on the little girl.

    *sigh* Faith in humanity...dwindling.

    There was a quote in the Watchmen thread about how someone was talking to a guy who said that it was very Alan Moore to have V as fire and Evey as rain or whatever and that V for Vendetta was totally faithful to the comic. He was then asked if he'd ever read the comic and said no.

    That's the vibe I'm getting right now.
