My thoughts on finishing amber spyglass by the way is that it is a perfectly english ending, and therefore crap. Down with catholicism up with anglicanism (same structure without as many rigid sexual hangups) and meanwhile growing up means getting over adventure and becoming a boring scholar.

That reminds me of the thread I keep thinking I imagined, where mark s came up with an intriguing new concept of history and time.

Great. Philip Pullman appears to have turned into Terry Pratchett without the sense of humour.

Church of Englanders protesting about the oppression by religion = just fucking pathetic, to be honest.

Why? Religions have oppressed and manipulated people all over the planet. Isn't that enough to be indignant about?

Most boring statement ever. "The imagination behind the setting and the plot-turns and the characterization didn't really mean much, but WHOO IT WASN'T NICE TO RELIGION!"

Yesterday, industry insiders leaked news that Tom Stoppard's script for "The Golden Compass" had been "junked," and director Chris Weitz ["About a Boy"] was tipped to take over on the writing. Industry sources described him as a "huge dork-level fan of the books [who] wants to do them justice." He's won praise for his understanding and direction of the boy character in "About a Boy." The ability to write convincingly about teenagers would be an advantage in "The Golden Compass."
Yes, the director of a Nick Hornby novel adaptation is all revved up for His Dark Materials. Oh dear.

Stoppard seems to have bad luck with screenplays, didn't he write Baron Munchausen and have all of his stuff rewritten? Maybe he's not a good screenwriter.

(they would all work very well as very good 150-minutes-ish movies but as average or possibly just QUITE good 150 minutes movies they might be really bad.

Kinda like the Tripods when I was a kid. I remember loving that when I was younger, as I remember they televised the first two books of the trilogy, left with a massive cliffhanger and never produced the final series.
