His Dark Materials

i really liked his books, but i do agree the description of dust was very hazy. but at the same time, if you think about it, that could have been part of his point. like how religious beliefs can be blurred, since it's all what the individual percieves of it.

i'm not sure what to think of the movies, but i probably will see them when they come out.. i heard bout it in the times a while back, and do think it's great that they're finally making them into films. but movie adaptations are either hit or miss, mostly. especially with the magnitude of each of this series in particular..

El Opium:
I heard the books had been optioned for movies, but if they're going to rip a core element out of the story out like that I'll just ignore them. As for the Mulefa, I'd say that something badly computer generated this way comes...

Grumpus:
I can't understand why they are even making the movies if they are destroying the plot that I love so dearly.

MilkmanDan:
I went and saw it at the theatre, and it was hella fresh. However, ripping out all the religion is retarded. The Church will just become ACME Evil Corp or some shit, and I don't even know what they'll do about the angels and God and such. It'll probobly suck.

So, I figured resurrecting this thread would make the most sense with the new HBO version of His Dark Materials having come out.

Of course there also was a thread about "The Golden Compass", but given the general response to that movie (which I thought was entertaining despite its numerous flaws), I opted for this one.

So, anyone seen the new show? I am currently re-watching the first season and love the show, and think it is much better than the movie. Without giving anything away, I enjoy the casting choices, especially Ruth Wilson as Mrs. Coulter.
Production values are, of course (HBO, duh) fantastic, and the pacing is well-done. It's not without its flaws of course, but overall very happy with the show. Glad it was picked up for a second season already.
