Well I read the 3 books a long time ago and again you didn’t care listening to me when I told you those books where brilliant.

I was really looking forward to see this movie and I think it was really cool. After I saw the movie I started to re-read the first book but I’ve got such a big problem doing it since I keep remembering the movie. I think I’d better just wait a month or two before I resume reading it.

But of the three books I don’t think the first one is the best. I liked “The subtle Knife” but “The Amber Spyglass” is bigger and it is a good 3rd book. Can’t wait to see the movie.

Next book series that I seriusly want to see as a movie is the “Saga of the Exiles” followed up by “The Galactic Milieu” triology.

After those 6 movies they should be ready to produce some quality Sci-Fi Mechwarrior movies. Oh and sorry for jumping a bit but M$ finally sold the FASA rights they bought a few years back. So now we might see a MMO Mechwarrior game. I’d soooooo love that.

strange.. i had never heard the title “Northern Lights” until just now! I read the books about 7 years ago and the first was called “The Golden Compass” then. Maybe Golden Compass is just the American title or something!

I got bad reviews from my friends about this movie and I haven’t watched it till now.
But seeing your post, I’m now tempted to view it on DVD ;)

Of the 10+ people I know that have seen it, you’re the only one who said it wasn’t complete rubbish. ;)
