Chapter 4 of A Day in the Life is up. So yay for that.

In other news, am I the only one who just realized that Iorek is being voice by Gandalf Magneto the Fantasy Film Jesus! McKellen? A film that looked like it was made of fail is now totally made of WIN. (Well, probably 95% win and 5% "WTF no religion?!!!!!")

Not sure how the film looks, though. Kind of seems cheesy in a PS/SS or CoS Chris Columbus kind of way. Never knew daemon was pronounced like that (somewhat appeases me for all the no religion crap), and not sure what to think of the bear animation - I'd have to see if it grates on me over the course of the film. The brief glimpse of Pantaliamon (or however you spell it, it's late) did look good though, but I'm reserving judgement on the girl. I kept anticipating that Iorek would growl, "You will not pass!" at her. The bear fight, however, did look pretty badass, although you could distinguish the CGI when Lyra showed up in the picture.

Meh. It looks kind of like Narnia and LotR put together, with a little HP element. If it's like Narnia (although more cynical and less religious, of course) I'll be happy. I love the irony of the thing, seeing how Pullman just came out and blasted Narnia and LotR. Brilliant author. Completely idiotic man.

Aaaaaannnnndddd I'm done. Time for sleep/writing. They're interchangeable, really. (That doesn't speak well of my writing.)
