despite my initial hesitance towards how good this film would be, i am really excited. despite the whole "oh! the ALL IMPORTANT GOLDEN COMPASS! oh right, and there's that girl too, i guess". but unlike everyone else, apparantly i have to wait until december 26 to see it. because that is the release date in australia and i presume that includes new zealand. this is where you should imagine me saying "NOOO!" (à la star trek II) and weeping copiously. the almost three extra weeks will kill me, especially knowing that EVERYONE ELSE (WHO IS NOT NEARLY AS BIG A FAN AS ME) will get to see it first. you'd better not spoil it for me or i will cease to speak to you. seriously. do i look like i'm kidding?
I'll try to behave. When I post about it after seeing it opening night, I'll try to be as vague and general as possible.
ReplyDeleteWrath of Khan for the win!
ReplyDeleteso i guess really i do know the plot...i mean, i have read the books like 500 times.
ReplyDeletealso, derek, what do you think you win? : P hehe!
besides all the obvious reasons to see it (though I'll have to wait until nearly the same time you see it -- stupid finals .. only five more finals seasons before thesis!) i really want to check out their imagined architecture of Lyra's Oxford (and I assume London)... and speaking of Sarah I'm ready to go back there now and study their actual architecture and the crazy stuff they keep building over there. though we'll also have to fit in a side trip of course all over France. then i need to go travel the Pacific Rim b/c I love their innovative contemp architecture so you'd better hang out there for a while too. ;)
ReplyDeletebtw, i decided tonight that regardless of how insane the homework is that weekend, i'm totally going to see it when it comes out -- though i haven't a clue as to who might even want to go with me :( time to go to the movies alone again!!
ReplyDeletethough that might be the weekend i'm supposed to do my material and methods drafting final -- so then again, i might have to wait to see it :P
