It was a lovely movie with about 2 good scenes. Sorry you can't see that.

They explicitly don't get together in the first movie, that's kind of the whole point.

I suppose her telling him she loves him and spent the moment she was about to die thinking about him, that was just making conversation?

Was that in the last book? I remember that scene but nothing else so I'm wondering if I ever actually read it... Anyway this is a part of Catholic dogma that allows for the heathens ignorant of Christ not to burn in hellfire when they had no opportunity to know better. If you know about Jesus and choose to believe in something else, or not believe at all then you're damned. All this Narnia talk makes me want to go back and read the Magicians again.

Yea. Last book, which is pretty terrible. Marina is such a mixed bag. There's a lot of cool stuff in there, but the clumsy shoehorning of christiAnity into it, and weird sometimes idiosyncratic to Lewis Christianity, hurts it a lot. Reading the whole series just made me like you want to reread the magicians.

Also spider-man 2 is excellent. The first one doesn't hold up nearly as well, but at least it's not just straight bad like the third.

Ah, you're using the secondary meaning of metaphor that was heavily favored by the star Wars prequels, wherein a broken heart will literally kill a woman despite advanced medical technology

Hey, to be fair, the events in the movies are explicitly stated to have taken place a long time ago. Those medical droids might still be using space leeches for all we know.

I had tried reading the books when I was like 12 but couldn't get through them but my wife and I have been reading them at night. We just recently made it through The Golden Compass and are about 80 pages into The Subtle Knife.

The thing that gets me about the books is I feel as if they really respect the reader. They have never felt "childish" in the way Narnia did. Just the language used and everything that's discussed seems to be a lot more mature than the age group to which it's aimed. They've made great nightly reads.

It's kind of an unfair comparison, though. Pullman's work is written for teenagers, whereas the Narnia books are archetypal children's literature; of course the latter is more sophisticated and complex.

I think Pullman did a good job with the overarching story and themes, but the settings in his later books just weren't as interesting or fleshed-out as the ones in Golden Compass. Atl-history Victorian London was really cool and nothing else quite lived up to it's coolness.
