A Movie, a Fable & a Cold

It has been forever and a day since I wrote a bloggg. At first I felt guilty, then I realized that its basically only me and a few friends-random people that come over here. So I figured I was actually doing them a favor by not bloggging so much... I mean, now they dont have to feel obligated to be here reading things that have no purpose (... he he... hows that for self-justification!)

Another day is here... and its a lovely day. Seriously, sunny skies, singing birds, the whole sha-bang ("Sha-Bang Sha Bang... oh baby when she moves she moves"... err... sorry).

I wish I had more exciting things to write about. I mean, I have my normal video game thingy and reviews. And I am pretty happy about being over my cold... but alas... little more is going on my life. Work, work, work... play... gym, gym... and sleep, sleep.

I have been reading the book the Golden Compas. Actually, I bought this book that had the whole trilogy for like 10 bucks (including shipping) on E-bay. I had watched the movie and hated the way it ended. I was so curious... but then I figured... eh, they'll prolly make a sequal... but when I went online to snoop it out... it appears NO SEQUAL is currently planned! OH NOOOO... I mean, I really didnt like the girl who played Lyra... she seemed more annoying than anything... but the rest of the characters were super coo... and I love Nicole Kidman in this movie. She was so prettily evil... anyways... thats just me I'm sure...

ANYHOOZ, so after learning that no sequel was currently in the plan/works I had to buy the book to see how it went. So I have just finished the first book of the trilogy, and I must say the movie did a somewhat chop job on the book. Dont get me wrong, I know movies have to do that because there are time considerations and movie lengths and things that are impossible to do in the movies... but they sort of took the key events of the book and mushed and cut them around to places they shouldnt have been. They let some characters live and left out some pretty important stuff in my opinion. But i guess, in watching the movie, you get the gist... and I guess thats all you need. BUT they totally left out the ending of the first book and WOW I was shocked as hell. I dont know how they are gonna spin that around for the movie if they make a part two (he he he... I made you curious hu?... excellent)
