I am too! In about fifteen minutes, actually. XD
Do the angels show up in the first book, though? I thought they didn't appear until the second? (To that ex-nun lady?)

BTW, I've only read the first book, so let's try to keep the spoilers at least to the first book. ^_^;
Also, no angels. It's only the first book that the movie is following.
Clover: I don't know, I haven't really noticed much anti-religion, I just am relaying what I've been told. I haven't made an opinion on him yet. And after all, I know and like(and sometimes agree with on certain points) many atheists. Although, I hate it when they try to tell me shit about how God can't exist etc. Just as much as they don't like people trying to convert them. Hypocritical much? The answer btw is yes.

My parents are strict catholic but I do not consider myself religious at all. I go to a private catholic school but only out of being forced by my parents. They have also banned me from seeing The Golden Compass even though they haven't read the books at all. They only follow Catholic reviews of movies. But I'm 18 so they can't force me to do anything. I'll see the movie when I can. It's my choice and movies to me are for entertainment. I like to feel involved in something where I can escape, I guess is what I'm trying to say.
Another movie I am DESPERATELY wanting to see is Sweeney Todd. Johnny Depp and Tim Burton... Plus a lot of actors from the Harry Potter films, etc are also supposed to be in it. I can't wait.

X3 I loved Sam Elliot as Scoresby, he was perfect. And the Kathy Bates as the voice of Hestor too. *squirms*

Yes, though I don't know WHY Christopher Lee was in it. Don't get me wrong, I love the man, but he was in it for like, two seconds. I figured he should at least have a bigger role.
And yes, Ian McKellan was AWESOME.

If they make the other books into movies, he probably will have a bigger role. Or...they just wanted Christopher Lee in it?

Maybe. But I'm sure he's not cheap.. so he probably will have a bigger role.

And dudes, I AM LEGEND was great! Super depressing, but great! And get this: their "safe haven" was Bethel, Vermont. HOLLA.

But see, the thing about Christopher Lee is that he's such a huge name, he doesn't have to have a big part in order to draw crowds. Take, for example, Sleepy Hollow. The man's name is in the OPENING CREDITS. When do we see him? Before that, in the two minutes in which Ichabod is charged with the task of finding the murderer in Sleepy Hollow. That's it. The end. Unfortunately, though, it's really hard for me to see Christopher Lee in any role now without giggling at least a little. This is because I am a HUGE fan of Kingdom Hearts. Anyone who has played KHII knows that Christopher Lee is the voice of DiZ, the guy in the red bandages. So this is now the first thing I think of when I hear his voice. Clover, I second what Misaki said. You're going to love Serafina. I love the aesthetics of this movie. It was so PRETTY. And the girl who played Lyra was fantastic. You'd never know this was her big debut film. They took a lot of liberties with the story (I sat there a few times just thinking "WTF?!"), but well done overall.

That was really her first? My god, she played her so well. I liked her the best. Oh and Nicole Kidman. She rocks in any role though...

CHRISTOPHER WALKEN IN THE GOLDEN COMPASS WHAT?!
Also, Sweeney Todd? Yes. Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter? Its a shame its illegal to touch yourself in the movie theatres. I might have to wait til it comes out on video.
Also, this might be just me, but there's a line in the trailer where Sweeney says, "The times have changed".... am I the only one who keeps expecting him to say " mate"?
Also, Serafina's gonna be awesome yay.
Also, and this is silly, but Christopher Walken? When I picture Satan, his face shows up in my mind.

LEE, not Walken, Clover! Y'know, Saruman from Lord of the Rings? Christopher Walken always reminds me of that "Weapon of Choice" video by Fatboy Slim, and I can't think of him without giggling.
