The Golden Compass finally came out on DVD, so I could see it. I really liked the books and from the previews thought the visual style of the movie was perfect. The previews didn't lie there. I think the visual style of the movie was perfect. I was also excited to support the movie given all the criticism it was receiving from religious groups. Unfortunately, the movie suffered a little bit from trying to compress the entire book into two hours as well as adding in some more explanation that came in some of the later two books. Overall, I thought it was a pretty good movie. The armored bears were awesome and all of the characters were pretty good. I hope the movie was successful enough to warrant its sequels as the story gets really good in the second and especially third books. If you haven't seen it, I suggest seeing it and then reading the books.
Game four of the Red Wings/Avs series. The wings are up 3-0 and the could close it out tonight.
Funny school story for the day. One student who does pretty much nothing turned in an assignment. It was basically blank with a few token responses and a completely wrong graph. However, it did have an interesting sentence asking if it was true that a certain student had sex with another certain student in sixth grade. Random and inappropriate. Of course this student had no idea how that got on the paper.
Tomorrow's Friday.
