So are they intending to make every single book I read as a child into a film? I mean, why would they do that? Why?

This time I am referring to Moonacre, but it applies to so many other things too. Shall we list them? His Dark Materials, the Dark is Rising, Narnia...

No, we shouldn't list them, it gets too annoying. And I get too sad.

God, what did they do to the end?

Yeah I've always been looking for Gormenghast to watch, I do generally like the BBC's adaptations.

One of my professors (Patrick Curry) has written a number of books on Tolkien and so I've had every single weakness of the movies pointed out to me which rather dampens the enjoyment for me- although FOTR remains one of my favorite films of all time (I went to see it 5 times at the cinema).

The finished it early. The whole end sequence with Lord Asriel at Svalbard and the death of Roger and the opening of the passage into the Northern Lights isn't there. It finishes with Lyra and co in Lee's balloon floating off to find Lord Asriel (ie is happier) with the children rescued from Bolvangar and Iorek back on the throne (although they did that in the wrong order too).

Good luck finding it. It's on DVD now and probably quite cheap.

Ah. Yes, that would be annoying. I point out things myself, but sometimes get annoyed if other people do... lol!
