Alethiometer and Such

In a mere two weeks, The Golden Compass hits theaters. I’m excited. Clips are leaking on the Internet, and I plan on seeing the movie the day it comes out.

In a previous post, I complained that the trailer did not refer to Lyra’s special instrument as an “alethiometer,” but instead as a “golden compass.” Luckily, in an interview with director Chris Weitz, my complaints are thwarted.

In the film it’s called both an “alethiometer” and a “golden compass.”

I can live with that.

I’ve been saying it for months, but I’m still looking for people to join me to see my favorite book on the big screen. It’s going to be a good time.
