I know most people raved about it but I fell asleep all three times I tried watching it. I also find the Potter films more palatable than the books. Only managed to get through the 1st one and that was with difficulty. I suspected the cop out on the Dark Materials film probably had something to do with the Christian rightwing in the States but I'm not really up on their politics much.Rae Stoltenkamphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02223741692239505283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234682053618417293.post-15061795308903123042019-09-21T02:19:47.156-07:002019-09-21T02:19:47.156-07:00I completely agree with you about Corelli etc. I ...I completely agree with you about Corelli etc. I could add the latest Tinker Tailor to the list with Gary Oldman miscast as Smiley. Conversely, I think the Harry Potter films are better than the books. I'm looking forward to the Beeb's His Dark Materials too. I gather the reason for the Hollywood cop-out on the religious issues was that the producers were afraid of offending the Christian rightwing, which is much more vocal there than here. <br /><br />BevChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10661122971805608169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2234682053618417293.post-43504259724946410802019-09-18T23:09:28.870-07:002019-09-18T23:09:28.870-07:00It is indeed.

It's pretty rare for a film to outdo a book I think.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04631254646368974136noreply@blogger.com
