My Biggest DisappointmentOften the things we look forward to the most turn out to be a huge let down. As Freddy Woo puts it, "High heels in bed? No fun at all. Porn has a lot to answer for."
Well, Freddy, you are supposed to get someone else to wear them.
What's disappointed you lot?

Golden CompassAs a child i read everything - from newspapers to war and peace.
Eventually grew up.. burnt Harry Potter as it bored me so.
But Northern Lights - and the whole trilogy for that matter - i couldnt put down.
And you know whats coming - and i know your all saying - lord of the rings was shit compared to the book. but no matter. the golden compass is awful! i payed £6 to go see it too!! plus petrol.. and pizza hut!!
just think of all the children who are excepting a wonderful story with a little boy and girl going to see the second film - only to watch the little boy die right at the start.. what on earth were they thinking!?
apologies for rambling.. but you expected it with such a QOTW

I am currentlypainting a lot of characters from the golden compass for my next door neighbours garden..... local gala day. I had to watch the film.... it was shit but at least there was some horrific mutilation in it. Also..... I wish they'd chosen something easier.... I like a challenge, but painting a life-sized Sam Elliot and Nicole Kidman is turning into a nightmare.

Well crapMy kids are dying to buy this DVD. Hopefully it will be interesting enough for a 5 and 7 year old.

Agreed...Book: characters are consuming opium and peering at a severed human head within the first dozen or so pages.
Film: realigned and readjusted so it's suitable for small children. Violence and disfigurement, without a single spot of blood! Fantastic special effects, but the digital characters consistently out-acted the human ones - plus the editing and general pacing were utterly terrible.
Good point on the immediate death required for the second film - but personally, I'd be surprised if it gets made any time soon...
