An army stands behind her.
Dec. 20th, 2007 12:21 amAnd I'm back.
"The Golden Compass" was good, I really enjoyed it. I had heard it was kind of a hack job, but as someone who's never read the books, I was able to follow it without any trouble. It didn't feel hacked to pieces. There was no ending, which was kind of awkward. I know they were setting up for the next movie, but there was too much setup. They should've either stopped sooner or added another finale scene. I felt like they were building toward something that never arrived.
Still, I really liked it. I may pick up the books sometime. In the meantime, I'm excited about "Prince Caspian," hilarious though the presence of that preview on "The Golden Compass" may be. And I found out my local theater is showing "National Treasure" at midnight tomorrow night, so I may jump on that. If I don't, I probably won't be able to see it until after the new year.
After the movie I met up with my sister and a friend of hers at Applebee's, where we had appetizers and listened to some exceptionally bad karaoke. Ugh. x_x I may be seeing more of this particular friend, she's homeless at the moment and my sister's wheedling me into letting her stay with us for a few days. It's the holidays, and she's in a pinch, and I know helping her out is the right thing to do... but I'm still nervous. I don't really know her and I'm worried we're going to be stuck with her longer than I'd like. :S
Aaaaand now I'm home. :)
