Steam Punk Fantasy
The Golden Compass movie might as well be a steam punk fan's wet dream. It looks absolutely stunning and the mixture of old and new is awesome. They also have "Daemons", spirit animals which hold a person's soul.
I took their "What's your daemon?" test and I find the results amusing as I have never felt any particular affinity to foxes.
I learned about the movie via MadameKat's LiveJournal. Thanks MadameKat!
Comments:Evidently a lot of people took the test multiple times and got different results with the same answers. They think it has to do with what time of day they took it, but no one seems certain. I got a mouse when I took it and haven't bothered trying again (I also didn't know about the time of day thing at the time and don't know what time I got the mouse at).
I got a fox too! Weird.
The movie SUCKS by the way. Extremely bad script - but it's BEAUTIFUL. If you watch it like you watch a post-card, then fine, it's ok. But if you want to watch a good film - then don't bother.
Nice steam-punkish kind of sets though, but they've left out the steam! (And the punk.)
I actually quite enjoyed the movie. It has some serious plot issues (mostly from what my fiancee tells me in places where it deviated wildly from the original source), but it was still beautiful and fun to watch.Post a Comment
I don't think I was expecting movie of the year here, just an amusing steampunk action flick. It probably helped that I really loved Lyra's actor. She has some serious skills.
