Such big, strong hands...

You know what I want for X-Mas? A Neverending Story remake by the people who did the Golden Compass.

Don't know where we're going to find another mulleted girlyman to perform the theme song, though. Maybe Placebo would do it for yucks.

Fucking-A, I'm serious.

  1. I dunno...

    After seeing "The neverending story 3" I'm scared they'd only bugger the whole thing up. I still think the old version with lots of puppets was pretty awsome, I was dissapointed in the sheer amount of CG involved in the golden compass, that and reusing the same CG footage three times.

    I think if the Golden Compass people hooked up with Jim Henson studios and the guys that did Pan's Labyrith THAT would be WICKED AWESOME!!

  2. But, but... the golden compass was a pretty lousy movie! The animals didn't move right, for one, and the only remotely likeable element was the inclusion of Lee Scoresby and Hestor!

    But then again, much as I love the Neverending Story movie, they really couldn't fuck it up that badly. Who knows, maybe this time they'd include the second half of the book?

  3. I liked it okay. Probably helps that I haven't read the original novel for the Golden Compass, so I don't have anything to compare it to.
