And then there is the behemoth movie of the year…

The Golden Compass, of course. At the Random House booth last week at BEA I picked up a sumptuous booklet full of gorgeous images from the film. As fairrosa said when she saw it, “Sure hope the movie is as good.” And now for those who can’t get enough, the production notes are available here.

I’ve got a date to see the movie with a couple of former students, but hope that isn’t the first time I get to see it. (Broad hint to those doing early screenings here in NYC:)
