Snow Leopard too. But I'm modest, humble, assertive, solitary and shy.

It's close but I don't agree with shy.

anyway, i didn't like the books (hated them, actually) and i am assuming that the film will be just as bad, or worse.

seriously, "The Golden Compass"? WTF (who tf) decided on that? surely His Dark Materials would have been a better choice?

<edit>

did the test again but selected "Strongly disagree" for everything and got a Marmoset, which is cool because only 3,650 people have gotten them (out of 464,013)

Its the 1st film in a series of three - His Dark Materials is the name of the entire trilogy.

Who called it the Golden Compass(es) - only the guy who wrote them !

For some time during the pre-publication process, the series of novels was known as The Golden Compasses. The word Compasses referred to a pair of compasses—the circle-drawing instrument—rather than a navigational compass. Pullman then settled on Northern Lights as the title for the first book, and continued to refer to the trilogy as The Golden Compasses.

In the US, in their discussions over the publication of the first book, the publishers Alfred A. Knopf had been calling it The Golden Compass (omitting the plural), which they mistakenly believed referred to Lyra's alethiometer, because the device resembles a navigational compass. Meanwhile, in the UK, Pullman had replaced The Golden Compasses with His Dark Materials (a title that Pullman had taken from a line in Paradise Lost) as the title of the trilogy. But according to Pullman, the publishers had become so attached to The Golden Compass that they insisted on publishing the US edition of the first book under that title, rather than Northern Lights, the title used in the UK.

As the book was known as The Golden Compass in the US and Canada, New Line Cinema chose to use that title for the film adaptation.

Snow Leopard - Modest, solitary, inquistive, humble and assertive.

Do you usually like fantasy books? I hadn't read that many before reading them and found them enjoyable, a very easy read but that's nice sometimes. His Dark Materials was the name of the trilogy, Northern Lights was the book name but the compass does feature in it so I suppose that's why they changed it.

I'd love to see the Dark Elf trilogy made into a film, that could be fantastic.
