@cstross The Golden Compass.

Northern Lights is wonderful. I've read the Dark Materials series a number of times now and will never tire of them.

But that movie was dog shit.

Don't get me wrong, it looked beautiful, the cast was outstanding (Sam Elliott was a *perfect* Lee Scoresby). But the studio fucked it six ways to Sunday, leaving it a neutered mess. And worse, they then abandoned the series.

But it eventually led to the wonderful TV adaptation, so I guess it worked out. @pdcawley
