His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass - Redefining Dæmons

[Wolfsbane909]

1 person volunteered to have their power animal severed, why would one do that though? There goes her "demon".

[deathbysnipedpsn]

U actually spell it like dæmon

[swordebrithil12]

1:15 Did Stelmaria just tell Pantalaimon to behave himself? LOL

[swordebrithil12]

I at least wish I knew what form my dæmon settled as. I've always wanted to talk to her.

[can2004yon]

happy birthday dakota!!!!!!!!!!

[sarcasticduck44]

I so wish I had a daemon...

[star3catcherSEQUEL]

@sarcasticduck44 According to the books, we all have daemons, but they are only seen incertain worlds.

[RenataElliott]

This looks fantastic. :)

[nobodysperfect1993]

of this film i love the part when she is in the daemonator thing and then mrs coulter runs in in slow motion and is like no... and then she breaks the news that she is lyras mother...

[blagovicek]

beautiful film

[alach12]

wow I didn't believe eshto when he quoted that bible passage so I looked it up...

That's pretty sickening that the book that so many people hail as truth says a woman must be married to the man that raped her.

[saiyrus]

lol, is that old testament stuff?

[Goofball84]

@Amateuregypt: You do know that this is some sort of blasphemia. You better think before you talk (or write in that case) next time. Something like that should never even be thought of, let alone be written down. You should be ashamed of yourself. You'd better shut up for your own sake!

[Eshto]

I agree, the idea that a rape victim has to marry her attacker should NEVER have been written down.

Unfortunately it is written in the Bible. So who should be ashamed of "Himself"?

[McQwerty201]

amature..wow.......just..wow..­..read the bible before u start saying crap...

[TheFantomLord]

Amateuregypt you are a moron. God NEVER said raped women had to marry their rapers. Read the Bible before you start spreading lies about it.

[Eshto]

Why don't you read the Bible, dumbass:

Deuteronomy 22:28-29 (NIV):

28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered,

29 he shall pay the girl's father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the girl, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.

[biggdogglt]

amateuregypt, you are about an idiot. you are posting false stuff about God on here. If you do not know what you are talking about keep your scewed thoughts to yourself.

[StephanAOTTO]

Shouldn't it be pronounced DAYmon?

[TheSeventhArbor]

I thought the same thing!

[StephanAOTTO]

I'm just sayin'...lol.

On behalf of english teachers everywhere...

[StephanAOTTO]

My daemon is a giant white eagle.

[TessenDragon]

Yes, the æ letter is pronounced like the combined a e it looks like, but for some reason the film pronounces it as a normal e. D:

Which is disappointing.

Oh well. c:

I loved Pan so much. XD

[StephanAOTTO]

Maybe they did it that way as a little dig to the fundies, which is always kinda fun.

[IKNOWMYNAMESUX]

In the audiobooks, which were voiced by the author, Phillip Pullman, and a full cast, it was pronounced 'dee-mon'. But yes, æ does make the 'ay' sound.

[StephanAOTTO]

Okay, would someone please tell me how to gat me a&e close together like yours???!lol

[onlyway2hevnisjesus]

In the Bible, Jesus would cast out demons.This movie is telling people the worst thing that could happen would be to lose your demon.Go to the Word of God to find out how horrible demons are.They will eventually kill you.Please don't open yourself up to this lie of the devil. God sent Jesus into the world to save you from your sins and from satan's grasp. Don't go see this movie,please,first seek the Kingdom of Go.The devil's job is to steal, kill and destroy you.

[Eshto]

They're DAEMONS, goofball. Just the ancient Greek concept of "spirit" - not Christian DEMONS that take over little girls and make their heads spin around.

Try knowing what you are talking about before commenting.

By the way, I read your Bible, and it says I should hate gay people, that polygamy is okay, that slaves should obey their masters, and that women should keep their mouths shut because they're the property of men.

So... what's so great about Christianity again???

[chrwall77]

daemon (genitive daemonis); m., third declension

a demon

[amateuregypt]

Don't forget that raped women must marry their attacker! What sort of psychopath makes a woman do that? Answer: God.

[TheFantomLord]

really, Eshto? you have read the Bible? what part? because that is NOT what the Bible teaches. Are you really that blinded? If you actually read the entire book instead of picking out whatever you want, you would realize that that is not what the bible says at all. Disagree? Message me back!

[DemonMage]

Not agreeing with Eshto at all but that seems to be what EVERYONE dose with EVERY single religious text in the world. Picking out whatever backs up whatever their personal agenda might be.

[Eshto]

Actually that was my point all along.

[Eshto]

I read the entire Bible.

Oh wait, what, you mean... you can't just pull verses at random? Verses have to be understood... in CONTEXT?

No shit sherlock.

[mumpaaah]

have you even read the books? because i consider myself a christian and have read and *gasp* enjoyed the books. they are stories and can be interpreted in many ways, not just as "atheist propaganda". the only real danger in this whole debate is people closing their minds to other people's perspectives.

[pachecosita]

mine is a old looking guy with a beard...I want an animal...it's not fare. :(

[Donseilas]

if i am not mistaken,i got a fox.and yes yeah!

[neoZykl]

(lol watch it with baby bash- 'sugar sugar' in background)

[hylitrumboy94]

my daemon is a crow

:)

lol

[PrincessSunlynn]

yaaaaaaaaaaaay this is like, SO KEWL!!!

less than 2 weeks LEEEEEEEEEFT!!!

CANT WAIT!

[chunkeymonkey39]

Hester soudns so damn cool!!!!!!!! rofl I got a Snow Lepod as a daemon on the officail site

[neoZykl]

not bad, in fact

[PrincessSunlynn]

i gotta TIGA!!!

lol

[neoZykl]

I hope they have some good gags with Pantalaimon, he was always my favorite character

[neoZykl]

I dunno in the beginning I didn't like lyra (I imagined her completly different, and first I though WÄH a blondie), but they say she was a good actor so she's probably good in her role... well I hope so

[ErinTheElven]

roger :D <3 yay.

[Tallacus]

anyone took the daemon quiz on the offical movie site, i got a gibbon named Athenista

[neoZykl]

I got a raven, like pullman himself lol^^

[Tallacus]

and i got a gibbon like Ms. Coutler

[PrincessSunlynn]

dum dum dummmmmmmm

[Tallacus]

but i am nothing like her, i only answered the questions as truthful as possible

[PrincessSunlynn]

i gost a TIGA!!!

lol

[Donseilas]

whenever how bad or good we think,i hope it turns out good

[saddoll89]

i want to see this movie

[azeria815]

Hester!!! <3333

[HOuseZoMBIEE]

This film looks so unoriginal.

The design is a bland re-hash of Rings and Potter, it just pedestrian.

Dakota Ritchards is such a bad choice, she makes Jake Loyd look like Denzel Washington.

Chris Weitz is just a Hollywood dolt who is immitating Jackson, but failing to inject any of his own spark into the movie.

This will be damp squib, or there is no god, even Pullman agrees LOL

[Witlen]

You do have points there; ONLY, if they're right. Well all just have to wait and see. Similarities from the book to this adaption seem like they'll appear more often. Unlike something else (Sthat stated with an E)

Though I do see that this might possibly be another 'Oh man, here we go again' s. (I have to stop making big deals of things I can't control now)

[rtyper1]

cool the old trailer showed no daemons so i was worried there wouldn't be any.

[Abacanao]

it looks amazing!!!!!!!!!!1

[benjamoid]

if they do this right, if could rock the world

[Donseilas]

when i first heard that nicole acts as mrs coulter,i say that's mrscoulter

i never thought of Isaacs as Asriel,but I like both actors.and if isaacs get the role,i will be curious to the interpretation

[azeria815]

??? Daniel Craig is playing Lord Asriel...

[hisaishimish]

Oh I love that kind of off-tune music. I have a piece I love to play which has that...It's like music from a parallel universe! Precariously magnificent!!!

[nicolesgrace]

WOW!

Nicole Kidman as Mrs. Coulter = more than perfect (the character is my faourite)

Daniel Craig = Great choice

Dakota Blue Richards = wonderful

The music = one of the best soundtracks

I want to have a daemon too :P

[sabxzilla]

this is amazing! I cannot wait.

and i love the music!

[thebanrigh18]

cool!! can't wait

[rodentass]

Gawd I still hate that first bit "it's like she's never seen someone's daemon before" -shudders- otherwise still looks awesome and I LOVE Hester

[WiltingSatine]

This is awesome! I love Stel.

[melliu]

Exellent!! Love Mrs. Coulter!!
