Your Mom liked the books? Then it sounds more and more promising.

I miss out on hearing about these things because I (we) generally don’t go to see very many movies. I like the occasional movie, but Irene has many reasons not to: they are too loud, the screen is too big, you have to sit too close, and so on. That, coupled with my general stationary inertia, means that we don’t get out much.

I’ll have to see if I can drag Irene to see Golden Compass, though.
