Err, nope. Miles are longer than Ks.... so 100 miles is about 161 km. That's a long way for a local cinema. Poor thing. I'd say Children of Men was worth that but then I'm not the one having to do the driving.

Oops. got it backwards, 2.2Klicks in a mile, not 2.2 miles in a Km. Been a long time since high school. 
We did make the trip for 'The Golden Compass', wasn't worth it.... Not nearly as good as the book, IMHO.

Well of course, but I did like the whole premise. Was there anything more disturbing than that scene at the school? (won't say more because I don't want to spoil anyone)
And even Michael Caine didn't get on my nerves! And I love that ping pong ball scene in the car. A few seconds let you see all there is to see about the two characters' intimacy. Brilliant.
do.

It was a bit of a let down but surprisingly it made me want to see the next one. If there is one. But I still haven't attacked the book yet so this is purely from someone who knew nothing about the story to begin with. I thought the whole daemon thing was very interesting.
do.
