We're up for dinner afterwards too.

Yep, right next door. We're 105 & 106. I almost took 107 & 108 - I just couldn't decide :D

Hi Moonliner, no worries, no offense taken at all whatsoever to the question. Yeah I've read all the books, with a preference leaning towards the first two, and most of the third.

Well I hope that everyone who who goes to see it has a good time, if nothing else, to talk about what worked and what didn't when the movie is over. Cheers!

OK, I'll mellow out and wait a bit to see what type of buzz it gets and go from there. However there is ONE thing that just MUST be in the movie or (in my opinion) it's all rubbish. That being one very surprised sperm whale. Splat.

The reviews on www.rottentomatoes.com have been, so far, almost entirely favorable. I'm hopeful.

Umm... he's dead.

Died four years ago.

He did work on some elements of the screenplay, years ago before he died. He supposedly worked on the Humma Kavula parts (among others) that aren't in the books.

Rose and I got orchestra Row A, Seats 111 & 112
