His Dark Materials
While I have not read the first novel of Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" trilogy upon which The Golden Compass is based I am an enormous fan of Nicole Kidman in slinky golden dresses. The trailer also features appropriate steam-technology and thus may provide a portal into a number of aspects of my true reality (as opposed to my going to work reality which is sadly zeppelin-free) (as of yet).
We have the technology Update: Mr. Ash writes to point to an HD version of the trailer. Ok, well that's a billion times better.

It is a spectabuliscious book. I read it and the second novel but then for some reason stopped the series.. it like Mythago Wood by Richard Holdstock are two of my fave books.

Comparison to Robert Holdstock is high praise indeed. Ok, off to find the novel...

The first novel is good. The second one starts out good but breaks down somewhere towards the middle. The third one, except for a few good moments, is mostly dreck. My advice: just read the first one. Pullman decided to use the rest of the trilogy to grind his personal axe against a dead Christian author and IMO ruins his own story. If that's your bag that's fine but that sort of thing just bores me.
