Aaah!

Umm...

Gee...

I so don't know how to feel about that. I mean, it's tempting to get excited, to hope, but I'm just not convinced that it could be made into a good movie. Opinions?

It does have a pretty cool looking flash-based alethiometer and a meme/quiz/thing that gives you a daemon to match your personality. Playing on the book's notion that daemons change while people are young, for the next 12 days it lets your friends answer a smaller quiz that affects its final form.

Here's mine.

She's currently a Jackal(??) named Athenestia. I like the name, and I have to admit that daemons were one of the things in those books that really grabbed my fancy and made me wish I had one. Then it could go around checking on my students and answering questions while I did memes on lj!

...oh, wait. Crap. *leaves*

Same here. I want it to be good, sure.

My daemon was supposedly an ocelot...or perhaps a margay or a leopard cat. Clearly the thing's defective 'cause I don't like hot places.

The daemon quiz won't work for me. It always freezes right at the end, after giving me the daemon's name, but before telling me what it is. Every time. On three different computers. Using two different browsers. It hates me. Or, you know, someone fails at flash. :P

When I click on your, "Here's mine." link, it takes me to the movie website rather than the embedded animation that goes along with your Daemon.

That's weird. You're the second person to say that and yet 5 people have altered mine. I'd edit my post to include the embedded flash link, but I must have typo'd my email when I signed up because I never got an email with the link I'd need to go back and edit/download her. =:(

Enh, I have no hope for that film, other than as a 30 minute trailer of FX shots. There's really two things there. On one hand, you'd have to be absolutely incompetent to fuck up armored sentient polar bears. On the other, you can't hold out any hope for an FX-laden kids movie that essentially retells Paradise Lost.

But, yes, I clicked through the Ultima IV quiz and god my Daemon too. She's a bunny!

If you take out the www. from the link, it works...or at least, that's how i managed to get it to.
