Oh yay a post! C+P my comment from Roundup:

I thought it was a great start! Two little things that make total sense but blew my mind: All this time, since I was a kid, in my head, I’d been pronouncing Lyra as “Lee-rah,” not “Lie-rah” + Pan having a kid’s voice. Like ofc a kid’s dæmon would have a kid’s voice but when I was that age reading these books I imagined him sounding like an adult tbh.

Also the music in the title sequence is still stuck in my head (and when I first watched it I got CHILLS).

I'm thankful for having gotten into the book series right around when the movie was coming out so I had the proper pronunciation already. With Harry Potter, I spent 3 years running around calling Hermione "Hermy-ohn".

A lot of people did this tbh! I dunno how my 7th grade teacher found out the proper pronunciation since that was before the movies, but I'm glad she did and told us all.

What a saint of a teacher tbh! I remember vividly going to see the first movie and my dad turning to me like "O_o" when they first said her name in it and he never lets me live down any of the dumb pronunciations I used as a voracious child reader. The one he most often gets me with is "irrevocably" which I used to pronounce "Ear-ruh-vok-ably".

Good gods, James McAvoy did it for me, even though his age is catching up and at the start it felt like his accent was moving around a bit ?

But it looks so good and high risks straight away and I'm here for it!

It was pretty much perfect imo ❤❤❤

I'm just honestly so glad we're finally getting a proper adaptation of this series 😭😍

Didn't watch yet, but ugh, he's so hot. Is anyone going to see him in Cyrano?!

I was one of the saddos who were there the literal SECOND the tickets went on sale. Made it to work in time, too. Can't wait!

scriptedending November 6 2019, 22:57:35 UTC

Ugh, I am so jealous!! I saw him a few years ago in The Ruling Class and he was incredible on stage. Really wish I could have come to see this one, too. I hope you report back!

tilney November 7 2019, 09:56:48 UTC

Ah, I saw Ruling Class too! Wasn't it a trip? I'll deffo report back from Cyrano :).

I was pretty meh on it, but I think part of it was due to my own mindset while watching. Plus I need to get used to watching kid acting again. Ruth Wilson did a great job though.
