It’s curious to note that there are no pictures on the Golden Compass (movie) website of Derek Jacobi playing the role of the Magisterial Emissary. It made me laugh outright how much the man looked like Pope Benedict XVI.

Since I read the book a few weeks ago, here’s my review of the movie - we went last night.
It was the same characters, but they were telling the same story to the same ends in a parallel universe - so different was the story in the movie from the story in the book.
