17 years, 5 months ago at Dec 7 4:18 - Kyaa! I LOVED those books. I kinda read them in the wrong order at first but it's one of the few books I was compelled to buy after reading them.
I'm really hoping this movie is kickass (although it probably won't be). There's just so many fantasy esque movies coming out lately that it's getting a bit tiresome but I'm actually a bit excited for this one.
Plus I'm really hoping it does well enough for a sequel. (As a very young child I had these weird fascinations about Will and his mutilated hand). But uh... Yeah. The cast they have assembled is quite lovely. Since the girl who plays Lyra is unknown I really hope she delivers.

17 years, 5 months ago at Dec 8 2:55 - It is true that the author is an atheist and the book has been pulled out of certain roman catholic school board libraries here in Ontario amidst controversy, but wether there is a hidden atheist message or if its just fear mongering spread by religious people simply because they don't like the author's atheist views, that i'm not sure of. I haven't seen the movie nor read the book yet.

17 years, 5 months ago at Dec 9 0:52 - and technically, helping the devil kill godisnt aetheism, its devil worship moreover, but, i dont think hes a devil worshipper so lets go with him being an atheist lol

17 years, 5 months ago at Dec 9 1:52 - I haven't read the books, it's a series isn't it? If I like the movie I'll probably end up reading the books. And yeah, the movie doesn't look half bad.. great cast.

17 years, 5 months ago at Dec 12 4:50 - The books have some pretty random things in it, if I remember, it's been a long time :D.
In Amber Spyglass, if I remember, they were going to get rid of God, who is apparently so old and decrepit that Metatron appears for him instead of himself, they free the souls from the afterlife, which is apparently all hell, no matter what you do, to dissolve into the world, etc.
So, it's right to have it pulled out of catholic schools and such since it is in effect against the religion.
Oh yes, I mean, halp halp iron on!

O teh irony.

17 years, 5 months ago at Dec 14 4:50 - They pretty much dislike almost all video games, by them I mean the people against the Golden Compass fervently. So, I bet that they don't know, but if they did, they would oppose them to.
Hell, I mean, even Twilight Princess got some points off for having the Great Fairy in it from them, as well as some pagan elements. I missed those, somehow.
