the golden compass is a terrible film

[King Crimson]

forget all the "trick your kids into hating Christianity/reverse CS Lewis ideological screw job stuff", it's just a terrible movie.

looks great, but it's just stupid. the plot sequence is absurd. the last half hour i was thinking "gawd, this movie sucks".

Has Nicole Kidman ever been in a good movie?

I finally finished reading "His Dark Materials" last night. I don't see how it could be made into a movie and make any sense. I still plan to see it.

i haven't read the books but it's terrible. I guess they plan to make more? or have filmed them already.

I listened to the books on CD during my xmas trip...in a word, they were awesome. IMO, you have to really want the atheism thing to be there for it to be there and carry any significant meaning. Otherwise, it's just an alternate-reality world that you can suspend disbelief for and buy into a really good story.

But I agree...the movie wasn't really all that great...

Far And Away
Batman Forever

What's that, 2 for about 50? Not a good average, even if you use the Stoolwater College football scale.

eyes wide shut is good. at least as good as batman forever and such.

more arty are dogville and the hours.

His Dark Materials isn't atheist. There actually is a god, angels, heaven and hell in the book.

Of course, he does twist 'em. A bit. :)

To Die For was a pretty good movie. I'm all for knocking off Matt Dillon. ;)

Billy Bathgate was also good.

The Others

To Die For was hella good. Matt Dillon is kewl, btw.

Billy Bathgate was meh. The Hours was good, Interpreter was ok, She was kinda hawt in Dead Calm.

Actually, Joaquin Pheonix got the best part in To Die For as I recall.

The Spiderwick Chronicles PS2 game doesn't suck quite as bad as the Golden Compass game...

Just an FYI...:D

[GottaHavePride]

I thought Moulin Rouge was actually pretty good, in a trippy sort of way.

The Roxanne tango is just freakin' awesome.

[crawfish]

I enjoyed Dead Calm, To Die For, Billy Bathgate and Far and Away.

The Others

[sooneron]

[GottaHavePride]
