It was no ordinary life for a young girl: living among scholars in the hallowed halls of Jordan College and tearing unsupervised through Oxford's motley streets on mad quests for adventure. But Lyra's greatest adventure would begin closer to home, the day she heard hushed talk of an extraordinary particle. Microscopic in size, the magical dust- found only in the vast Artic expanse of the North -was rumored to possess profound properties that could unite whole universes. But there were those who feared the particle and would stop at nothing to destroy it. Catapulted into the heart of a terrible struggle, Lyra was forced to seek aid from clans, gyptians, and formidable armored bears. And as she journeyed into unbelievable danger, she had not the faintest clue that she alone was destined to win, or to lose, this more-than-mortal battle...I saw a trailer for this movie. It looks like it might be a fun kids movie... and some kid's movies are very fun for adults as well.
The Catholics are having a hissy fit about it. They say it's "anti-religion and anti-Catholic". Ya? So? The documentary Deliver Us From Evil is anti-Catholic as well.. as it exposes the rampant abuse of children that is inherent in Catholicism. Are we not supposed to see movies, or read books, that attack religion? I think we need more of them, because society will be much better off seeing religion and Catholicism for what it is.. pure and unmitigated evil.
Religion.. God.. Catholicism.. gets no special protection from criticism. If it can't stand on it's own merits, it deserves to be swept into the dustbin of history. I don't know why the Cathlics are that upset. There will always be a significant number of people who are deluded. Maybe it's a financial thing.. Hmmm.
Nicole Kidman looks great. I love that throwback look.
