This "The Golden Compass" business cracks me up.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

The Catholic Church is upset about the movie based on the book "The Golden Compass" because it involves evil groups of Catholic conspirators who are determined to censor and destroy blasphemy, heresey, and free thought, so they're using evil groups of Catholic conspirators in order to censor it.

The irony is both tasty and delicious.

“The good news is that the first book’s explicit references to this church have been completely excised"

-from the US Conference of Bishop's "good" review of the movie.

1. Just wait till the next two books in the series come out

BTW anyone who doesn't realize magisterium=church isn't too bright but I guess these guys aren't

5. That's what I was thinking.

I just picked up the books this weekend.

There's really very little sacrilege in the first book, it doesn't really get started until the beginning of second. So the complaints about the producers removing all the sacrilegious stuff may be a bit premature.

2. too bad it's a crappy movie

really...it's like Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia had a kid and then beat it with a shovel.

3. I liked it

6. Agree

I went to go see it out of curiousity, and I was sorely dissappointed. :(

8. It's a conspiracy by the Movie Studio's to trump up business for

a movie...

I bet they are all in cahoots...
