I'm listening to the audio version of the book.

Your pastor's post was great. That's pretty much what each review of the movie I've read, has said. I'd still like to see the movie... but yeah, his perspectives are good. I wonder what he'll think of the books.

As to the other article, it should be stickied at the top of this thread. Excellent writing.

Why would you go to see a movie that centers around a Pan?

I do struggle with this as well. Clearly... the only route is illegal downloading!


Cool! Interested to know what you think (bearing in mind they say the 2nd and 3rd books are the noise-makers).

   Honestly...I had considered that, but have not done it yet.

I figure if I just rent it when it hits video, the video store will get my money, and not Phillip Pullman.

It is tempting to watch it at some of the places that stream it online though 

You're right Dave, I should forget the video store thing and just watch it online.

After all, I've done worse in my life too.

Simmer down Dave, I was just being sarcastic.

Having a bit of fun with your "after all I've done worse" comment.

I'm still planning on renting it from a Video Store when it releases, that way he doesn't get jack from me.

I don't have to pay him, the video store will, but I'm still legal, and Biblical.

(Unless you consider video stores to be anti-biblical)

As far as that encouraging them to buy more of that kind of thing, it doesn't.

They're already going to be ordering multiple copies regardless of what I do or don't do.

I know the guy who does the ordering, and they're going to carry multiple copies of anything that is a major release.

I also don't consider it the kind of movie that HAS to be seen in the theatre to get the full effect, like Transformers or Star Wars.

Not buying, RENTING!

and yes,

THE ENTIRE FINANCIAL FATE OF THIS MOVIE HANGS IN THE BALANCE OF WHAT I DO!!!!!

MU HAHA!!!!   MU HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!!!!

I'M DRUNK WITH POWER!!!!!!
