The Golden Compass

Postby Silver_Surfer1 » Wed Dec 5, '07, 8:52 pm

Has anyone seen this new movie, "The Golden Compass", yet? I've heard there is already some controversy regarding it. I can't help it, from the previews I have seen of it, the movie looks very interesting. I think I might like it.

I might rent it when it hits DVD. I was interested in seeing it when I first heard about it, but that was like a year ago or something. My interest has died off and I don't care about it right now.

Saw it last night, and it was phenomenal. ^_^

No, there was no "Dur hurr they killed their God hurrrrrrrr." Nor was it Narnia For Athiests. It's just a fun, thrilling fantasy. Think Lord of the Rings, only without the thirty or so endings for each movie. =p

It looks interesting, with the airships and the polar bears and all that. I've heard a lot of complaining about "God killing" or whatever, but I'd still like to see the movie and evaluate it for myself. I'm not sure if I'll see it in the theater or wait for the DVD, but I want to check it out sometime.

It looks okay, not something were gonna see too soon...
Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.

People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....

I think I will stay away from this one. It looks fun and innocent. Looks can be deceiving sometimes. :bored:

Sometimes things are just what they look like. :) Give it a chance; if you don't like it, you can always stop watching it right?

I heard about the controversy too. I think I'll keep an eye on this one but I'm not sure if I'll rent or buy it on DVD.
