You may have heard, or seen an email, about how Phillip Pullman's upcoming movie "His Golden Compass" (based on a book from a trilogy) is overtly anti-Christian. Well, Snopes.com says: TRUE.

While I object to the sensationalist emails that uber-Christians send around every time something offends their delicate sensibilities, I'm kinda siding with the email on this one. This jackass has written a trilogy of fantasy books, in direct reaction to the Christian message snuck into the Chronicles of Narnia (which Pullman overtly despises), with the explicit purpose of getting entrenched in the minds of children and wiping out any religious beliefs. I mean, I don't think anyone should lace children's literature with any religious or anit-religious beliefs - it's just playing dirty.

I may go see the movie, because Rhian is nuts for this guy. I also like Nicole Kidman (which may balance out the stupid talking polar bear). But I'm tempted to burn this asshole's book, not out of any offended religious sensibility, but out of a hatred anyone who would use fantastical tales to clandestinely convince children to "kill God."

I hope Phillip Pullman gets sent to some sort of Catholic institution where he can be repeatedly raped by a succession of priests. And maybe a talking polar bear.

Pay no attention to the start and end times - show up when you can, leave when you want. :) We're going to try to watch a few films, of the fantasy genre, over the course of the evening. There will be tasty victuals and imbibitions. Long story short: Eat, Drink, and see Faeries. Invite your friends.
