WARNING- The Golden Compass
I received this in an email and thought I'd pass it along to those of you that would find this info helpful in your choices of what to see this holiday season. I also checked it out at snopes.....it's 100% true.
This is a warning about an upcoming "kids" movie coming out in 9 comments from 8 users

A children book about a boy and girl killing god. I do think that some topics should be taboo. But freedom of speech gives film makers the right to make these movie's. Anyway I think I'll wait till i see the movie before i pass judgment.

Its obvious that the point of this email isn't to allow parents to make an "informed decision," it is to encourage a boycott.

How about we read the whole statement and not just a forwarded email before we damn this man and his art to hell. Oh wait.... I don't think he believes in hell so go for it. :) I for one am very excited to see this movie. That doesn't mean I think its appropriate for children. FYI this movie hasn't been rated yet.

Hmm, I guess the "watered down" version of the story of Moses should have given parents pause, too? http://www.imdb.com/title/t... The Prince of Egypt was praised as a wonderful children's movie, yet it doesn't depict the horrific plagues described in the Bible. Fair's fair, so judge literature accordingly. posted by

I read the trilogy years ago and loved it. Movies seldom translate well, but I will see the movie - probably after it's out on DVD. "I hate when Hollywood and others push their agendas on us!" I love statements like this, they crack me up. Has anyone from Hollywood ever held a gun to your head and said "you must see this movie or else!" LMAO... It's called choice OU. Just like I chose not to see that disgusting movie about Christ made by Mel Gibson. posted by

Sounds pretty funny. Maybe if I watched kids movies, I'd see it. As it is, I'm having difficulty deciding when I should allow my son to see Quentin Tarantino movies. I'm thinking maybe around 7 or so.I agree, Joty. I tried to watch the Christ movie and it sickened me so much that I left. It was like a religious horror film. posted by
