Look at what I have!

The Golden Compass movie official Web site is currently offering these beautiful wallpapers as free downloads, as well as some other goodies. Also note the gold “12-7-07″ caption in each corner; the film is coming to U.S. theaters in less than two weeks!

To be continued later…

[Edit] Take a look at the fan reviews for the film. I was amused when I first saw it — nearly all of the reviews fall into the two extremes on the rating scale. Of course, all of the “Oh No!” reviews were authored by ignorant and intolerant Christians who maintain that the film is “anti-God” and “God-hating.” Have you ever seen anything like it? [/Edit]

    lol A friend of mine, who also happens to an avid fan of the series, spent a good 20 min ranting to me about the anti-God-claiming reviewers a few days ago.

    I support Hillary Clinton too.
    I doubt most Canadians follow American politics, but I think it might be more common here because we are a border city.

    I watched the CNN/Youtube Republican debate the other day, I really don’t like some of them, especially McCain.

    I want to watch the movie! But I have to read the book first, I guess.

    Oh right, and we should discuss your distaste for books with romance in them. XP Romance makes me very happy, if it is a certain type. What do you dislike about it?

    Amy: As much as I detest proliferating off-topic back-and-forth exchanges on these comment threads… I must ask you, what real merit is there in made-up, sappy, idealized romance? I think real-life romance, in any case, is phony and overrated. I can’t believe mankind is still fixated on this topic, and I can’t believe that just about every world culture out there seems to celebrate it through their art, music, and literature. You just don’t know how immensely irritating and disgusting it is.
