His Dark Materials

[CatholicDefender]

If you've seen the movie... how is it only potentially/non-actually good? Surely it's non-potentially/actually either good or non-good if you've actually/non-potentially seen it in actuality(/non-potentiality)?

In all seriousness, I haven't read it but my brother has and he thought it was great.

I should have clarified. I like it at first and I think based on the material it had potential to be good. But about half way through it just sort of meandered along and did not end that well. Same as the book series really.

Given all the bad things people have done in religion's name I sort of understand why  a person would be an atheist, but it just isn't as compelling when you hit people over the head wit hit.

C.S Lewis and J.R.R Tolkein were strong Christians and Christianity was a theme that ran strongly through their works. But they never made atheists out to be villains or say how evil the "Atheistic mindset" was. They did however decry greed, boundless ambition and disregard for others lives.


I sort of wish some editor had taken those books to the chopping block... but I digress.. .

Anyway.. there is some deleted ending to the golden compass squirreled away at Warner Brothers. I doubt it will ever see the light of day, or if the franchise will be revived since the movie did sort of destroy New Line Cinema:
