basildestinySIGH! I am a lot disappointed. I really wanted to see this movie.
It looked really cool! Fighting polar bears voiced by Gandalf/Magneto/Ian McKellan! Nicole Kidman! Talking animal friends!
But I should have known something was up when they were called daemons. Duh.

I really don't understand that kind of hatred. I guess I actually do understand that kind of hatred. I know exactly who wants to kill God. That's no mystery since he's already killed God's son.
And I know that this (by this I don't mean this post, but I mean opposition to the movie) will all get twisted and put on Christ Followers as we are intolerant of others. Or else we just aren't tolerant of ideas different from our own. It should not surprise anyone that we don't like movies based on books which kill the Creator of the Universe. Regardless of your opinions, Christ Followers are not out to kill other people's gods. Christ Followers are called to show the world the love of Christ. Being flawed sinners ourselves, we have failed and will fail at that. Our failure doesn't nullify the commandment "You will not kill."
So now I'm really disappointed. I was really looking forward to seeing that next month...next week actually. Kind of ironic that the same company that made Lord of the Rings is making this movie. Since Lord of the Rings is J R Tolkien's epic Christian Tale and that he was friends with C S Lewis. C S Lewis who is hated by Phillip Pullman for his Christian story The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. So it's like one degree of seperation. I have a feeling that might have been the idea though. Get the folks to come see the movie which should be awesome cuz its by the same folks who did LotR which was awesome! Weren't some of the same folks who did LotR effects also in Chronicles of Narnia? I think so, but I couldn't find it for certain. I should just looked on the wiki, but it's too late for that now.
I really wanted to see that. =\ ._.
