It's beginning to look a lot like Wubbiss
If you were wondering why I hadn't posted yet today, wonder no more! I am at home on a vacation day. I woke up at 3:45 this morning, and the mere thought of even attempting to go into work was so traumatic that I broke out into hives. Well, not really. It was traumatic though. I just wish so much that there was some way for me to go back to sleep after waking up in the middle of the night like that. And before you suggest it, I already tried blows to the head and they don't work. Just give ya a splitting headache. But my plan for this afternoon is to try to rest as much as possible and try to find the plot of that new movie The Golden Compass. Because I keep seeing commercials for it with these vicious polar bears in armor, and it strikes me as one of the weirdest things I've seen in recent memory. And, listen, I just got through three birthing videos, so that's saying something. You just don't think of polar bears wearing clothes. It seems so wrong. Like a chicken with a calculator.

THE GOLDEN COMPASS, a new movie targeted at children, will be
released December 7, 2007. This movie is based on a the first book of
a trilogy by atheist Philip Pullman. In the final book a boy and girl
kill God so they can do as they please. Pullman left little doubt
about his intentions when he said in a 2003 interview that "My books
are about killing God."
The movie is a watered down version of the first book and is designed
to be very attractive in the hope unsuspecting parents will take
their children to see the the movie and that the children will want
the books for Christmas.
The movie has a well known cast, including Nicole Kidman, Kevin
Bacon, and Sam Elliott. It will probably be advertised extensively,
so it is crucial that we get the word out to warn parents to avoid
this movie.
You can research this for yourself. Start with this article on

That does give me some good info about the movie, but what about the polar bears? Are all polar bears atheists?? I still don't get it!!
I think grizzly and brown bears are. Kodiaks have been known to be agnostic, but the jury is still out on polar bears. Sorry! ;)
HA! You guys crack me up. Yeah, the only thing I heard about it is that it was based on books by an athiest. That aside, it's odd that you can't tell what the movie is about from the commercials.
