DO NOT SUPPORT THE GOLDEN COMPASS
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 people to avoid this movie.
All I have to say (well, besides the obvious) is Sam Elliott is fucking hot. Now that’s a moustache I’d like to ride.

every time the commercial trailer comes on for this movie I tell everyone in earshot that the god people don’t want us to see this movie. I’m hoping that my efforts will up viewership by at least a dozen people

Sadly they don’t realize that the best thing they could do to accomplish their goal is to completely shut up. I personally had seen the trailer months ago and gave it no more thought (meh). That is until my coworkers had this very conversation the other day based upon the religious right throwing a tantrum. Now we’re curious and we all want to see what the fuss is about.

I’ll boycott this movie only because Sam Elliot is in it! The only thing hot about this guy is the global warming he supports! Haven’t you ever recognized the celebrity’s voice in the “Beef, it’s what’s for dinner” commercials? That’s right, it’s your heartthrob supporting the inconceivably cruel and unspeakable conditions cows are forced to endure, the largest contributor to global warming (yes, even higher that automobiles) and the cause of heart disease which is the biggest killer in the USA of men and now women too. All thanks to the beef industry as represented by your buddy Sam.
Hot? NOT! Unless he has his big mac attack during the movie I’ll pass, thanks.
Oh, and speaking of celebs, see if you can recognize the voice of the narrator in this meat industry short video: http://meat.org/

See, I don’t watch TV and depend on other people to clue me in on this shit. Heyyy, that means he’s already talking dirty! Goes right along with my “on your knees” fantasy, ey?
OK how about this: I’ll let him fuck me if he goes vegetarian.

Oh my god, AN ATHEIST??? I’ll be damned if my nieces and nephews will see that movie. I refuse to support anything based on the work of someone who belongs to a group of people that believe it’s okay to molest/have sex with young boys! Oh wait a minute…I’m thinking of Catholic priests. Why exactly is it we think the atheists are so bad? I seem to have forgotten while remembering all the murder and sexual abuse and numerous other atrocities carried out in the name of God.
And I’m not into men, but Sam Elliot is a hot motherfucker. He’s a total badass and that voice! I get chills every time I hear him read “Yes Virginia…there is a Santa Claus” in that lame reindeer movie.
