his dark materials

The first trailer for The Golden Compass, in Quicktime. I read His Dark Materials several years ago, and it's a great series -- it's darker, richer, and more philosophically interesting than Harry Potter. (9) #

A disapproving look at the Christian elements in the new Narnia film, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. I have to admit, the Christian imagery didn't make much of an impression on me when I read the entire series at around the age of 9. Philip Pullman of His Dark Materials fame on Narnia: "Narnia represents everything that is most hateful about religion." Secularism v. religion, as played out by children's novels. Fun.
